Modular quasi-Hopf algebras and groups with one involution
Abstract
In a previous paper the authors constructed a class of quasi-Hopf algebras associated to a finite group , generalizing the twisted quantum double construction. We gave necessary and sufficient conditions, cohomological in nature, that the corresponding module category is a modular tensor category.\ In the present paper we verify the cohomological conditions for the class of groups which \emph{contain a unique involution}, and in this way we obtain an explicit construction of a new class of modular quasi-Hopf algebras.\ We develop the basic theory for general finite groups , and also a parallel theory concerned with the question of when is super-modular rather than modular. We give some explicit examples involving binary polyhedral groups and some sporadic simple groups.
