Description for Tensor Categories
Paperback. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 344 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152. .
Is there a vector space whose dimension is the golden ratio? Of course not-the golden ratio is not an integer! But this can happen for generalizations of vector spaces-objects of a tensor category. The theory of tensor categories is a relatively new field of mathematics that generalizes the theory of group representations. It has deep connections with many other fields, including representation theory, Hopf algebras, operator algebras, low-dimensional topology (in particular, knot theory), homotopy theory, quantum mechanics and field theory, quantum computation, theory of motives, etc. This book gives a systematic introduction to this theory and a review of its ...

Reviews for Tensor Categories
...this book is certainly a must-have for any researcher working in tensor categories or a related field, and is already the standard reference in the subject." - Julien Bichon, AMS Blogs
