abstract

We give a complete classification of topological field theories with reflection structure and spin-statistics in one and two spacetime dimensions. Our answers can be naturally expressed in terms of an internal fermionic symmetry group $G$ which is different from the spacetime structure group. Fermionic groups encode symmetries of systems with fermions and time reversing symmetries. We show that 1-dimensional topological field theories with reflection structure and spin-statistics are classified by finite dimensional hermitian representations of $G$. In spacetime dimension two we give a classification in terms strongly $G$-graded stellar Frobenius algebras. Our proofs are based on the cobordism hypothesis. Along the way, we develop some useful tools for the computation of homotopy fixed points of 2-group actions on bicategories.

  1. Topological defects in reflection positive topological field theories

    math-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A reflection-positive two-dimensional defect TQFT gives its defect bicategory an O(2)-dagger structure, and with positivity a structure close to a 3-Hilbert space.
