Constructing the 0- and 1-Dimensional Part of a Segal Chiral CFT from Conformal Nets
Nivedita
((Mathematical Institute University of Oxford))
Abstract
Two-dimensional unitary chiral conformal field theories (CFTs) admit three distinct mathematical formulations: unitary vertex operator algebras (uVOAs), conformal nets, and Segal (functorial) chiral CFTs. With the aim of building fully extended Segal chiral CFTs from the data of a conformal net, we give the assignment to points and 1-dimensional cobordisms. We assign the category of solitonic representations of the net to a point and bimodule categories to intervals, and discuss the functoriality of the assignment under gluing of 0- and 1-dimensional cobordisms.

The UKRI funded national mentoring scheme for early career researchers in mathematics, statistics and computer science that identify as LGBTQ+ is looking for mentees and mentors.
The scheme will run from May to October, starting with a training session on Wednesday 27th May 2026 to help get started. We expect that the mentoring partnership will run for 6 months with 3 (virtual) meetings suggested.
