Abstract

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of D(G)\mathcal{D}(G) explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all braidings with which the tensor category Rep(D(G))\operatorname{Rep}(\mathcal{D}(G)) can be endowed. We also characterize their equivalence classes under the action of Aut(D(G))\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{D}(G)) and determine when they are factorizable.
