Venue: Seminar Room SPS, JNU

 

Abstract: I will discuss recent developments on the potential relationship between Conformal Field Theory and Associative Algebras such as the Affine Temperley-Lieb Algebra. The first part of the talk will be more physical in nature, and discuss, in particular, lattice models and quantum spin chains. The second part will be more mathematical, and will focus on the question of “fusion” in the Affine Temperley-Lieb Algebra. We will try to make the initial part of the talk accessible to a wider audience
