The cobordism hypothesis classifies extended topological quantum
field theories (TQFTs) in terms of algebraic information in the target
category. One of the core principles in quantum field theory - unitarity -
says that state spaces are not just vector spaces, but Hilbert spaces.
Recently in joint work with many others, we have defined unitarity for
extended TQFTs, inspired by Freed and Hopkins. Our main technical tool is a
higher-categorical version of dagger categories; categories $C$ equipped

Representations of $p$-adic groups and affine Hecke algebras

MPI-Oberseminar

The representation theories of $p$-adic groups and affine Hecke algebras are closely related. In this talk, I will explore how the representation theory of affine Hecke algebras provides valuable tools for studying the representations of $p$-adic groups, with a particular emphasis on the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2$.

Jacobi forms and modular differential equations

Number theory lunch seminar

The Serre derivative is a differential operator that maps modular forms of weight $k$ to modular forms of weight $k+2$. One can study differential equations with respect to this differential operator. Some examples of such equations are the Ramanujan system of differential equations and the Kaneko-Zagier equation. A similar construction takes place in the case of Jacobi forms. In my talk I will discuss differential equations of Jacobi forms and some applications related to the elliptic genus of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
