Is there a "killing" lemma for G-crossed braided fusion categories?
Edit: I found a serious flaw in the question and my answer, and I had to change a lot. The basic question is still there, but the details are a lot different.
Premodular categories
In braided ...

What is a true invariant of $G$-crossed braided fusion categories?
Definition. An invariant of a (spherical) fusion category with extra structure is a number or a set or tuple of numbers preserved under (appropriate) equivalences.
(Spherical) fusion categories have ...

R-matrices and symmetric fusion categories
Given a $\mathbb{C}$-linear braided fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ containing a fusion rule of the form e.g.
\begin{equation}X\otimes Y\cong A\oplus B \oplus C\end{equation}
(where $A,B, C, X$ and $Y$ ...

Morita equivalent algebras in a fusion category
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a braided $\mathbb{k}$-linear fusion category ($\mathbb{k}$ algebraically closed; if necessary to answer my question you can also assume $\mathcal{C}$ to be pivotal or even ...

When is the endofunctor category of a monoidal category braided? When is it ribbon? Fusion? Modular?
Given a category $\mathcal{C}$, we can define the category of endofunctors $\operatorname{Cat}(\mathcal{C})$, with objects functors $F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{C}$ and morphisms natural ...

On the existence of a square root for a modular tensor category
The center $Z(\mathcal{C})$ of a spherical fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ (over $\mathbb{C}$) is a modular tensor category.
Question: What about the converse, i.e., can we characterize every modular ...

Is every premodular category the *full* subcategory of a modular category?
In Müger's article "Conformal Field Theory and Doplicher-Roberts Reconstruction", he defines the "modular closure" of a braided monoidal category. So every braided monoidal category (and therefore ...

Does a fusion ring with F and R-symbols uniquely determine a braided tensor category?
Background : In mathematical physics, 'anyons' in (2+1) dimensional systems are described by braided tensor categories. The anyon types correspond to the irreducible objects of the category. From such ...

Can a braided fusion category have an order-2 Morita equivalence class which cannot be simultaneously connected and isomorphic to its opposite?
Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a braided fusion category over $\mathbb{C}$. Let me write $\mathrm{Alg}(\mathcal{B})$ for the set of isomorphism classes of unital associative algebra objects in $\mathcal{B}$, ...

When modular tensor categories are equivalent?
I asked this question at math stack exchange math stack exchange but I haven't got any answer yet there.
I would like to know when we say that two modular tensor categories are equivalent.
Is it ...

How does the relative Drinfeld center interact with the relative Deligne tensor product?
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a fusion category, and $\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N}$ semisimple $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$-bimodule categories. The left $\mathcal{C}$-action is denoted as $- \triangleright - \...

How nontrivial can "central extensions of ribbon fusion categories" be?
In a sense, this is a follow up on this question, but one PhD programme later.
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be ribbon fusion. By $\mathcal{C}'$, we denote the symmetric centre, i.e. the full subcategory of ...

Modularisation on group representations with arbitrary braiding
Applying the modularisation/deequivariantisation procedure to the representation category $\operatorname{Rep}_G$ of a finite group $G$ with trivial braiding gives the fibre functor to vector spaces. ...
