Constructing modular categories from orbifold data
Abstract
In Carqueville et al., arXiv:1809.01483, the notion of an orbifold datum in a modular fusion category was introduced as part of a generalised orbifold construction for Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs. In this paper, given a simple orbifold datum in , we introduce a ribbon category and show that it is again a modular fusion category. The definition of is motivated by properties of Wilson lines in the generalised orbifold. We analyse two examples in detail: (i) when is given by a simple commutative -separable Frobenius algebra in ; (ii) when is an orbifold datum in , built from a spherical fusion category . We show that in case (i), is ribbon-equivalent to the category of local modules of , and in case (ii), to the Drinfeld centre of . The category thus unifies these two constructions into a single algebraic setting.
