A formula for the modular data of $\mathcal{Z}(Vec^{\omega}G)$ was given by Coste, Gannon and Ruelle in arXiv:hep-th/0001158, but without an explicit proof for arbitrary 3-cocycles. This paper presents a derivation using the representation…
The definitions of the $n^{th}$ Gauss sum and the associated $n^{th}$ central charge are introduced for premodular categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $n\in\mathbb{Z}$. We first derive an expression of the $n^{th}$ Gauss sum of a modular category…
We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…
Given a fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ and an indecomposable $\mathcal{C}$-module category $\mathcal{M}$, the fusion category $\mathcal{C}^*_\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathcal{C}$-module endofunctors of $\mathcal{M}$ is called the (Morita) dual…
Recently, Harman and the second author introduced a new construction of pre-Tannakian tensor categories based on oligomorphic groups. We develop tools for analyzing the Drinfeld centers of these categories, and compute the center explicitly…
In this paper, we try to answer the following question: given a modular tensor category $\A$ with an action of a compact group $G$, is it possible to describe in a suitable sense the ``quotient'' category $\A/G$? We give a full answer in…
Global invertible symmetries act unitarily on local observables or states of a quantum system. In this note, we aim to generalise this statement to non-invertible symmetries by considering unitary actions of higher fusion category…
We construct a diagrammatic categorification of the spherical module over the Hecke algebra. We establish a basis for the morphism spaces of this category, and prove that it is equivalent to an existing algebraic spherical category.
We classify the module categories over the double (possibly twisted) of a finite group.
The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a space was introduced to obtain a lower bound on the number of critical points of a $C^1$-function on a given manifold. Related to Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and motivated by topological…
In this paper we give a complete classification of pointed fusion categories over $\mathbb{C}$ of global dimension 8. We first classify the equivalence classes of pointed fusion categories of dimension 8, and then we proceed to determine…
We study deformation of tube algebra under twisting of graded monoidal categories. When a tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ is graded over a group $\Gamma$, a torus-valued 3-cocycle on $\Gamma$ can be used to deform the associator of…
We apply the yoga of classical homotopy theory to classification problems of G-extensions of fusion and braided fusion categories, where G is a finite group. Namely, we reduce such problems to classification (up to homotopy) of maps from BG…
We develop a unified categorical framework for gauging both continuous and finite symmetries in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. Our construction applies to geometric categories i.e. categories internal to stacks. This generalizes the…
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 develop a tensor categorical duality in the sprit of the Tannaka-Krein duality for the C*-algebras admitting the Yetter-Drinfeld module structure over a compact quantum group. Under this duality, given a reduced compact quantum group G,…
The Levin-Wen string-nets of a spherical fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ describe, by results of Kirillov and Bartlett, the representations of mapping class groups of closed surfaces obtained from the Turaev-Viro construction applied to…
Although it has been a well-known fact, for more than two decades, that category theory is needed for the study of topological orders, it is still a non-trivial challenge for students and working physicists to master the abstract language…
Our work is motivated by obtaining solutions to the quantum reflection equation (qRE) by categorical methods. To start, given a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{C}$-module category $\mathcal{M}$, we introduce a version…
We introduce a new type of diagrams and prove the existence of a particular one, the "central tuned diagram", with some optimal features, for finitely generated modules of certain categories. This is achieved by getting to the idea of "the…
