Abstract
The character plays an important role in the representation theory of finite groups. In this talk, I will introduce the notion of 2-character of 2-representations of a finite 2-group G. The conjugation invariance implies that the 2-characters can be viewed as objects in the Drinfeld center Z1(VecG). I will also introduce a topological quantum field theory (TQFT) point of view on the 2-characters and show that they are Lagrangian algebras in Z1(VecG). Finally, I will discuss the orthogonality of 2-characters, which categorifies the classical orthogonality of characters. This talk is based on arXiv: 2305.18151 and 2404.01162, joint with Hao Xu and Zhi-Hao Zhang.
