Villamayor-Zelinsky sequence for symmetric finite tensor categories

Quantum Algebra 2019-02-19 v3

Abstract

We prove that if a finite tensor category \C\C is symmetric, then the monoidal category of one-sided \C\C-bimodule categories is symmetric. Consequently, the Picard group of \C\C (the subgroup of the Brauer-Picard group introduced by Etingov-Nikshych-Gelaki) is abelian in this case. We then introduce a cohomology over such \C\C. An important piece of tool for this construction is the computation of dual objects for bimodule categories and the fact that for invertible one-sided \C\C-bimodule categories the evaluation functor involved is an equivalence, being the coevaluation functor its quasi-inverse, as we show. Finally, we construct an infinite exact sequence a la Villamayor-Zelinsky for \C\C. It consists of the corresponding cohomology groups evaluated at three types of coefficients which repeat periodically in the sequence.

Basically Section 5 is updated, making the construction of the cohomology groups more rigorous
