In this paper we develop a Morse-like theory in order to decompose birational maps and morphisms of smooth projective varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero into more elementary steps which are locally \'etale isomorphic to…
We study generalized symmetries of quantum field theories in 1+1D generated by topological defect lines with no inverse. This paper follows our companion paper on gapped phases and anomalies associated with these symmetries. In the present…
We define the Drinfeld center of a monoidal category enriched over a braided monoidal category, and show that every modular tensor category can be realized in a canonical way as the Drinfeld center of a self-enriched monoidal category. We…
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 demonstrate that, in certain cases, quantization and the classical limit provide functors that are "almost inverse" to each other. These functors map between categories of algebraic structures for classical and quantum physics,…
We prove that the category of solitons of a finite index conformal net is a bicommutant category, and that its Drinfel'd center is the category of representations of the conformal net. In the special case of a chiral WZW conformal net with…
This series of papers is a contribution to the program of classifying $p$-blocks of finite groups up to source algebra equivalence, starting with the case of cyclic blocks. To any $p$-block $\mathbf{B}$ of a finite group with cyclic defect…
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…
In [LWY23] the authors construct the reflective center of a module category M over a braided monoidal category B. The reflective center is by construction a braided module category over B. In the case where B is the category of modules over…
The analogue of the charge-conjugation modular invariant for rational logarithmic conformal field theories is constructed. This is done by reconstructing the bulk spectrum from a simple boundary condition (the analogue of the Cardy…
In this paper, the Drinfeld center of a monoidal category is generalized to a class of mixed Drinfeld centers. This gives a unified picture for the Drinfeld center and a natural Heisenberg analogue. Further, there is an action of the former…
We consider a type III subfactor $N\subset M$ of finite index with a finite system of braided $N$-$N$ morphisms which includes the irreducible constituents of the dual canonical endomorphism. We apply $\alpha$-induction and, developing…
We define a categorical framework in which we build a systematic construction that provides generic invariants for C*-algebras. The benefit is significant as we show that any invariant arising this way automatically enjoys nice properties…
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…
We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…
We construct a long exact sequence computing the obstruction space, pi_1(BrPic(C_0)), to G-graded extensions of a fusion category C_0. The other terms in the sequence can be computed directly from the fusion ring of C_0. We apply our result…
We systematically study the commutative factorization categories over the Ran space. We fill in what we consider as a gap in the construction of the factorizable Satake functor in the constructible setting in arXiv:1708.07205,…
For a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $n \geq 1$, let $D$ be the division algebra over $F$ of invariant $1/n$ and let $G^0$ be the subgroup of $\text{GL}_n(F)$ of elements with norm $1$ determinant. We show that the action of…
Let $\text{M}_C( 2, \mathcal{O}_C) \cong \mathbb{P}^3$ denote the coarse moduli space of semistable vector bundles of rank $2$ with trivial determinant over a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $2$ over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\beta_C$ denote…
The classification of phases using categorical symmetries has greatly expanded the landscape of gapped and gapless phases. So far, however, these developments have largely been restricted to phases with unitary (higher-)categorical…
