In this talk we present braid group representations and Stokes matrices for Liouville conformal blocks with one irregular operator. By employing the Coulomb gas formalism, the corresponding conformal blocks can be interpreted as wavefunctions of a Landau-Ginzburg model specified by a superpotential W. Alternatively, these can also be viewed as wavefunctions of a 3d TQFT on a 3-ball with boundary a 2-sphere on which the operator insertions represent Anyons whose fusion rules describe novel topological phases of matter.

This talk is part of the Theory of Condensed Matter series.
