Quantum representations of mapping class groups and braid groups
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Shuang Ming, UC Davis |

A (2+1)D topological quantum field theory determines, for each surface \Sigma_{g, b}, a projective representation for its mapping class group M_{g, b}. In today's talk, I will define this representation and discuss some properties of this representation(irreducibility, (in)finiteness, denseness).
