M-traces in (Non-Unimodular) Pivotal Categories

چکیده
We generalize the notion of a modified trace (or m-trace) to setting non-unimodular categories. M-traces are known play an important role in low-dimensional topology and representation theory, as well studying category itself. Under mild conditions we give existence uniqueness results for m-traces pivotal

Traces in Monoidal Categories
Abstract. This paper contains the construction, examples and properties of a trace and a trace pairing for certain morphisms in a monoidal category with switching isomorphisms. Our construction of the categorical trace is a common generalization of the trace for endomorphisms of dualizable objects in a balanced monoidal category and the trace of nuclear operators on a topological vector space w...
متن کاملTraces in braided categories
With any even Hecke symmetry R (that is a Hecke type solution of the Yang-Baxter equation) we associate a quasitensor category. We formulate a condition on R implying that the constructed category is rigid and its commutativity isomorphisms RU,V are natural in the sense of [T]. We show that this condition leads to rescaling the initial Hecke symmetry. We suggest a new way of introducing traces ...
متن کاملThe Additivity of Traces in Triangulated Categories
We explain a fundamental additivity theorem for Euler characteristics and generalized trace maps in triangulated categories. The proof depends on a refined axiomatization of symmetric monoidal categories with a compatible triangulation. The refinement consists of several new axioms relating products and distinguished triangles. The axioms hold in the examples and shed light on generalized homol...
متن کاملHigher Frobenius-schur Indicators for Pivotal Categories
We define higher Frobenius-Schur indicators for objects in linear pivotal monoidal categories. We prove that they are category invariants, and take values in the cyclotomic integers. We also define a family of natural endomorphisms of the identity endofunctor on a k-linear semisimple rigid monoidal category, which we call the Frobenius-Schur endomorphisms. For a k-linear semisimple pivotal mono...
متن کاملSpace versus Time: Unimodular versus Non-Unimodular Projective Ring Geometries?
Finite projective (lattice) geometries defined over rings instead of fields have recently been recognized to be of great importance for quantum information theory. We believe that there is much more potential hidden in these geometries to be unleashed for physics. There exist specific rings over which the projective spaces feature two principally distinct kinds of basic constituents (points and...
