Line and surface defects in Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT
Nils Carqueville, Ingo Runkel, Gregor Schaumann
A modular tensor category gives rise to a Reshetikhin-Turaev type topological quantum field theory which is defined on 3-dimensional bordisms with embedded $\mathcal{…

Introductory lectures on topological quantum field theory
Nils Carqueville, Ingo Runkel
These notes offer a lightening introduction to topological quantum field theory in its functorial axiomatisation, assuming no or little prior exposure. We lay some emphasis on the…

Orbifolds of n-dimensional defect TQFTs
Nils Carqueville, Ingo Runkel, Gregor Schaumann
We introduce the notion of -dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT) with defects as a symmetric monoidal functor on decorated stratified bordisms of dimension . T…
