My research is in mathematical physics around two-dimensional conformal field theories, vertex operator algebras and their various exciting applications. These range from string theory, quantum gravity and quantum field theory to topology, geometry, number theory, tensor categories and representation theory. The current exciting development are 2d/4d correspondences where representation theory of the chiral algebras, that is the vertex operator algebras, of two-dimensional conformal field theories appear as rich invariants of four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theories.
