Abstract

For a finite group GG, a GG-crossed braided fusion category is GG-graded fusion category with additional structures, namely a GG-action and a GG-braiding. We develop the notion of GG-crossed braided zesting: an explicit method for constructing new GG-crossed braided fusion categories from a given one by means of cohomological data associated with the invertible objects in the category and grading group GG. This is achieved by adapting a similar construction for (braided) fusion categories recently described by the authors. All GG-crossed braided zestings of a given category C\mathcal{C} are GG-extensions of their trivial component and can be interpreted in terms of the homotopy-based description of Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik. In particular, we explicitly describe which GG-extensions correspond to GG-crossed braided zestings.
