Abstract

Let (H,R)(H,R) be a quasitriangular weak Hopf algebra over a field kk. We show that there is a braided monoidal equivalence between the Yetter-Drinfeld module category HHYD^H_H\mathscr{YD} over HH and the category of comodules over some braided Hopf algebra RH{}_RH in the category HM_H\mathscr{M}. Based on this equivalence, we prove that every braided bi-Galois object AA over the braided Hopf algebra RH{}_RH defines a braided autoequivalence of the category HHYD^H_H\mathscr{YD} if and only if AA is quantum commutative. In case HH is semisimple over an algebraically closed field, i.e. the fusion case, then every braided autoequivalence of HHYD^H_H\mathscr{YD} trivializable on HM_H\mathscr{M} is determined by such a quantum commutative Galois object. The quantum commutative Galois objects in HM_H\mathscr{M} form a group measuring the Brauer group of (H,R)(H,R) as studied in [20] in the Hopf algebra case.
