Freed–Hopkins classification conjecture for reflection-positive invertible QFTs
Let be a tangential structure, and let denote the Brown–Comenetz dual of the sphere. Write for the corresponding generalized cohomology theory, and let be the spacetime dimension. A Freed–Hopkins classification conjecture asserts that deformation classes of reflection-positive invertible -dimensional fully extended field theories with symmetry type are in one-to-one correspondence with
This conjecture proposes a generalized-cohomological classification of invertible topological QFTs and, consequently, of anomalies. The symmetry types in the original Freed–Hopkins formulation satisfy additional conditions beyond the tangential structures described here; the general status of the proposed classification is not resolved in the supplied source.
