We propose a new mwthod of constructing 4D-TQFTs. The method uses a new type of algebraic structure called a Hopf Category. We also outline the construction of a family of Hopf categories related to the quantum groups, using the canonical bases.

  1. Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows in 2D CFTs exhibit unusual ordering via spontaneous breaking of non-group-like symmetries and are characterized using smeared boundary CFTs applied to smeared Ishibashi states.

  2. Infinite Dimensional Topological-Holomorphic Symmetry in Three-Dimensions

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 3D QFT is defined with infinite-dimensional topological-holomorphic symmetry from a centrally extended affine graded Lie algebra, yielding a raviolo vertex algebra for its local operators after radial quantization.

  3. Categorical quantum symmetries and ribbon tensor 2-categories

    math-ph 2025-01 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper constructs ribbon balancing data and framing levels for 2Rep(U_q G), making it a candidate ribbon tensor 2-category, and recovers strict pivotality in the classical limit q=1.
