> Title: On the classification of modular categories.
> 
> Abstract:
> Modular categories are intricate organizing algebraic structures
> appearing in a variety of mathematical subjects including topological
> quantum field theory, conformal field theory, representation theory of
> quantum groups, von Neumann algebras, and vertex operator algebras.
> They are fusion categories with additional braiding and pivotal
> structures satisfying a non- degeneracy condition. The problem of
> classifying modular categories is motivated by applications to
> topological quantum computation as algebraic models for topological
> phases of matter.
> 
> In this talk, we will start by introducing some of the basic
> definitions and properties of fusion, braided, and modular categories,
> and we will also give some concrete examples to have a better
> understanding of their structures. I will give an overview of the
> current situation of the classification program for modular
> categories, with a particular focus on the results for odd-dimensional
> modular categories, and we will mention some open directions in this
> field.
