Aug 25, 2021 at 5:01 comment added JeCl I still think there ought to be a more elementary proof though?!?
Aug 25, 2021 at 5:01 comment added JeCl I wondered whether there was a proof using the cobordism hypothesis. Thanks for explaining it!
Aug 25, 2021 at 0:14 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd ... Then $Z(\mathcal{C}) \cong \mathcal{C} \boxtimes_{C^e} \mathcal{C}^\vee$. This gives formulas for both sides of your equation entirely in terms of (balanced) tensor products.
Aug 25, 2021 at 0:12 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd There is a different way to say this which doesn't use the word "cobordism hypothesis". Working in the bicategory $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{C}^e)$ of $\mathcal{C}^e$-bimodules, where $\mathcal{C}^e := \mathcal{C} \boxtimes \mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{mop}}$ and "$\mathrm{mop}$" means the monoidal opposite, we have a canonical isomorphism $Z(\mathcal{C}) \cong \mathrm{End}_{C^e}(\mathcal{C})$. But, again quoting arxiv.org/abs/1312.7188, $\mathcal{C}$ is dualizable as a $\mathcal{C}^e$-module. Call its dual "$\mathcal{C}^\vee := \mathrm{hom}_{C^e}(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}^e)$"....
Aug 25, 2021 at 0:08 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd According to arxiv.org/abs/1312.7188, fusion categories are at least 2-dualizable. Thus for any fusion category $\mathcal{C}$, the cobordism hypothesis provides a TQFT which assigns $\mathcal{C}$ to a point. This TQFT assigns $Z(\mathcal{C})$ to a circle with outward boundary framing (i.e. to $\partial D^2$). The cobordism hypothesis is monoidal in the sense that the TQFTs depend monoidally on the value of a point. So, yes, in the fusion case this is an equivalence.
