"Crossed products and Morita equivalence"

The talk will consist of three parts. Firstly, we will establish some basic notions of crossed product $C^*$-algebras, with a focus on the irrational rotation algebras.

"Factorization Algebras from Quantum Field Theory"

I will survey the construction of factorization algebras, a type of algebraic-topological data on a space, using methods from quantum field theory, following the work of Kevin Costello and Owen Gwilliam.
