I've been looking into CFTs and link invariants a lot recently, since I've been working with another prof who's trying to use non-perturbative methods such as the AdS/CFT correspondence to study strongly-correlated systems of fermions in condensed matter.
The link invariants could be used to construct representations of quantum braid groups, which can be understood as correlation functions in some CFT. This may also shed some light regarding the unification of the braid group and principal bundle approaches to quantum particle statistics.
Also I totally quit smoking for like 3 weeks rofl

Don't worry I do cardio so they cancel out like [math]\text{smoking}\otimes \text{cardio} \sim 1_V[/math].

Everyone I know who works with field theories is a total sperg.

you can already find faithful representations, e.g. krammers representations using the action of a braid group on the homology of certain covering spaces. you can even explicitly caluclate the matrices.

I changed my major to CS so that I can have better job opportunities

bein happy
