Are there interesting examples of unitary fusion categories where a tensor product of two simple objects is simple?
Typically the tensor product of two simple objects is not simple. The smallest example is $\text{Fib}$, the Fibonacci category (also called the Yang-Lee category), that has two simple objects: $\...

Number of categories of product of fusion rings
If you take the fusion ring $A=B=\mathbb N[\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z]$, then $n_a=n_b=2$. This is because the two categorifications are $\text{Vec}_{\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z}$ and $\text{Vec}_{\mathbb Z/2\...

How does the Tannaka duality work for weak Hopf algebras and fusion categories?
The procedure is more or less the standard Tannakian reconstruction argument. The first thing you need is a "forgetful" fiber functor $F:C\to Vect$, then you consider $R=End(F)$ the natural ...
