SUMMARY:Liouville conformal blocks and Stokes Phenomena - Babak Haghighat 
 (Tsinghua University)

DESCRIPTION:In this talk we present braid group representations and Stokes
  matrices for Liouville conformal blocks with one irregular operator. By e
 mploying the Coulomb gas formalism\, the corresponding conformal blocks ca
 n be interpreted as wavefunctions of a Landau-Ginzburg model specified by 
 a superpotential W. Alternatively\, these can also be viewed as wavefuncti
 ons of a 3d TQFT on a 3-ball with boundary a 2-sphere on which the operato
 r insertions represent Anyons whose fusion rules describe novel topologica
 l phases of matter.
