 | From 3D TQFTs to 4D models with defects Speaker(s): Bianca Dittrich
Abstract: I will explain a general strategy to lift (2+1)D topological phases, in particular string nets, to (3+1)D models with line defects. This allows a systematic construction of (3+1)D topological theories with defects, including an improved version of the Walker-Wang Model. It has also an interesting ap... read more

 | Constructing Quantum Spacetime Speaker(s): Bianca Dittrich
Abstract: General relativity taught us that space time is dynamical and quantum theory posits that dynamical objects are quantum. Hence the Newtonian notion of space time as a passive stage where physics takes place needs to be replaced by a notion of quantum space time which is interacting with all other qua... read more

 | Self-dual quantum geometries and four-dimensional TQFTs with defects Speaker(s): Bianca Dittrich
Abstract: We apply the recently suggested strategy to lift state spaces and operators for (2+1)-dimensional topological quantum field theories to state spaces and operators for a (3+1)-dimensional TQFT with defects. We start from the (2+1)-dimensional Turaev-Viro theory and obtain a state space, consistent wi... read more

 | Quantum Space Time Engineering Speaker(s): Bianca Dittrich
Abstract: Modern physics rests on two basic frameworks, quantum theory and general relativity. Quantum gravity aims to unify these two frameworks into one consistent theory. One can expect that such a formulation delivers in particular a novel understanding of space and time as quantum objects.
I will give... read more
