Drinfeld Center and Representation Theory for Monoidal Categories [PDF]
Motivated by the relation between the Drinfeld double and central property (T) for quantum groups, given a rigid C*-tensor category C and a unitary half-braiding on an ind-object, we construct a *-representation of the fusion algebra of C. This allows us to present an alternative approach to recent results of Popa and Vaes, who defined C*-algebras of ...

On continuous 2-category symmetries and Yang-Mills theory [PDF]
We study a 4d gauge theory U(1)N−1 ⋊ SN obtained from a U(1)N−1 theory by gauging a 0-form symmetry SN. We show that this theory has a global continuous 2-category symmetry, whose structure is particularly rich for N > 2. This example allows us to draw a

On the spectrum and support theory of a finite tensor category [PDF]
Finite tensor categories (FTCs) $\bf T$ are important generalizations of the categories of finite dimensional modules of finite dimensional Hopf algebras, which play a key role in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics.

The center of monoidal 2-categories in 3+1D Dijkgraaf-Witten theory [PDF]
In this work, for a finite group $G$ and a 4-cocycle $ \in Z^4(G, \mathbf{k}^\times)$, we compute explicitly the center of the monoidal 2-category $\operatorname{2Vec}_G^ $ of $ $-twisted $G$-graded 1-categories of finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-vector spaces.

Support theory for Drinfeld doubles of some infinitesimal group schemes [PDF]
Consider a Frobenius kernel G in a split semisimple algebraic group, in very good characteristic. We provide an analysis of support for the Drinfeld center Z(rep(G)) of the representation category for G, or equivalently for the representation category of

Aspects of categorical symmetries from branes: SymTFTs and generalized charges [PDF]
Recently it has been observed that branes in geometric engineering and holography have a striking connection with generalized global symmetries. In this paper we argue that branes, in a certain topological limit, not only furnish the symmetry generators,

A mathematical theory of gapless edges of 2d topological orders. Part I [PDF]
This is the first part of a two-part work on a unified mathematical theory of gapped and gapless edges of 2d topological orders. We analyze all the possible observables on the 1+1D world sheet of a chiral gapless edge of a 2d topological order, and show ...

Fundamental properties of rhythm sequences [PDF]
AbstractFundamental mathematical properties of rhythm sequences are studied. In particular, a set of three axioms for valid rhythm indicators is proposed, and it is shown that the R‐indicator satisfies only two out of three but that the R′‐indicator satisfies all three.
