Verlinde algebra is a mathematical structure that arises in the context of conformal field theory and, more broadly, in the study of 2-dimensional topological quantum field theory. It is named after Erik Verlinde, who introduced it in the context of the study of the representation theory of certain algebraic structures that appear in these physical theories, particularly in relation to modular forms and the theory of strings.
