On twisted Verlinde formulae for modular categories
Abstract
In this note, we describe two analogues of the Verlinde formula for modular categories in a twisted setting. The classical Verlinde formula for a modular category describes the fusion coefficients of in terms of the corresponding S-matrix . Now let us suppose that we also have an invertible -module category equipped with a -module trace. This gives rise to a modular autoequivalence . In this setting, we can define a crossed S-matrix . As our first twisted analogue of the Verlinde formula, we will describe the fusion coefficients for as a -module category in terms of the S-matrix and the crossed S-matrix . In this twisted setting, we can also define a twisted fusion -algebra . As another analogue of the Verlinde formula, we describe the fusion coefficients of the twisted fusion algebra in terms of the crossed S-matrix .
