The Hermitian axiom on two-dimensional topological quantum field theories

We examine Atiyah’s Hermitian axiom for two-dimensional complex topological quantum field theories. Building on the correspondence between 2D topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and Frobenius algebras, we find the algebraic objects corresponding to Hermitian and unitary TQFTs, respectively, a...
