Correlators from String Nets

  • First Online:
String-Net Construction of RCFT Correlators

Abstract

This chapter contains our central construction, the one of string-net correlators, as defined in Definition 3.26. The chief result—Theorem 3.28—states that the construction does provide a consistent system of correlators.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Strictly speaking, \(\textrm{col}_V(v)\) is not an element of the morphism space shown in (3.2), but rather in the space that is obtained as a limit over all linear orders compatible with the cyclic order, analogously as in (A.42). By abuse of notation, we suppress this issue.
