On non-semisimple fusion rules and tensor categories

چکیده
Category theoretic aspects of non-rational conformal field theories are discussed. We consider the case that the category C of chiral sectors is a finite tensor category, i.e. a rigid monoidal category whose class of objects has certain finiteness properties. Besides the simple objects, the indecomposable projective objects of C are of particular interest. The fusion rules of C can be block-diagonalized. A conjectural connection between the block-diagonalization and modular transformations of characters of modules over vertex algebras is exemplified with the case of the (1,p) minimal models. hep-th/0602051

A Reason for Fusion Rules to Be Even
We show that certain tensor product multiplicities in semisimple braided sovereign tensor categories must be even. The quantity governing this behavior is the Frobenius--Schur indicator. The result applies in particular to the representation categories of large classes of groups, Lie algebras, Hopf algebras and vertex algebras.
متن کاملFinite Tensor Categories
We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i. e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D. Nikshych. In particular, we generalize to the categorical setting the Hopf and quasi-Hopf algebra freeness theorems due to Nichols–Zoeller and Schauenburg, respectively. We also gi...
متن کاملDual pairs and tensor categories of modules over Lie algebras ̂ gl ∞ and W 1 + ∞
We introduce a tensor category O+ (resp. O−) of certain modules of ĝl∞ with non-negative (resp. non-positive) integral central charges with the usual tensor product. We also introduce a tensor category (Of , ⊙ ) consisting of certain modules over GL(N) for all N . We show that the tensor categories O± and Of are semisimple abelian and all equivalent to each other. We give a formula to decompose...
متن کاملOn Braided Tensor Categories of Type Bcd
We give a full classification of all braided semisimple tensor categories whose Grothendieck semiring is the one of Rep ( O(∞) ) (formally), Rep ( O(N) ) , Rep ( Sp(N) ) , or of one of its associated fusion categories. If the braiding is not symmetric, they are completely determined by the eigenvalues of a certain braiding morphism, and we determine precisely which values can occur in the vario...
متن کاملA Canonical Tannaka Duality for Finite Semisimple Tensor Categories
For each finite semisimple tensor category, we associate a quantum group (face algebra) whose comodule category is equivalent to the original one, in a simple natural manner. To do this, we also give a generalization of the Tannaka-Krein duality, which assigns a face algebra for each tensor category equipped with an embedding into a certain kind of bimodule category.
