Reflection Structures and Spin Statistics in Low Dimensions
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We give a complete classification of topological field theories with reflection structure and spin-statistics in one and two spacetime dimensions. Our answers can be naturally expressed in terms of an internal fermionic symmetry group which is different from the spacetime structure group. Fermionic groups encode symmetries of systems with fermions and time reversing symmetries. We show that 1-dimensional topological field theories with reflection structure and spin-statistics are classified by finite dimensional hermitian representations of . In spacetime dimension two we give a classification in terms strongly -graded stellar Frobenius algebras. Our proofs are based on the cobordism hypothesis. Along the way, we develop some useful tools for the computation of homotopy fixed points of 2-group actions on bicategories.
