AbstractWe address the question whether or not the condition on a fusion category being solvable is determined by its fusion rules. We prove that the answer is affirmative for some families of non-solvable examples arising from representations of semisimple Hopf algebras associated to exact factorizations of the symmetric and alternating groups. In the context of spherical fusion categories, we also consider the invariant provided by the

We explain a technique for discovering the number of simple objects in [Formula: see text], the center of a fusion category [Formula: see text], as well as the combinatorial data of the induction and restriction functors at the level of Grothendieck rings. The only input is the fusion ring [Formula: see text] and the dimension function [Formula: see text]. In particular, we apply this to deduce that the center of the extended Haagerup subfactor has 22 simple objects, along with their decompositions as objects in either of the fusion categories associated to the subfactor. This information has been used subsequently in [T. Gannon and S. Morrison, Modular data for the extended Haagerup subfactor (2016), arXiv:1606.07165 .] to compute the full modular data. This is the published version of arXiv:1404.3955 .

A string-net model associates a vector space to a surface in terms of graphs decorated by objects and morphisms of a pivotal fusion category modulo local relations. String-net models are usually considered for spherical fusion categories, and in this case, the vector spaces agree with the state spaces of the corresponding Turaev–Viro topological quantum field theory. In the present work, some effects of dropping the sphericality condition are investigated. In one example of nonspherical pivotal fusion categories, the string-net space counts the number of [Formula: see text]-spin structures on a surface and carries an isomorphic representation of the mapping class group. Another example concerns the string-net space of a sphere with one marked point labeled by a simple object [Formula: see text] of the Drinfeld center. This space is found to be nonzero iff [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to a nonunit simple object determined by the nonspherical pivotal structure. The last example mirrors the effect of deforming the stress tensor of a two-dimensional conformal field theory, such as in the topological twist of a supersymmetric theory.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we prove that fusion categories of Frobenius–Perron dimensions 84 and 90 are of Frobenius type. Combining this with previous results in the literature, we obtain that every weakly integral fusion category of Frobenius–Perron dimension less than 120 is of Frobenius type.

Theory Formula

We define a family of quantum invariants of closed oriented [Formula: see text]-manifolds using spherical multi-fusion categories (SMFCs). The state sum nature of this invariant leads directly to [Formula: see text]-dimensional topological quantum field theories ([Formula: see text]s), which generalize the Turaev–Viro–Barrett–Westbury ([Formula: see text]) [Formula: see text]s from spherical fusion categories. The invariant is given as a state sum over labeled triangulations, which is mostly parallel to, but richer than the [Formula: see text] approach in that here the labels live not only on [Formula: see text]-simplices but also on [Formula: see text]-simplices. It is shown that a multi-fusion category in general cannot be a spherical fusion category in the usual sense. Thus, we introduce the concept of a SMFC by imposing a weakened version of sphericity. Besides containing the [Formula: see text] theory, our construction also includes the recent higher gauge theory [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]s given by Kapustin and Thorngren, which was not known to have a categorical origin before.

Rational Hopf algebras, i.e. certain quasitriangular weak quasi-Hopf algebras whose representations form a tortile modular C* category, are expected to describe the quantum symmetry of rational field theories. In this paper the essential structure (hidden by a large gauge freedom) of rational Hopf algebras is revealed. This allows one to construct examples of rational Hopf algebras starting only from the corresponding fusion ring. In particular we classify all solutions for fusion rules with not more than three sectors, as well as for the level 3 affine [Formula: see text] fusion rules.

Abstract Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a fusion category over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of arbitrary characteristic. Two numerical invariants of $\mathcal{C}$ , that is, the Casimir number and the determinant of $\mathcal{C}$ are considered in this paper. These two numbers are both positive integers and admit the property that the Grothendieck algebra $(\mathcal{C})\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}K$ over any field K is semisimple if and only if any of these numbers is not zero in K. This shows that these two numbers have the same prime factors. If moreover $\mathcal{C}$ is pivotal, it gives a numerical criterion that $\mathcal{C}$ is nondegenerate if and only if any of these numbers is not zero in $\mathbb{k}$ . For the case that $\mathcal{C}$ is a spherical fusion category over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, these two numbers and the Frobenius–Schur exponent of $\mathcal{C}$ share the same prime factors. This may be thought of as another version of the Cauchy theorem for spherical fusion categories.

Abstract This paper introduces methods for classifying actions of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras on path algebras of quivers and more generally on tensor algebras $T_B(V)$ where $B$ is semisimple. We work within the broader framework of finite (multi-)tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$, classifying tensor algebras in $\mathcal{C}$ in terms of $\mathcal{C}$-module categories. We obtain two classification results for actions of semisimple Hopf algebras: the first for actions that preserve the ascending filtration on tensor algebras and the second for actions that preserve the descending filtration on completed tensor algebras. Extending to more general fusion categories, we illustrate our classification result for tensor algebras in the pointed fusion categories $\textsf{Vec}_{G}^{\omega }$ and in group-theoretical fusion categories, especially for the representation category of the Kac–Paljutkin Hopf algebra.

Abstract Fusion category symmetries are finite symmetries in 1+1 dimensions described by unitary fusion categories. We classify 1+1d time-reversal invariant bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases with fusion category symmetry by using topological field theories. We first formulate two-dimensional unoriented topological field theories whose symmetry splits into time-reversal symmetry and fusion category symmetry. We then solve them to show that SPT phases are classified by equivalence classes of quintuples (Z, M, i, s, ϕ) where (Z, M, i) is a fiber functor, s is a sign, and ϕ is the action of orientation- reversing symmetry that is compatible with the fiber functor (Z, M, i). We apply this classification to SPT phases with Kramers-Wannier-like self-duality.
