Fusion Rules for $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ Permutation Gauging

Quantum Algebra 2020-01-08 v3

Abstract

In this note, we examine the gauging of the Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} permutation action on the tensor square of a modular tensor category. When C\mathcal{C} has no nontrivial invertible objects, we provide formulas for the fusion rules of both the extensions, expressed in terms of the fusion rules of C\mathcal{C}, and the subsequent equivariantizations, which additionally requires the modular data of C\mathcal{C}. We discuss several examples related to quantum groups at roots of unity.
