Factorization algebra
In mathematics and mathematical physics, a factorization algebra is an algebraic structure first introduced by Beilinson and Drinfel'd in an algebro-geometric setting as a reformulation of chiral algebras and applied in a more general setting by Costello and Gwilliam to formalize quantum field theory.
