On Fusion Categories IV

This is the sequel of the course "On Fusion Categories III" given last semester. It introduces to the notion fusion category, which can be seen as a representation theory of the (finite) quantum symmetries. It follows the book "Tensor Categories" mentioned in References. The notes and videos of the previous parts are available at:

Part I: http://www.bimsa.cn/newsinfo/526244.html

Part II: https://www.bimsa.cn/newsinfo/601271.html

Part III: https://www.bimsa.cn/newsinfo/749627.html

If you did not attend the previous semesters, you can still attend this one because the course will start by a review of the previous parts.

修课要求

It should be helpful to be a bit familiar with the general category theory, the finite group theory and the representation theory, but it is not necessary to follow the course.
