We construct a long exact sequence computing the obstruction space, pi_1(BrPic(C_0)), to G-graded extensions of a fusion category C_0. The other terms in the sequence can be computed directly from the fusion ring of C_0. We apply our result to several examples coming from small index subfactors, thereby constructing several new fusion categories as G-extensions. The most striking of these is a Z/2Z-extension of one of the Asaeda-Haagerup fusion categories, which is one of only two known 3…

In this short mostly expository note, we sketch a program for gauging fully extended topological field theories in 3 dimensions. One begins with the spherical fusion category with which one wants to
A Cuntz algebra approach to the classification of near-group categories
We classify C$^*$ near-group categories by using Vaughan Jones theory of subfactors and the Cuntz algebra endomorphisms. Our results show that there is a sharp contrast between two essentially
Third Cohomology and Fusion Categories
• Mathematics

It was observed recently that for a fixed finite group $G$, the set of all Drinfeld centres of $G$ twisted by 3-cocycles form a group, the so-called group of modular extensions (of the representation
Equivalences of Graded Categories
We further the techniques developed by Etingof, Nikshych, and Ostrik in order to classify the $\mathcal{C}$-based equivalences between two $G$-graded extensions of $\mathcal{C}$. The main result of

We classify certain Z2-graded extensions of generalized Haagerup categories in terms of numerical invariants satisfying polynomial equations. In particular, we construct a number of new examples of
Type $II$ quantum subgroups of $\mathfrak{sl}_N$. $I$: Symmetries of local modules

This paper is the first of a pair that aims to classify a large number of the type II quantum subgroups of the categories C(slr+1, k). In this work we classify the braided autoequivalences of the
Classification of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-quadratic unitary fusion categories
• Mathematics
• 2021
A unitary fusion category is called Z/2Z-quadratic if it has a Z/2Z group of invertible objects and one other orbit of simple objects under the action of this group. We give a complete classification
Drinfeld centers for bicategories

We generalize Drinfeld's notion of the center of a tensor category to bicategories. In this generality, we present a spectral sequence to compute the basic invariants of Drinfeld centers: the abelian

The classification of subfactors of small index revealed several new subfactors. The first subfactor above index 4, the Haagerup subfactor, is increasingly well understood and appears to lie in a
Existence of the AH + 2 subfactor
We give two different proofs of the existence of the $AH+2$ subfactor, which is a $3$-supertransitive self-dual subfactor with index $\frac{9+\sqrt{17}}{2}$. The first proof is a direct construction
