From finite state automata to tangle cobordisms: a TQFT journey from one to four dimensions
Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov
This is a brief introduction to link homology theories that categorify Reshetikhin--Turaev -quantum link invariants. A recently discovered surprising connection bet…

Universal construction in monoidal and non-monoidal settings, the Brauer envelope, and pseudocharacters
Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov, Victor Ostrik
This paper clarifies basic definitions in the universal construction of topological theories and monoidal categories. The definition of the universal construction is given for vari…

Automata and one-dimensional TQFTs with defects
Paul Gustafson, Mee Seong Im, Remy Kaldawy +2
This paper explains how any nondeterministic automaton for a regular language gives rise to a one-dimensional oriented Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) with inner endpoi…
