Abstract

We introduce, for a symmetric fusion category A\mathcal{A} with Drinfeld centre Z(A)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A}), the notion of Z(A)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})-crossed braided tensor category. These are categories that are enriched over Z(A)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A}) equipped with a symmetric tensor product, while being braided monoidal with respect to the usual tensor product on Z(A)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A}). In the Tannakian case where A=Rep(G)\mathcal{A}=\mathbf{Rep}(G) for a finite group GG, the 2-category of Z(A)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})-crossed braided categories is shown to be equivalent to the 2-category of GG-crossed braided tensor categories. A similar result is established for the super-Tannakian case where A\mathcal{A} is the representation category of a finite super-group.
