Towards reconstruction of finite tensor categories

Quantum Algebra 2025-01-28 v2

Abstract

We take a first step towards a reconstruction of finite tensor categories using finitely many FF-matrices. The goal is to reconstruct a finite tensor category from its projective ideal. Here we set up the framework for an important concrete example--the 88-dimensional Nicholas Hopf algebra K2K_2. Of particular importance is to determine its Green ring and tensor ideals. The Hopf algebra K2K_2 allows the recovery of (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional Seiberg-Witten TQFT from Hennings TQFT based on K2K_2. This powerful result convinced us that it is interesting to study the Green ring of K2K_2 and its tensor ideals in more detail. Our results clearly illustrate the difficulties arisen from the proliferation of non-projective reducible indecomposable objects in finite tensor categories.
