Abstract: It is known that the holographic principle relate TQFT and CFT in some way. If you get rid of all physics-related stuff, locally the statement is known as the KL correspondence. In my talk I try to motivate why such a connection should follow from the representation theory. Most of the time I will explain concepts by drawing pictures and using linear algebra.
