Frobenius-schur Indicators for a Class of Fusion Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an explicit description, up to gauge equivalence, of group-theoretical quasi-Hopf algebras. We use this description to compute the Frobenius-Schur indicators for grouptheoretical fusion categories.

Computing Higher Frobenius-schur Indicators in Fusion Categories Constructed from Inclusions of Finite Groups
We consider a subclass of the class of group-theoretical fusion categories: To every finite group G and subgroup H one can associate the category of G-graded vector spaces with a two-sided H-action compatible with the grading. We derive a formula that computes higher Frobenius-Schur indicators for the objects in such a category using the combinatorics and representation theory of the groups inv...
متن کاملA Higher Frobenius-schur Indicator Formula for Group-theoretical Fusion Categories
Group-theoretical fusion categories are defined by data concerning finite groups and their cohomology: A finite group G endowed with a three-cocycle ω, and a subgroup H ⊂ G endowed with a two-cochain whose coboundary is the restriction of ω. The objects of the category are G-graded vector spaces with suitably twisted H-actions; the associativity of tensor products is controlled by ω. Simple obj...
متن کاملS4-symmetry of 6j-symbols and Frobenius--Schur indicators in rigid monoidal C-categories
We show that a left-rigid monoidal C-category with irreducible monoidal unit is also a sovereign and spherical category. Defining a Frobenius--Schur type indicator we obtain selection rules for the fusion coefficients of irreducible objects. As a main result we prove S4-invariance of 6j-symbols in such a category.
متن کاملFrobenius-schur Indicators and Exponents of Spherical Categories
We obtain two formulae for the higher Frobenius-Schur indicators: one for a spherical fusion category in terms of the twist of its center and the other one for a modular tensor category in terms of its twist. The first one is a categorical generalization of an analogous result by Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu for Hopf algebras, and the second one extends Bantay’s 2nd indicator formula for a co...
متن کاملCentral Invariants and Higher Indicators for Semisimple Quasi-hopf Algebras
In this paper, we define the higher Frobenius-Schur (FS-)indicators for finite-dimensional modules of a semisimple quasi-Hopf algebra H via the categorical counterpart developed in a 2005 preprint. When H is an ordinary Hopf algebra, we show that our definition coincides with that introduced by Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu. We find a sequence of gauge invariant central elements of H such that...
