Graham and Lehrer (1998) introduced a Temperley-Lieb category $\mathsf{\widetilde{TL}}$ whose objects are the non-negative integers and the morphisms in $\mathsf{Hom}(n,m)$ are the link diagrams from $n$ to $m$ nodes. The Temperley-Lieb…

For each braided category $\mathcal{C}$ we show that, under mild hypotheses, there is an associated category of "half braided algebras" and their bimodules internal to $\mathcal{C}$ which is not only monoidal but even braided and balanced.…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a finite braided multitensor category. Let $B$ be Majid's automorphism braided group of $\mathcal{C}$, then $B$ is a cocommutative Hopf algebra in $\mathcal{C}$. We show that the center of $\mathcal{C}$ is isomorphic to…

In our previous article [arXiv:2307.12552], we introduced local topological order (LTO) axioms for quantum spin systems which allowed us to define a physical boundary manifested by a net of boundary algebras in one dimension lower. This…

This article contains a review of categorifications of semisimple representations of various rings via abelian categories and exact endofunctors on them. A simple definition of an abelian categorification is presented and illustrated with…

We classify Lagrangian subcategories of the representation category of a twisted quantum double of a finite group. In view of results of 0704.0195v2 this gives a complete description of all braided tensor equivalent pairs of twisted quantum…

We develop a theory of localization for braid group representations associated with objects in braided fusion categories and, more generally, to Yang-Baxter operators in monoidal categories. The essential problem is to determine when a…

We introduce a certain type of representations for the quantum Teichmuller space of a punctured surface, which we call local representations. We show that, up to finitely many choices, these purely algebraic representations are classified…

This expository article supplies the mathematical background underpinning the braid representation calculator introduced in arXiv:2212.00831; those representations describe the sets of logic gates available to a topological quantum computer…

We show that the core of a weakly group-theoretical braided fusion category $\C$ is equivalent as a braided fusion category to a tensor product $\B \boxtimes \D$, where $\D$ is a pointed weakly anisotropic braided fusion category, and $\B…

A modular tensor category is a non-degenerate ribbon finite tensor category. And a ribbon factorizable Hopf algebra is exactly the Hopf algebra whose finite-dimensional representations form a modular tensor category. The goal of this paper…

We extend the previously established zesting techniques from fusion categories to general tensor categories. In particular we consider the category of comodules over a Hopf algebra, providing a detailed translation of the categorical…

We compute quantum character varieties of arbitrary closed surfaces with boundaries and marked points. These are categorical invariants $\int_S\mathcal A$ of a surface $S$, determined by the choice of a braided tensor category $\mathcal A$,…

Multiplicative analogues of the shuffle elements of the braid group rings are introduced; in local representations they give rise to certain graded associative algebras (b-shuffle algebras). For the Hecke and BMW algebras, the…

With the motivation of giving a more precise estimation of the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra $H$ over a field $k$ we construct an exact sequence containing the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra in a certain braided monoidal…

Every fusion category C that is k-linear over a suitable field k, is the category of finite-dimensional comodules of a Weak Hopf Algebra H. This Weak Hopf Algebra is finite-dimensional, cosemisimple and has commutative bases. It arises as…

Let $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{g},k)$ be the unitary modular tensor categories arising from the representation theory of quantum groups at roots of unity for arbitrary simple finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and positive…

We introduce a diagram category, study its structure, and investigate some of its applications to the representation theory of Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras. The morphisms of the category, which contains a subcategory isomorphic to the…

We develop a theory of descent and forms of tensor categories over arbitrary fields. We describe the general scheme of classification of such forms using algebraic and homotopical language, and give examples of explicit classification of…
