We introduce a finiteness property for braided fusion categories, describe a conjecture that would characterize categories possessing this, and verify the conjecture in a number of important cases. In particular we say a category has F if…
A fundamental theorem of P. Deligne (2002) states that a pre-Tannakian category over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero admits a fiber functor to the category of supervector spaces (i.e., is the representation category of…
Using a variety of methods developed in the literature (in particular, the theory of weak Hopf algebras), we prove a number of general results about fusion categories in characteristic zero. We show that the global dimension of a fusion…
We introduce two new classes of fusion categories which are obtained by a certain procedure from finite groups - weakly group-theoretical categories and solvable categories. These are fusion categories that are Morita equivalent to iterated…
We propose a conjectural extension to positive characteristic case of a well known Deligne's theorem on the existence of super fiber functors. We prove our conjecture in the special case of semisimple categories with finitely many…
We develop a theory of Frobenius functors for symmetric tensor categories (STC) $\mathcal{C}$ over a field $\bf k$ of characteristic $p$, and give its applications to classification of such categories. Namely, we define a twisted-linear…
We characterize a natural class of modular categories of prime power Frobenius-Perron dimension as representation categories of twisted doubles of finite p-groups. We also show that a nilpotent braided fusion category C admits an analogue…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closedfield of characteristic zero. In this paper we consider an integral fusion category over $k$ in which the Frobenius-Perron dimensions of its simple objects are at most 3. We prove that such fusion category…
In this paper we provide a complete classification of fusion categories of Frobenius-Perron (FP) dimension pq, where p<q are distinct primes, thus giving a categorical generalization of math.QA/9801129. As a corollary we also obtain the…
We develop theory and examples of monoidal functors on tensor categories in positive characteristic that generalise the Frobenius functor from \cite{Os, EOf, Tann}. The latter has proved to be a powerful tool in the ongoing classification…
We prove that braided fusion categories of Frobenius-Perron $p^mq^nd$ or $p^2q^2r^2$ are weakly group-theoretical, where $p,q,r$ are distinct prime numbers, $d$ is a square-free natural number such that $(pq,d)=1$. As an application, we…
We classify braided tensor categories over C of exponential growth which are quasisymmetric, i.e., the squared braiding is the identity on the product of any two simple objects. This generalizes the classification results of Deligne on…
We introduce the notion of a $\textit{reflection fusion category}$, which is a type of a $G$-crossed category generated by objects of Frobenius-Perron dimension $1$ and $\sqrt{p}$, where $p$ is an odd prime. We show that such categories…
Here we study bounds on the Frobenius-Schur exponent of spherical fusion categories based on their global dimension generalizing bounds from the representation theory of finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras. Our main result is that if the…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In this paper we prove that fusion categories of Frobenius-Perron dimensions 84 and 90 are of Frobenius type. Combining this with previous results in the literature, we obtain…
We discuss the fermionization of fusion category symmetries in two-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). When the symmetry of a bosonic TQFT is described by the representation category $\mathrm{Rep}(H)$ of a semisimple…
We show that a weakly integral braided fusion category C such that every simple object of C has Frobenius-Perron dimension at most 2 is solvable. In addition, we prove that such a fusion category is group-theoretical in the extreme case…
In this paper, we conjecture an extension of the Hilbert basis theorem and the finite generation of invariants to commutative algebras in symmetric finite tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We prove the conjecture in…
From a unifying lemma concerning fusion rings, we prove a collection of number-theoretic results about fusion, braided, and modular tensor categories. First, we prove that every fusion ring has a dimensional grading by an elementary abelian…
We classify braided extensions $C$ of a rank $2$ fusion category. The result shows that $C$ is tensor equivalent to a Deligne's tensor product of some known categories, except $C$ is slightly degenerate and generated by a…
