Higher algebraic and categorical structures from two-dimensional conformal field theory

二维共形场理论的研究与高阶表示理论和高阶范畴理论的发展有着丰富的互动关系。我们建议研究由2DCFT的最新发展引起的一些主题，这些主题不仅本身很有趣，而且有助于提供对一般理论的见解：(A)更高的么半范畴和更高的辫子(B)广义弦-网结构和派生的模函数(C)双范畴的圆柱体范畴、范畴化迹和拓扑圈同调

The study of two-dimensional conformal field theories has rich interactions with the developments of higher representation and higher category theories. We propose to study some topics arising from recent developments in 2d CFT that not only are interesting in their own right but also help to provide insights into the general theory: (a) Higher monoidal categories and higher braidings (b) Generalized string-net constructions and derived modular functors (c) Cylinder categories, categorified traces, and topological cyclic homology of bicategories
