<p>The definition reads that "A G-extension of a fusion category D is a G-graded fusion category C whose trivial component is equivalent to D." It seems like a priori there can be multiple G-extensions for the same fusion category D. Is that really the case (i.e. no reduction mechanism)? But there seems to be a "canonical one" at least, which has the same category D sitting on top of each component of the grading. Does this particular G-extension have a name?</p>

<p>A complete reference for G-extension of fusion categories is <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.3140" rel="nofollow">http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.3140</a> (see also <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.0881" rel="nofollow">http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.0881</a>). The kind of examples that you are saying are $\mathcal D\boxtimes \text{Vec}_G$, the Deligne product of $\mathcal D$ with Vec$_G$.</p>
