Generalized Symmetries From Fusion Actions
Abstract
Let be a condensable algebra in a modular tensor category . We define an action of the fusion category of -modules in on the morphism space for any in , whose characters are generalized Frobenius-Schur indicators. This fusion action can be considered on , and we prove a categorical generalization of the Schur-Weyl duality for this action. For any fusion subcategory of containing all the local -modules, we prove the invariant subobject is a condensable subalgebra of . The assignment of to defines a Galois correspondence between this kind of fusion subcategories of and the condensable subalgebras of . In the context of VOAs, we prove for any nice VOAs , where is the category of -modules. In particular, if for some finite automorphism group of the fusion action of on is equivalent to the -action on
