Classification of simple commutative algebras in the Delannoy category

Representation Theory 2026-05-19 v2

Abstract

The Delannoy category is an interesting pre-Tannakian category associated to the oligomorphic group G\mathbb{G} of automorphisms of the totally ordered set (R,<)(\mathbf{R}, <). By construction, it admits some obvious simple commutative algebras, corresponding to certain transitive G\mathbb{G}-sets. We show that these account for all of the simple commutative algebras in the Delannoy category. Previous results of this kind have been limited to interpolation categories; since the Delannoy category cannot be obtained by interpolation, new methods are required.
