Reconstruction of tensor categories from their structure invariants
Abstract
In this paper, we study tensor (or monoidal) categories of finite rank over an algebraically closed field . Given a tensor category , we have two structure invariants of : the Green ring (or the representation ring) and the Auslander algebra of . We show that a Krull-Schmit abelian tensor category of finite rank is uniquely determined (up to tensor equivalences) by its two structure invariants and the associated associator system of . In fact, we can reconstruct the tensor category from its two invarinats and the associator system. More general, given a quadruple satisfying certain conditions, where is a -ring of rank , is a finite dimensional -algebra with a complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents, is an algebra map from to an algebra constructed from and , and is a family of "invertible" matrices over , we can construct a Krull-Schmidt and abelian tensor category over such that is the Green ring of and is the Auslander algebra of . In this case, has finitely many indecomposable objects (up to isomorphisms) and finite dimensional Hom-spaces. Moreover, we will give a necessary and sufficient condition for such two tensor categories to be tensor equivalent.
