Is there a simple argument that shows that two unitary fusion categories are Morita equivalent if their Drinfeld centers are equal?

In the non-unitary setting ENO proved that if $Z(C)$ and $Z(D)$ are equivalent as braided tensor categories, then C and D are Morita equivalent. This is Theorem 3.1 of this paper. Note that they ...

Is there a strongly noncommutative fusion category?

Consider the symmetric group group $G = S_3$ of order $6$. Then $\mathrm{H}^3_{\mathrm{gp}}(G;\mathrm{U}(1)) \cong \mathbb Z/6\mathbb Z$. Choose a generator $\omega \in \mathrm{H}^3_{\mathrm{gp}}(G;\...

Is the central charge of a Drinfeld center always 0?

The Drinfeld center of a spherical fusion category has topological central charge $0\pmod 8$ see Remark 5.19 in Müger, Michael: From subfactors to categories and topology. II. The quantum double ...

Generalization of Drinfeld double to comodule algebras

Such an algebra exists. As far as I am aware, the algebra was first described in chapter 6 of The blob complex by Morrison and Walker. In this paper, the algebra is construct from a diagrammatic ...

Representations of $D(G)$ as an object in the center of $\operatorname{Rep}(G)$

1)2) is standard for an arbitrary f.d. Hopf algebra $H$, as you say it's not hard to idenfity $D(H)$-modules with Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Then, given two of those, say $V,W$ you can define a braiding ...

Relationship between fusion category and its Drinfel'd center

The short answer is no. Suppose you have a fully faithful monoidal functor $(F,J):\mathcal C\to\mathcal B$, where $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal B$ are fusion and $J_{X,Y}:F(X)\otimes F(Y)\to F(X\otimes Y)...

Generalization of Drinfeld double to comodule algebras

I think Davydov's papers Centre of an algebra and Full centre of an H-module algebra might be what you are looking for.

Is there a definition of Heisenberg double for quasi-Hopf algebras?

$\newcommand{\dmod}{\text{-}\mathrm{mod}}$I've been asking myself that same question for a while, and I'm fairly certain the answer is "no". Let me expand a bit: First of all, in the finite ...

Fusion category and induction matrix to its Drinfeld center: combinatorial properties

BQ1 has the following counter-example (inspired by a discussion with Corey Jones): For $\mathcal{C} = Rep(D_9)$, the fusion rules are: $$ \begin{smallmatrix}1&0&0&0&0&0\\ 0&...

Generalization of Drinfeld double to comodule algebras

Section 1 (in particular Prop 1.23) of On module categories over finite-dimensional Hopf algebras by Andruskiewitsch-Mombelli come close to an answer to your question: namely, they show that if $H$ is ...

Relationship between fusion category and its Drinfel'd center

I assume we are under the assumption the category is braided. This is mentioned in Drinfeld, Vladimir; Gelaki, Shlomo; Nikshych, Dmitri; Ostrik, Victor, On braided fusion categories. I, Sel. Math., ...
