Outlook: Universal Correlators

  • First Online:
String-Net Construction of RCFT Correlators

Abstract

It can happen that two world sheets with different defect networks and thus different defect patterns—that is, assignments of labels to the cells of the world sheet—turn out to have the same correlator. Existing approaches to correlators, including the string-net construction considered in the previous chapters, treat such world sheets as different even though they cannot be distinguished by their correlators.
