Clifford theory for graded fusion categories

Quantum Algebra 2011-06-28 v3

Abstract

We develop a categorical analogue of Clifford theory for strongly graded rings over graded fusion categories. We describe module categories over a fusion category graded by a group GG as induced from module categories over fusion subcategories associated with the subgroups of GG. We define invariant \Ce\C_e-module categories and extensions of \Ce\C_e-module categories. The construction of module categories over \C\C is reduced to determine invariant module categories for subgroups of GG and the indecomposable extensions of this modules categories. We associate a GG-crossed product fusion category to each GG-invariant \Ce\C_e-module category and give a criterion for a graded fusion category to be a group-theoretical fusion category. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an indecomposable module category to be extended.
