TQFTs from Non-Semisimple Modular Categories and Modified Traces - Marco de Renzi

This lecture series aims to explain how to construct a Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) using non-semisimple modular categories and modified traces. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of topological invariants and representations of mapping class groups with new properties. The course teaches the skills of constructing TQFTs, utilizing non-semisimple modular categories, and applying the theory of modified traces. The teaching method involves theoretical explanations and examples. This course is intended for mathematicians, researchers, and students interested in algebra, topology, and quantum field theories.
