Lattice Conformal Blocks and Topological Phases — •Roberto Bondesan — THP, Cologne, Germany

Conformal blocks are holomorphic building blocks of correlation functions of 2D conformal field theories. The Moore-Read approach relates these objects to the ground state wave functions in the fractional quantum Hall effect. In this talk I will present a lattice perspective on this approach. In particular I will discuss how to use vertex models of statistical mechanics to achieve a tensor network states description of strongly interacting chiral topological phases.
