We have recently devised and implemented an algorithm for computing the Drinfeld center of a fusion category in our software package \textsc{TensorCategories.jl}. By simplifying the field of definition of the F-symbols, R-symbols, and…

We consider generalized Haagerup categories such that $1 \oplus X$ admits a $Q$-system for every non-invertible simple object $X$. We show that in such a category, the group of order two invertible objects has size at most four. We describe…

We classify the pivotal structures of the Drinfeld center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$ of a finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. As a consequence, every pivotal structure of $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$ can be obtained from a pair $(\beta, j)$…

For a finite braided tensor category we introduce its Picard crossed module consisting of the group of invertible module categories and the group of braided tensor autoequivalences. We describe the Picard crossed module in terms of braided…

We show that the Drinfeld centre of a symmetric fusion category is a bilax 2-fold monoidal category. That is, it carries two monoidal structures, the convolution and symmetric tensor products, that are bilax monoidal functors with respect…

In this paper, we show the existence of a near-group category of type $\mathbb{Z} / 4\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} / 4\mathbb{Z}+16$ and compute the modular data of its Drinfeld center. We prove that a modular data of rank $10$ can be…
