For any finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ we construct a group homomorphism $\biga(H)\to \text{BrPic}(\Rep(H))$, from the group of equivalence classes of $H$-biGalois objects to the group of equivalence classes of invertible exact…

A tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$ is said to be invertible if there's a tensor category $\mathcal{D}$ such that $\mathcal{C}\boxtimes\mathcal{D}$ is Morita equivalent to $\mathrm{Vec}_{\mathbb{K}}$. When $\mathbb{K}$…

We give an alternative presentation of braided monoidal categories. Instead of the usual associativity and braiding we have just one constraint (the b-structure). In the unital case, the coherence conditions for a b-structure are shown to…

We study versions of the categories of Yetter-Drinfel'd modules over a Hopf algebra $H$ in a braided monoidal category $\C$. Contrarywise to Bespalov's approach, all our structures live in $\C$. This forces $H$ to be transparent or…

Starting with a self-dual Hopf algebra H in a braided monoidal category S we construct a Z/2Z-graded monoidal category C = C_0 + C_1. The degree zero component is the category Rep_S(H) of representations of H and the degree one component is…

This thesis aims at concluding the classification results for topological phases with symmetry in 2+1 dimensions. The main result is that topological phases are classified by a triple of unitary braided fusion categories $\mathcal…

We detail a construction of a symmetric monoidal structure, called the reduced tensor product on the 2-category of braided tensor categories $\mathbf{BTC}(\mathcal{A})$ containing a fixed symmetric fusion subcategory $\mathcal{A}$. The…

This paper addresses the problem of describing the structure of tensor C*-categories M with conjugates and irreducible tensor unit. No assumption on the existence of a braided symmetry or on amenability is made. Our assumptions are…

Under appropriate conditions, if one picks a commutative algebra A with action of group G in braided monoidal category C, the category of A modules in C obtains a natural crossed G-braided structure. In the case of general commutative…

We study tensor structures on (Rep G)-module categories defined by actions of a compact quantum group G on unital C*-algebras. We show that having a tensor product which defines the module structure is equivalent to enriching the action of…

We propose the notion of quasi-abelian third cohomology of crossed modules, generalizing Eilenberg and MacLane's abelian cohomology and Ospel's quasi-abelian cohomology, and classify crossed pointed categories in terms of it. We apply the…

We introduce group-theoretical fusion 2-categories, a strong categorification of the notion of a group-theoretical fusion 1-category. Physically speaking, such fusion 2-categories arise by gauging subgroups of a global symmetry. We show…

This is a study of weakly integral braided fusion categories with elementary fusion rules to determine which possess nondegenerately braided extensions of theoretically minimal dimension, or equivalently in this case, which satisfy the…

We present a construction of (faithful) group actions via derived equivalences in the general categorical setting of algebraic 2-Calabi--Yau triangulated categories. To each algebraic 2-Calabi--Yau category $\mathscr{C}$ satisfying standard…

We prove Eilenberg-Watts Theorem for 2-categories of the representation categories $\C\x\Mod$ of finite tensor categories $\C$. For a consequence we obtain that any autoequivalence of $\C\x\Mod$ is given by tensoring with a representative…

Let $(H,\a_H)$ be a Hom-Hopf algebra, $(A,\a_A)$ a right $H$-comodule algebra and $(C,\a_C)$ a left $H$-module coalgebra. Then we have the category $_A\mathcal{M}(H)^C$ of Hom-type Doi-Hopf modules. The aim of this paper is to make the…

We classify pointed fusion categories C(G, $\omega$) up to Morita equivalence for 1 < |G| < 32. Among them, the cases |G| = 2 3 , 2 4 and 3 3 are emphasized. Although the equivalence classes of such categories are not distinguished by their…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of group cohomology for two indecomposable module categories over a group-theoretical fusion category ${\mathcal C}$ to be equivalent. This concludes the classification of such module…

In this paper we study conjugacy classes for pivotal fusion categories. In particular we prove a Burnside type formula for the structure constants concerning the product of two conjugacy class sums of a such fusion category. For a braided…

We give two proofs of a level-rank duality for braided fusion categories obtained from quantum groups of type $C$ at roots of unity. The first proof uses conformal embeddings, while the second uses a classification of braided fusion…
