We prove the $r$-spin cobordism hypothesis in the setting of (weak) 2-categories for every positive integer $r$: The 2-groupoid of 2-dimensional fully extended $r$-spin TQFTs with given target is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of an induced $textrm{Spin}_2^r$-action. In particular, such TQFTs are classified by fully dualisable objects together with a trivialisation of the $r$-th power of their Serre automorphisms. For $r=1$ we recover the oriented case (on which our proof builds), while ordinary spin structures correspond to $r=2$. To construct examples, we explicitly describe $textrm{Spin}_2^r$-homotopy fixed points in the equivariant completion of any symmetric monoidal 2-category. We also show that every object in a 2-category of Landau--Ginzburg models gives rise to fully extended spin TQFTs, and that half of these do not factor through the oriented bordism 2-category.
We define a large new class of conformal primary operators in the ensemble of Brownian loops in two dimensions known as the ``Brownian loop soup, and compute their correlation functions analytically and in closed form. The loop soup is a conformally invariant statistical ensemble with central charge $c = 2 lambda$, where $lambda > 0$ is the intensity of the soup. Previous work identified exponentials of the layering operator $e^{i beta N(z)}$ as primary operators. Each Brownian loop was assigned $pm 1$ randomly, and $N(z)$ was defined to be the sum of these numbers over all loops that encircle the point $z$. These exponential operators then have conformal dimension ${frac{lambda}{10}}(1 - cos beta)$. Here we generalize this procedure by assigning a more general random value to each loop. The operator $e^{i beta N(z)}$ remains primary with conformal dimension $frac {lambda}{10}(1 - phi(beta))$, where $phi(beta)$ is the characteristic function of the probability distribution used to assign random values to each loop. Using recent results we compute in closed form the exact two-point functions in the upper half-plane and four-point functions in the full plane of this very general class of operators. These correlation functions depend analytically on the parameters $lambda, beta_i, z_i$, and on the characteristic function $phi(beta)$. They satisfy the conformal Ward identities and are crossing symmetric. As in previous work, the conformal block expansion of the four-point function reveals the existence of additional and as-yet uncharacterized conformal primary operators.
Given a simply connected manifold M such that its cochain algebra, C^star(M), is a pure Sullivan dga, this paper considers curved deformations of the algebra C_star({Omega}M) and consider when the category of curved modules over these algebras becomes fully dualizable. For simple manifolds, like products of spheres, we are able to give an explicit criterion for when the resulting category of curved modules is smooth, proper and CY and thus gives rise to a TQFT. We give Floer theoretic interpretations of these theories for projective spaces and their products, which involve defining a Fukaya category which counts holomorphic disks with prescribed tangencies to a divisor.
We provide an algebraic formulation of C.Rovellis relational quantum theory that is based on suitable notions of non-commutative higher operator categories, originally developed in the study of categorical non-commutative geometry. As a way to implement C.Rovellis original intuition on the relational origin of space-time, in the context of our proposed algebraic approach to quantum gravity via Tomita-Takesaki modular theory, we tentatively suggest to use this categorical formalism in order to spectrally reconstruct non-commutative relational space-time geometries from categories of correlation bimodules between operator algebras of observables.

The fully compressible semi-geostrophic system is widely used in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this paper, we prove rigorously the existence of weak Lagrangian solutions of this system, formulated in the original physical coordinates. In addition, we provide an alternative proof of the earlier result on the existence of weak solutions of this system expressed in the so-called geostrophic, or dual, coordinates. The proofs are based on the optimal transport formulation of the problem and on recent general results concerning transport problems posed in the Wasserstein space of probability measures.
