Title: Reconstructing chiral CFTs/VOAs from 2D TQFTs/MTCs
Abstract: Inspired by the bulk-edge relation of 2D topological phases of matter and Tannaka-Krein duality, we consider the reconstruction of chiral CFTs, mathematically vertex operator algebras (VOAs), from their representation categories---modular tensor categories (MTCs).
