DHR superselection and DR reconstruction in low spacetime dimensions

Given a completely rational net on $\mathbb{R}$, the Doplicher-Haag-Roberts (DHR) category is a modular fusion category (MFC) identical to that associated with the corresponding vertex operator ...

Unitary fusion category and subfactor

From a unitary fusion category $\mathcal{C}$, there are several ways to make a (hyperfinite II$_1$) subfactor. By [Ha] there are weak Hopf algebras $H$ such that $\mathcal{C} = Rep(H)$. By unitarity (...

Is there a finite depth irreducible subfactor of prime index and not group-subgroup?

Let $N \subset M$ be a finite depth unital inclusion of II$_1$ factors. By Theorem 3.2 in this paper (Bisch, 1994), if the index $|M:N|$ is integer then for any intermediate subfactor $N \subset P \...

What are all the possible indices for the finite depth subfactors?

Jones index theorem (1983) states that the set of all possible (finite) indices of subfactors is exactly $$\mathrm{Ind}=\{ 4 \cos(\pi/n)^2 \ | \ n \ge 3 \} \cup [4, \infty),$$ but if we restrict to ...

Is there a non-irreducible maximal subfactor other than two-sided TLJ?

A subfactor $N \subseteq M$ is called: irreducible if $N' \cap M = \mathbb{C}$, maximal if for any intermediate subfactor $N \subseteq P \subseteq M$ then $P=\{N,M \}$. The two-sided ...

A group-theoretical analogous of Temperley-Lieb-Jones subfactor planar algebras

The Temperley-Lieb-Jones subfactor planar algebra $\mathcal{TLJ}_{\delta}$ admits the following properties: maximal, it exists for every possible index, i.e. $\delta^2 \in \{4cos^2(\pi/n) \ | \ n \...

Are subfactor planar algebras hard to classify at index 6?

Given a finite index inclusion, $N\subset M$, of $II_1$ factors we can construct two towers of finite dimensional algebras known as the $\textit{standard invariant}$. For low index, this has allowed ...
