Ribbon fusion categories for quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at odd roots of unity

I will work over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $q=e^{2\pi i/N}$, and write $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ for Lusztig's divided power quantum group for $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. One can associate to $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ a ...

Does unitarity and modularity constrain fusion multiplicities to be 0,1?

If I have a braided tensor category that's unitary and modular, then how does the unitarity and modularity constrain the fusion multiplicities? I know that if $a,b,c \in ob({C})$ satisfy the fusion ...

Relation between the modular categories SU(2)_n and Sp(n)_1

The online database [1] provides a list of some modular tensor categories classified by rank. Let us consider the two modular categories denoted kmA1_$\ell$ and kmC$\ell$_1 (i.e. Kac Moody $A_1$ level ...

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 ...

How to make a premodular category a modular tensor category?

A premodular category (also called ribbon fusion category) is roughly speaking a tensor category where fusion and braiding of the objects are defined. With an extra nondegeneracy condition for the ...

Is the representation category of quantum groups at root of unity visibly unitary?

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra. By taking the specialization at $q^\ell=1$ of a certain integral version¹ of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak g)$, and by considering a certain quotient ...

What's the best reference for actual formulas for RT invariants?

If one really wants to understand the formulas for how to construct the Reshetikhin-Turaev 3-manifold invariants coming from quantum groups in terms of R-matrices and such, what's the best reference ...
