This is part of a project on "Higher defect state sum models" that involves both conceptual aspects of topological quantum field theories in general, and also applications in dimensions 2, 3 and 4. A key method is the orbifold construction summarised e.g. in arXiv:2307.16674 [math-ph].
To apply for the position, the following documents should be sent to nils.carqueville@univie.ac.at:
- research statement
- CV
- cover letter that briefly summarises your previous contact with TQFT, and when you would prefer to start the job
- at least two recommendation letters
The initial application deadline is September 1st.
