Abstract N = 2 supersymmetric conformal field theories reveal a connection between Landau-Ginzburg (LG) theories and CFTs. Mathematically, this suggests equivalences between certain tensor categories of matrix factorizations and certain tensor categories of VOA modules. In this talk, I will explain some notions required to understand this conjecture and outline some results that I have learned.
