We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give…

Given a braided fusion category $C$, it is well known that the natural map $C \boxtimes C^{bop} \to Z(C)$ from the square of $C$ to the (Drinfeld) categorical center $Z(C)$ is an equivalence if and only if $C$ is modular. However, it is not…

We show that every unitarizable fusion category, and more generally every semisimple C*-tensor category, admits a unique unitary structure. Our proof is based on a categorified polar decomposition theorem for monoidal equivalences between…

We classify braided $\mathbb{Z}_q$-extensions of pointed fusion categories, where $q$ is a prime number. As an application, we classify modular categories of Frobenius-Perron dimension $q^3$.

Central bialgebras in a braided category $\C$ are algebras in the center of the category of coalgebras in $\C$. On these bialgebras another product can be defined, which plays the role of the opposite product. Hence, coquasitriangular…

We produce braided commutative algebras in braided monoidal categories by generalizing Davydov's full center construction of commutative algebras in centers of monoidal categories. Namely, we build braided commutative algebras in relative…

In this paper we extend categorically the notion of a finite nilpotent group to fusion categories. To this end, we first analyze the trivial component of the universal grading of a fusion category C, and then introduce the upper central…

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…

We classify all connected and Lagrangian \'etale algebras in the Drinfeld center $\mathscr{Z}_1(\mathbf{2Vect}^\pi_G)$, where $G$ is a finite group and $\pi$ is a 4-cocycle on $G$. By D\'ecoppet's result every bosonic fusion 2-category…

We classify all fusion categories for a given set of fusion rules with three simple object types. If a conjecture of Ostrik is true, our classification completes the classification of fusion categories with three simple object types. To…

We introduce the idea of a geometric categorical Lie algebra action on derived categories of coherent sheaves. The main result is that such an action induces an action of the braid group associated to the Lie algebra. The same proof shows…

We collate information about the fusion categories with $A_n$ fusion rules. This note includes the classification of these categories, a realisation via the Temperley-Lieb categories, the auto-equivalence groups (both braided and tensor),…

Noncommutative near-group fusion categories were completely classified in the previous work of the first named author by using an operator algebraic method (and hence under the assumption of unitarity), and they were shown to be group…

We show that there is a braided tensor category structure on the category of $C_1$-cofinite modules for the (universal or simple) Virasoro vertex operator algebras of arbitrary central charge. In the generic case of central charge…

We introduce the notion of a braiding on a skew monoidal category, whose curious feature is that the defining isomorphisms involve three objects rather than two. These braidings are shown to arise from, and classify, cobraidings (also known…

Let $A$ be an algebra over a commutative ring $k$. It is known that the categories of non-commutative descent data, of comodules over the Sweedler canonical coring, of right $A$-modules with a flat connection are isomorphic as braided…

Ocneanu rigidity implies that there are finitely many (braided) fusion categories with a given set of fusion rules. While there is no method for determining all such categories up to equivalence, there are a few cases for which can. For…

Representations of small quantum groups $u_q({\mathfrak{g}})$ at a root of unity and their extensions provide interesting tensor categories, that appear in different areas of algebra and mathematical physics. There is an ansatz by Lusztig…

We prove that every slightly degenerate braided fusion category admits a minimal nondegenerate extension, and hence that every pseudo-unitary super modular tensor category admits a minimal modular extension. This completes the program of…

We describe the structure of a generalized near-group fusion category and present an example of this class of fusion categories which arises from the extension of a Fibonacci category. We then classify slightly degenerate generalized…
