Explore the relationship between injective ground states of gapped Hamiltonians and topological quantum field theory (TQFT) in this 50-minute lecture. Review the development of TQFT and topological orders, and discover a conceptual connection between TQFT and constructive quantum field theory. Delve into the major open question surrounding the description of this relationship and gain insights into its potential answers.
