Classification of charge-conserving loop braid representations

Quantum Algebra 2023-02-28 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

Here a loop braid representation is a monoidal functor F\mathsf{F} from the loop braid category L\mathsf{L} to a suitable target category, and is NN-charge-conserving if that target is the category MatchN\mathsf{Match}^N of charge-conserving matrices (specifically MatchN\mathsf{Match}^N is the same rank-NN charge-conserving monoidal subcategory of the monoidal category Mat\mathsf{Mat} used to classify braid representations in arXiv:2112.04533) with F\mathsf{F} strict, and surjective on N\mathbb{N}, the object monoid. We classify and construct all such representations. In particular we prove that representations fall into varieties indexed by a set in bijection with the set of pairs of plane partitions of total degree NN.
