Abstract
This talk is focused on the descriptive power of the category theory. After reviewing the illuminating history of irrational numbers, we make sense of the direct sum of two anyons in terms of functors. At the end of this talk, we will announce a mathematical definition of topological orders and other quantum liquid phases.
Speaker Intro
Hao Zheng received his Ph.D. from Peking University in 2005, and then taught at Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University, Southern University of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University. Research directions include low-dimensional topology, representation theory, mathematical physics, etc. The main research achievements involve the representation and application of braided groups, the partial proof of the knot volume conjecture, the categorization of quantum group representations, the functoriality of the centers of fused categories, the centers of enriched categories, the classification of topologically ordered gapless boundaries, and high-dimensional topology Ordinal classification, high-dimensional fusion category theory, etc. He won the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award in 2007.
