Open Verlinde line operators
arXiv:1404.0332
Abstract
We reformulate the action of Verlinde line operators on conformal blocks in a 3d TFT language and extend it to line operators labelled by open paths joining punctures on the Riemann surface. We discuss the possible applications of open Verlinde line operators to quantum Teichmüller theory, supersymmetric gauge theory and quantum groups
