Speaker(s):

Recent years have seen spectacular application of techniques from topological field theory to condensed matter physics. Topological field theory has traditionally been a topic of common interest of mathematicians and high-energy theorists. This workshop will bring together experts from the the condensed matter, high-energy theory and mathematics communities to discuss recent developments. Topics of particular interest include the classification of symmetry-protected topological phases of matter, the study of SPT phases with fermions, and the application of categorical aspects of TFT to condensed matter.
