Abstract
We reprove the classical Tannaka-Krein reconstruction theorem by finding a monoidal equivalence of categories between a 1-truncated sub-2-category of the slice 2-category and the category of algebras. We then immediately generalize this approach to find a monoidal equivalence of 2-categories between a 2-truncated sub-3-category of the slice 3-category and the category of algebras. As an immediate consequence, a finite semisimple 2-Hopf algebra can be recovered from its fusion 2-category of modules together with the monoidal fiber 2-functor to . Moreover, every fusion 2-category equipped with a monoidal functor to is of this form.
