QM Meeting room (Ø10-401-1)
Abstract: The orbifold construction is a procedure that constructs new QFTs from old ones given a particular algebraic input. I will review aspects of the construction in the most well-understood case of TQFTs, where we think of the construction as gauging discrete symmetries, and then I will present a framework that algorithmically generates the required algebraic data called bistellar data. The benefit of the framework is that it gives an immediate description of the algebraic data in any dimension, as well as a description of bistellar bimodules and all further higher cells, which should describe the symmetries of the new theory.
