Chromatic maps for finite tensor categories

Quantum Algebra 2024-04-18 v1

Abstract

Chromatic maps for spherical tensor categories are instrumental tools to construct (non semisimple) invariants of 3-manifolds and their extension to (non compact) (2+1)-TQFTs. In this paper, we introduce left and right chromatic maps for finite tensor categories and prove that such maps always exist. As a corollary, we obtain that any spherical finite tensor category has a chromatic map.
