Abstract

In Mulevi\v{c}ius-Runkel, arXiv:2002.00663, it was shown how a so-called orbifold datum A\mathbb{A} in a given modular fusion category (MFC) C\mathcal{C} produces a new MFC CA\mathcal{C}_{\mathbb{A}}. Examples of these associated MFCs include condensations, i.e. the categories CB\mathcal{C}_B^\circ of local modules of a separable commutative algebra BCB\in\mathcal{C}. In this paper we prove that the relation CCA\mathcal{C} \sim \mathcal{C}_{\mathbb{A}} on MFCs is the same as Witt equivalence. This is achieved in part by providing one with an explicit construction for inverting condensations, i.e. finding an orbifold datum A\mathbb{A} in CB\mathcal{C}_B^\circ whose associated MFC is equivalent to C\mathcal{C}. As a tool used in this construction we also explore what kinds of functors F ⁣:CDF\colon\mathcal{C}\rightarrow\mathcal{D} between MFCs preserve orbifold data. It turns out that FF need not necessarily be strong monoidal, but rather a `ribbon Frobenius' functor, which has weak monoidal and weak comonoidal structures, related by a Frobenius-like property.
