We introduce the condensed fiber product of two $G$-crossed braided fusion categories, generalizing existing constructions in the literature. We show that this product is closely related to the cohomological construction known as zesting.…

We construct a weak representation of the category of framed affine tangles on a disjoint union of triangulated categories ${\mathcal D}_{2n}$. The categories we use are that of coherent sheaves on Springer fibers over a nilpotent element…

We prove that the Drinfeld center $Z(\mathcal{C})$ of a pivotal finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ comes with the structure of a ribbon Grothendieck-Verdier category in the sense of Boyarchenko-Drinfeld. Phrased operadically, this makes…

We give several criteria to decide whether a given tensor category is the abelian envelope of a fixed symmetric monoidal category. As a main result we prove that the category of finite-dimensional representations of a semisimple simply…

We classify finite pointed braided tensor categories admitting a fiber functor in terms of bilinear forms on symmetric Yetter-Drinfeld modules over abelian groups. We describe the groupoid formed by braided equivalences of such categories…

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected complex algebraic group and let $\mathfrak{g}_*$ be a $\mathbf{Z}/m$-grading on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. In a recent series of articles, G. Lusztig and Z. Yun, studied the classification of simple…

We present a proof of the fact that in a symmetric monoidal category over a field of characteristic zero, objects with an invertible exterior power are rigid. As an application we prove two recent conjectures on dimensions in symmetric…

Under a mild condition, the perfect derived category and the finite-dimensional derived category of a graded gentle one-cycle algebra are described as twisted root categories of certain infinite quivers of type $\mathbb{A}_\infty^\infty$.…

We introduce, for a symmetric fusion category $\mathcal{A}$ with Drinfeld centre $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$, the notion of $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$-crossed braided tensor category. These are categories that are enriched over…

In this paper we consider finite groups G satisfying the following condition: G has two columns in its character table which differ by exactly one entry. It turns out that such groups exist and they are exactly the finite groups with a…

A graded tensor category over a group $G$ will be called a strongly $G$-graded tensor category if every homogeneous component has at least one multiplicativily invertible object. Our main result is a description of the module categories…

Dave Benson conjectured in 2020 that if $G$ is a finite $2$-group and $V$ is an odd-dimensional indecomposable representation of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $2$, then the only odd-dimensional…

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of $\mathcal{D}(G)$ explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all…

We establish curious Lefschetz property for generic character varieties of Riemann surfaces conjectured by Hausel, Letellier and Rodriguez-Villegas. Our main tool applies directly in the case when there is at least one puncture where the…

For a pivotal finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, we define the algebra $\mathsf{CF}(\mathcal{C})$ of class functions and the internal character $\mathsf{ch}(X) \in \mathsf{CF}(\mathcal{C})$ for an…

In this work, we generalize the notion of character for 2-representations of finite 2-groups. The properties of 2-characters bear strong similarities to those classical characters of finite groups, including conjugation invariance,…

We study actions of discrete groups on 2-categories. The motivating examples are actions on the 2-category of representations of finite tensor categories and their relation with the extension theory of tensor categories by groups.…

In this work, we analyze the structure of the category of partial representations of a finite group $G$ as a multifusion category, providing an alternative way to describe simple objects and their tensor products. We describe the…

We determine versal non-commutative deformations of some simple collections in the categories of perverse coherent sheaves arising from tilting generators for projective morphisms.

The purpose of the present paper is to prove for finitely generated groups of type I the following conjecture of A.Fel'shtyn and R.Hill, which is a generalization of the classical Burnside theorem. Let G be a countable discrete group, f one…
