Structure of Lagrangian algebras in the center of a fusion category
(1) Let $\mathcal F$ be a spherical fusion tensor category. Then Müger showed that
$R=\bigoplus_{H\in\mathrm{Irr}(\mathcal F)} H\boxtimes H^\mathrm{op}$ canonically has the structure of a Frobenius ...

State-sum for 4d TQFT from fusion 2-categories and invariants of Morita equiavalence classes beyond Drinfeld center
If $\mathcal{C}$ is a fusion 1-category, the Turaev-Viro state-sum produces a 3d TQFT whose modular tensor category is the Drinfeld center of $\mathcal{C}$. In particular this means that the Turaev-...

Analogue of Reshetikhin-Turaev construction for unoriented TQFTs
The Reshetikhin-Turaev construction takes a modular tensor category $\mathcal C$ and produces a 3-2-1 oriented TQFT $Z_{\mathcal C}$ such that $Z_{\mathcal C}(S^1) = \mathcal C$.
Is there an ...

Categorical interpretation of the comodulus of a Hopf algebra?
Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra.
Then it has a right cointegral $\lambda \in H^*$ and a left integral $c \in H$, characterized uniquely (up to scalar) by
\begin{align}
(\lambda \...

Quantum dimension in the Drinfeld center
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a spherical tensor category. It is known that the Drinfeld center of $\mathcal{C}$ is modular (and therefore also spherical), see for example, Corollary 8.20.14 in [1]. Recall the ...

semisimplicity of maps in braided vector spaces
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional braided vector space over $\mathbb{C}$.
This means that we have a map $$c_{V,V}:V\otimes V\to V\otimes V$$ which gives us an action of the braid group $B_n$ on $V^{\...

Vertex operator algebras and modular tensor categories
Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a vertex operator algebra (VOA), and let $\mathcal{C}=Rep(\mathcal{V})$ be the tensor category of (ususal) $\mathcal{V}$-modules. It is a well-known open-problem whether every ...

Does a factorization of a modular fusion category imply some "factorization" of TFTs?
Mueger showed in this paper that if $C$ is a modular fusion category and $D$ is a modular fusion subcategory of $C$, then $C$ is equivalent to $D \boxtimes M_C(D)$ as ribbon categories, where $M_C(D)$ ...

$e^{2\pi ic_{-}/8}$ and $e^{2\pi ic_{-}/24}$ in unitary modular category (UMC)
Background
Unitary modular categories (UMC) do not capture the central charge $c_{-}$ of the topological quantum field theory (TQFT). However, there is a relation that fixes,
$c_{-}\bmod

Symmetries of modular categories coming from quantum groups
This is a request for references about the computation of the braided autoequivalences of fusion categories coming from a quantum group. I could not find even the description of braided ...

Is the rank of an integral MTC an upper bound for the prime factors of its FPdim?
In this post, the abbreviation "MTC" and "FPdim" stand for "Modular Tensor Category" and "Frobenius-Perron dimension".
From [DLN, Theorem II (iii)], where the ...

Is there a non-pointed simple integral modular fusion category?
The weakly group-theoretical conjecture (supporting a negative answer to [ENO11, Question 2]) states as follows:
Statement 1: Every integral fusion category is weakly group-theoretical.
We wonder ...

Different modular data with same T-matrix
Modular data (MD) is an invariant of a modular fusion category $\mathcal{C}$. It is a couple of symmetric matrices $S, T \in M_r(\mathbb{C})$ with:
$r$ the rank of $\mathcal{C}$,
$S$ invertible,
$T$ ...
