Abstract
Modular tensor categories (MTCs) are finite tensor categories giving interesting SL(2,Z) representations. They can be viewed as generalizations of quadratic forms and their Weil representations. In this talk, I will give a quick introduction to MTCs, and briefly explain how, via the congruence property and Galois symmetry of the associated SL(2,Z) representations, basic algebraic number theory appears in the study of MTCs.
