Details

The course will be an introduction to mathematical aspects of Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) with focus on 2-dimensional TQFTs.

We will cover the following topics:

Atiyah's axioms of a TQFT
Dijkgraaf's classification of 2-dimensional TQFTs in terms of Frobenius algebras
the Fukuma-Hosono-Kawai state sum construction of 2-dimensional TQFTs
Moore-Segal's open-closed 2-dimensional TQFTs and their classification
Homotopy Quantum Field Theories (HQFTs)
classification of 2-dimensional HQFTs in terms of crossed Frobenius algebras
applications of 2-dimensional HQFTs to certain enumeration problems on surfaces.
