Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MACOLAB (Towards a mathematical conjecture for the Landau-Ginzburg/conformal field theory correspondence and beyond)

Teaser

Summary

What is the problem/issue being addressed?

The project aims to get a deeper understanding of the relation (suggested by physics, that we will call LG/CFT) between two apparently very different mathematical entities: matrix factorizations (MFs) and representations of vertex operator algebras (VOAs).

Why is it important for society?

This is a project within pure mathematics, and has little relevance for society.

What are the overall objectives?
1) Obtain more equivalences (mathbb{C}-linear and tensor) between categories of MFs and categories of representations of VOAs,
2) Study further properties shared between these two,
3) Attempt to construct a higher categorical framework where to embed all these equivalences.

Work performed

Research output in the period August 2017-May 2018: 3 preprints in preparation,
- 1 on spectral flows and conjugation morphisms in categories of MFs,
- 1 on algorithmic approaches to orbifold equivalence of potentials, and
- 1 on higher categorical structures within LG/CFT.

Final results

\"I have found interesting results implying the existence of structures (\"\"spectral flows\"\") predicted by physics in categories of matrix factorizations. Jointly with my PhD student, I have developed an algorithmic approach that will help finding further equivalences in this setting. Last but not least, I also have made progress towards getting a clear understanding of the higher categorical structures lying behind this correspondence.\"
