On Integrality of SO(n)-Level 2 TQFTs

Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mathematics.
In this thesis, we study properties of the TQFT associated to the modular category SO(p)-level 2 for an odd prime p. We compute the associated representation of the central extension of the mapping class group of the surface of genus one with one boundary component specialized at a simple object a of SO(p)-level 2. Let ζ be a primitive p-th root of unity. We show that for each a, there exists a full-rank free lattice over the ring of integers Z[ζ, i] inside the genus 1 specialized space at a that is preserved by the extended mapping class group action. We also show that for each a, the image of the extended mapping class group representation is finite. Finally, we relate the representations to the Weil representation over finite fields.
