180˚ vs 360˚ Twists in String Diagrams for Ribbon Categories
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jeff Eggers "On involutive monoidal categories", which generalises Peter Selingers work, I guess. It's an excellent article, and it connects to other special cases.

Are there any dominant pivotal functors such that the regular representation is not mapped o...
This question is related to Pivotal functors of that are substantially different from finite group homomorphisms.
A tensor functor $F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ is called dominant (sometimes calle …

What is a true invariant of $G$-crossed braided fusion categories?
Definition. An invariant of a (spherical) fusion category with extra structure is a number or a set or tuple of numbers preserved under (appropriate) equivalences.
(Spherical) fusion categories have …

When is an Eilenberg-Moore category or Kleisli category braided monoidal? When semisimple?
I have a braided monoidal, semisimple linear category $\mathcal{C}$. (Imagine representations of a semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebra.) I also have a monad $(T,\mu,\eta)$ on it, however, $T$ is n …

When is an Eilenberg-Moore category or Kleisli category braided monoidal? When semisimple?
tetrapharmakon's hint is excellent. The article he refers to (and the earlier article http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0604180 by some of the same authors) define "quasi-triangular Hopf monads" that are an a …

Which Drinfeld centers are balanced monoidal, i.e. have a twist?
A twist is an automorphism $\theta$ of the identity functor of a monoidal category with braiding $c$, such that $\theta_{X \otimes Y} = c_{Y,X} c_{X,Y} (\theta_X \otimes \theta_Y)$. A braided monoidal …

Do all 3D TQFTs come from Reshetikhin-Turaev?
If your TQFT does not extend to the circle, (EDIT: and you're willing to generalise to lax TQFTs,) then the answer is no. A reference is: https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.0668
The proof goes by an explicit …

Is "being a modular category" a universal or categorical/algebraic property?
A semisimple braided category with duals is called modular when a certain matrix $S$ is invertible. The components $S_{AB}$ are indexed by (isomorphism classes of) simple objects of the category and o …

How are the Walker-Wang TQFT and the Crane-Yetter TQFT related?
Mathematical physicists in solid state physics and topological insulators talk a lot about Walker-Wang models, which are a family of Hamiltonians defined on a 3d lattice. Unfortunately, the original p …

What's the (monoidal) image of a monoidal functor?
For an ordinary functor $F\colon \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ of categories, there is a construction $\operatorname{im} F$, the image of $F$, which is again a category, and $F$ factors through that im …

What are TQFTs that are multiplicative under connected sums? Do bordisms with connected sum ...
In general, one extracts a manifold invariant from a TQFT by interpreting the closed manifold as a bordism from the empty set to the empty set. The TQFT sends this bordism to a homomorphism of the gro …

Imagine a monoidal functor between ribbon categories (i.e. monoidal, with a braiding, a twist and compatible left and right duals). An important example would be the restriction functor from the repre …

How does the relative Drinfeld center interact with the relative Deligne tensor product?
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a fusion category, and $\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N}$ semisimple $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$-bimodule categories. The left $\mathcal{C}$-action is denoted as $- \triangleright - \col …

A cohomology theory for fusion categories
It is well known that for a finite group $G$, the associator of the fusion category of $G$-graded $k$-vector spaces is given by an element of $H^3(G,k^*)$, up to equivalence of categories. ($k^*$ is t …
