Existence of the $AH+2$ subfactor

Operator Algebras 2015-12-09 v1

Abstract

We give two different proofs of the existence of the AH+2AH+2 subfactor, which is a 33-supertransitive self-dual subfactor with index 9+172\frac{9+\sqrt{17}}{2} . The first proof is a direct construction using connections on graphs and intertwiner calculus for bimodule categories. The second proof is indirect, and deduces the existence of AH+2AH+2 from a recent alternative construction of the Asaeda-Haagerup subfactor and fusion combinatorics of the Brauer-Picard groupoid.
