Abstract
The study of Lagrangian algebras and local modules within the realm of braided 1-categories constitutes a pivotal undertaking for the classification of 2+1d topological orders. This presentation elucidates my ongoing collaborative research project, jointly with Thibault Décoppet, on generalizing local modules and Lagrangian algebras to braided 2-categories. There will be three parts: 1) motivations from physics, 2) an explication of data required to define local modules and Lagrangian algebras in 2-categories, 3) discussions about pertinent examples and significant outcomes.
