Abstract As put forward in [1] topological quantum field theories can be projected using so-called projection defects. The projected theory and its correlation functions can be completely realized within the unprojected one. An interesting example is the case of topological quantum field theories associated to IR fixed points of renormalization group flows, which by this method can be realized inside the theories associated to the UV. In this note we show that projection defects in triangulated defect categories (such as defects in 2d topologically twisted $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) theories) always come with complementary projection defects, and that the unprojected theory decomposes into the theories associated to the two projection defects. We demonstrate this in the context of Landau-Ginzburg orbifold theories.

We derive a general state sum construction for 2D topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) with source defects on oriented curves, extending the state-sum construction from special symmetric Frobenius algebra for 2D TQFTs without defects (cf. Lauda and Pfeiffer [State-sum construction of two-dimensional open-closed topological quantum field theories, J. Knot Theory Ramifications 16 (2007) 1121–1163, doi: 10.1142/S0218216507005725]). From the extended Pachner moves (Crane and Yetter [Moves on filtered PL manifolds and stratified PL spaces, arXiv:1404.3142 ]), we derive equations that we subsequently translate into string diagrams so that we can easily observe their properties. As in Dougherty, Park and Yetter [On 2-dimensional Dijkgraaf–Witten theory with defects, to appear in J. Knots Theory Ramifications], we require that triangulations be flaglike, meaning that each simplex of the triangulation is either disjoint from the defect curve, or intersects it in a closed face, and that the extended Pachner moves preserve flaglikeness.

This is a brief review of my work on the correspondence between four-dimensional [Formula: see text] supersymmetric field theories realized by brane tilings and two-dimensional integrable lattice models. I explain how to construct integrable lattice models from extended operators in partially topological quantum field theories, and elucidate the correspondence as an application of this construction.
