Introduction
The classification of fusion categories is a structural problem at the meeting point of representation theory, quantum topology, conformal field theory, subfactor theory, and the mathematical theory of anyons. The Grothendieck ring makes the fusion rules discrete and computable, but it does not determine an associator: the pentagon equations impose additional, highly restrictive constraints. Consequently, a fusion ring may satisfy every evident numerical condition and still admit no categorification. Exact analyses of small and structured families are therefore valuable both for the classification program and for producing reliable algebraic models for topological and physical constructions.
Tambara–Yamagami categories are canonical nonpointed examples in which all but one simple object are invertible and the remaining object has Frobenius–Perron dimension ∣ G ∣ \sqrt{|G|} ∣ G ∣ [43 ] . They are explicit enough for detailed calculations, while already displaying irrational dimensions, nontrivial associativity, and arithmetic constraints. Near-integral fusion categories, formed by adjoining one simple object to a proper maximal-rank fusion subcategory [28 ] , provide a natural next layer of complexity. The near-Tambara–Yamagami case is especially well suited to a complete study: the Tambara–Yamagami subcategory supplies strong symmetry, whereas the extra simple object creates a sharp test of categorifiability.
Following [28 ] , we write C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) for such a near-Tambara–Yamagami category, where D \mathcal D D is nonpointed. We denote by G G G the group of invertible objects of D \mathcal D D , by t t t its unique noninvertible simple object, and by ρ \rho ρ the unique simple object of C ∖ D \mathcal C\setminus\mathcal D C ∖ D . The fusion rules are
∣ G ∣ = n 2 , FPdim ( t ) = n , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ , |G|=n^2,\qquad \operatorname{FPdim}(t)=n,\qquad
\rho\otimes \rho\cong \bigoplus_{g\in G}g\oplus n t\oplus\kappa \rho, ∣ G ∣ = n 2 , FPdim ( t ) = n , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ g ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ ,
so that, for d = FPdim ( ρ ) d=\operatorname{FPdim}(\rho) d = FPdim ( ρ ) ,
d 2 = κ d + 2 n 2 . d^2=\kappa d+2n^2. d 2 = κ d + 2 n 2 .
Our first result reduces the numerical possibilities to rank six. The following table records the candidates produced by the formal-codegree and indicator arguments; the irrational candidate κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 is ruled out later by Theorem 3.24 .
Theorem 1.1. Let C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) be a near-Tambara–Yamagami fusion category over C \mathbb C C , with D \mathcal D D nonpointed. The numerical analysis gives n = 2 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , rank ( C ) = 6 , n=2,\qquad G\cong C_2\times C_2,\qquad \operatorname{rank}(\mathcal C)=6, n = 2 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , rank ( C ) = 6 , and the following candidate values: κ d FPdim ( C ) 0 2 2 16 8 4 + 2 6 48 + 16 6 2 4 24 7 8 72 \begin{array}{c|c|c}
\kappa&d&\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C)\\\hline
0&2\sqrt2&16\\
8&4+2\sqrt6&48+16\sqrt6\\
2&4&24\\
7&8&72
\end{array} κ 0 8 2 7 d 2 2 4 + 2 6 4 8 FPdim ( C ) 16 48 + 16 6 24 72 The first two rows arise in the irrational case and the last two in the integral case. The candidate κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 is impossible by Theorem 3.24 .
The irrational analysis is carried out in § 3 . Formal codegrees first force n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and κ \kappa κ to be a multiple of eight. For positive multiples of eight, a Galois reflection on the Drinfeld center, together with two Frobenius–Schur indicator traces, produces simultaneous constraints on sums of roots of unity. A quadratic trace bound leaves only κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 after the zero parameter has been separated. The subsequent cyclotomic moment argument excludes that remaining candidate. The zero-parameter categories are covered by the rank-one odd-component extension list of Choi–Lu–Sun [24 ] .
§ 4 treats the integral case independently. An integral parametrization gives two branches. The first branch leads to a Tannakian subcategory and a finite group with a normal subgroup whose nonidentity elements are conjugate; the second leads to a sharply doubly transitive group. The first branch uses the braided Tambara–Yamagami restriction and elementary arithmetic; the second uses the order bound on G G G . Both force n = 2 n=2 n = 2 , leaving κ = 7 \kappa=7 κ = 7 and κ = 2 \kappa=2 κ = 2 , respectively.
The numerical result does not by itself classify associators. We therefore state the categorical conclusions separately. The parameter 7 7 7 is realized by Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 ) ) \operatorname{Rep}(\operatorname{PSU}(3,2)) Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 )) . For κ = 2 \kappa=2 κ = 2 , § 4.2 constructs an explicit unitary group-theoretical fusion category with the fusion ring R 2 R_2 R 2 .
For κ ∈ Z ≥ 0 \kappa\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0} κ ∈ Z ≥ 0 , let R κ R_\kappa R κ be the based ring with basis G ∪ { t , ρ } G\cup\{t,\rho\} G ∪ { t , ρ } , where G = C 2 × C 2 G=C_2\times C_2 G = C 2 × C 2 , group multiplication on G G G , and
g t = t g = t , g ρ = ρ g = ρ ( g ∈ G ) , t 2 = ∑ g ∈ G g , t ρ = ρ t = 2 ρ , ρ 2 = ∑ g ∈ G g + 2 t + κ ρ . \begin{equation}
\begin{gathered}
gt=tg=t,\qquad g\rho=\rho g=\rho\quad(g\in G),\qquad
t^2=\sum_{g\in G}g,\\
t\rho=\rho t=2\rho,\qquad
\rho^2=\sum_{g\in G}g+2t+\kappa\rho.
\end{gathered} \tag*{(1.1)}
\end{equation} g t = t g = t , g ρ = ρ g = ρ ( g ∈ G ) , t 2 = g ∈ G ∑ g , tρ = ρt = 2 ρ , ρ 2 = g ∈ G ∑ g + 2 t + κ ρ . (1.1)
The following theorem classifies the categorifiable based rings in the family and records the available categorical conclusions.
Theorem 1.2. Let C \mathcal C C be a fusion category over C \mathbb C C containing a nonpointed Tambara–Yamagami fusion subcategory D \mathcal D D and exactly one simple object outside D \mathcal D D . Then rank ( D ) = 5 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , K 0 ( C ) ≅ R κ for κ ∈ { 0 , 2 , 7 } . \operatorname{rank}(\mathcal D)=5,\qquad G\cong C_2\times C_2,\qquad
K_0(\mathcal C)\cong R_\kappa\quad\text{for }\kappa\in\{0,2,7\}. rank ( D ) = 5 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , K 0 ( C ) ≅ R κ for κ ∈ { 0 , 2 , 7 } . Each of these three based rings is categorifiable. More precisely:
For κ = 0 \kappa=0 κ = 0 , every such category is tensor equivalent to an entry in the eight-solution list of rank-one odd-component extensions of Rep ( H 8 ) \operatorname{Rep}(H_8) Rep ( H 8 ) in [24 Section 7 and Appendix C] ; see Theorem 3.13 for the precise scope of this assertion.
For κ = 2 \kappa=2 κ = 2 , Theorem 4.12 provides an explicit unitary group-theoretical categorification.
For κ = 7 \kappa=7 κ = 7 , Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 ) ) \operatorname{Rep}(\operatorname{PSU}(3,2)) Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 )) is a categorification, as in Example 2.1 .
The dimensions are κ FPdim ( t ) FPdim ( ρ ) FPdim ( C ) 0 2 2 2 16 2 2 4 24 7 2 8 72. \begin{array}{c|c|c|c}

\end{array} κ 0 2 7 FPdim ( t ) 2 2 2 FPdim ( ρ ) 2 2 4 8 FPdim ( C ) 16 24 72. For κ = 2 , 7 \kappa=2,7 κ = 2 , 7 , the assertion concerns based-ring isomorphism and existence, not classification of all realizations up to tensor equivalence.
Preliminaries
Pseudo-unitary fusion categories
Throughout, let C \mathcal C C be a fusion category over the field of complex numbers C \mathbb{C} C . We choose representatives
Irr ( C ) = { X 1 = 1 , X 2 , … , X n } \operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C)=\{X_1=\mathbf 1,X_2,\ldots,X_n\} Irr ( C ) = { X 1 = 1 , X 2 , … , X n }
for the isomorphism classes of simple objects, with 1 \mathbf 1 1 denoting the tensor unit. They form the canonical Z \mathbb Z Z -basis of the Grothendieck ring K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) , and all structure constants relative to this basis are nonnegative integers.
For simple objects X , Y X,Y X , Y , write the tensor-product decomposition in the form
X ⊗ Y ≅ ⨁ Z ∈ Irr ( C ) N X Y Z Z . X\otimes Y\cong
\bigoplus_{Z\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C)}N_{XY}^{Z} Z. X ⊗ Y ≅ Z ∈ Irr ( C ) ⨁ N X Y Z Z .
The nonnegative integer N X Y Z N_{XY}^{Z} N X Y Z is the fusion coefficient, namely the multiplicity of Z Z Z in X ⊗ Y X\otimes Y X ⊗ Y . The multiplicity of C \mathcal C C is the maximum of these integers as X , Y , Z X,Y,Z X , Y , Z range over Irr ( C ) \operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C) Irr ( C ) . Rigidity yields the Frobenius reciprocity relations
N X Y Z = N Z Y ∗ X = N X ∗ Z Y = N Y ∗ X ∗ Z ∗ , X , Y , Z ∈ Irr ( C ) . N_{XY}^{Z}
=N_{Z\,Y^*}^{X}
=N_{X^*\,Z}^{Y}
=N_{Y^*\,X^*}^{Z^*},
\qquad X,Y,Z\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C). N X Y Z = N Z Y ∗ X = N X ∗ Z Y = N Y ∗ X ∗ Z ∗ , X , Y , Z ∈ Irr ( C ) .
For each X ∈ Irr ( C ) X\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C) X ∈ Irr ( C ) , let N X N_X N X be the fusion matrix whose entries are given by
( N X ) Y Z = N X Y Z , Y , Z ∈ Irr ( C ) . (N_X)_{Y}^{\,Z}=N_{XY}^{Z},
\qquad Y,Z\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C). ( N X ) Y Z = N X Y Z , Y , Z ∈ Irr ( C ) .
Its Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue is positive and is, by definition, the Frobenius–Perron dimension of X X X , denoted by FPdim ( X ) \operatorname{FPdim}(X) FPdim ( X ) . The Frobenius–Perron theorem, together with [33 Theorem 8.6] , shows that these numbers extend uniquely to a ring homomorphism FPdim : K 0 ( C ) ⟶ R \operatorname{FPdim}:K_0(\mathcal C)\longrightarrow\mathbb R FPdim : K 0 ( C ) ⟶ R . The Frobenius–Perron dimension of C \mathcal C C is
FPdim ( C ) = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( C ) FPdim ( X ) 2 . \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C)
=\sum_{X\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C)}\operatorname{FPdim}(X)^2. FPdim ( C ) = X ∈ Irr ( C ) ∑ FPdim ( X ) 2 .
A pivotal structure on C \mathcal C C is a monoidal natural isomorphism i : Id C ⟹ ( − ) ∗ ∗ i:\operatorname{Id}_{\mathcal C}\Longrightarrow(-)^{**} i : Id C ⟹ ( − ) ∗∗ , where ( − ) ∗ (-)^* ( − ) ∗ denotes the duality functor. Its pivotal trace defines dim ( X ) \dim(X) dim ( X ) . The intrinsic global dimension is
dim ( C ) = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( C ) dim ( X ) dim ( X ∗ ) \dim(\mathcal C)=\sum_{X\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C)}\dim(X)\dim(X^*) dim ( C ) = X ∈ Irr ( C ) ∑ dim ( X ) dim ( X ∗ )
by [33 Proposition 2.9] . A pivotal structure is spherical when dim ( X ) = dim ( X ∗ ) \dim(X)=\dim(X^*) dim ( X ) = dim ( X ∗ ) for every simple X X X ; only then may this formula be written as ∑ X dim ( X ) 2 \sum_X\dim(X)^2 ∑ X dim ( X ) 2 . A fusion category is pseudo-unitary if its intrinsic global dimension equals its Frobenius–Perron dimension. It then has a unique spherical structure with dim ( X ) = FPdim ( X ) > 0 \dim(X)=\operatorname{FPdim}(X)>0 dim ( X ) = FPdim ( X ) > 0 for every simple X X X [33 Proposition 8.23] . We use this positive spherical structure whenever working with a pseudo-unitary category. Unitarity is a stronger property and will be established separately where it is needed.
The Drinfeld center
We will also use the Drinfeld center Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) of a fusion category C \mathcal C C . Its objects are pairs ( Z , c Z , − ) (Z,c_{Z,-}) ( Z , c Z , − ) , where Z Z Z is an object of C \mathcal C C and c Z , X : Z ⊗ X → X ⊗ Z c_{Z,X}:Z\otimes X\to X\otimes Z c Z , X : Z ⊗ X → X ⊗ Z is a half-braiding, natural in X ∈ C X\in\mathcal C X ∈ C and satisfying the usual compatibility with tensor products. The center is a braided fusion category; in the standard spherical situation it is modular.
A principal tool that we will use is induction-restriction to the Drinfeld center. There is a forgetful functor F : Z ( C ) → C F:\mathcal Z(\mathcal C)\to\mathcal C F : Z ( C ) → C , which sends ( Z , c Z , − ) (Z,c_{Z,-}) ( Z , c Z , − ) to its underlying object Z Z Z . This functor has a right adjoint I : C → Z ( C ) I:\mathcal C\to\mathcal Z(\mathcal C) I : C → Z ( C ) , usually called the induction functor. Thus, for every X ∈ C X\in\mathcal C X ∈ C and Y ∈ Z ( C ) Y\in\mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Y ∈ Z ( C ) , there is a natural isomorphism Hom Z ( C ) ( Y , I ( X ) ) ≅ Hom C ( F ( Y ) , X ) \operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal Z(\mathcal C)}(Y,I(X)) \cong \operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(F(Y),X) Hom Z ( C ) ( Y , I ( X )) ≅ Hom C ( F ( Y ) , X ) .
The underlying object of an induced object admits the standard description [33 Proposition 5.4] :
Because the forgetful functor preserves Frobenius–Perron dimensions, this formula gives
FPdim ( I ( X ) ) = FPdim ( X ) FPdim ( C ) . \begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\operatorname{FPdim}(I(X))=\operatorname{FPdim}(X)\,\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C).
\end{aligned} \tag*{(2.2)}
\end{equation} FPdim ( I ( X )) = FPdim ( X ) FPdim ( C ) . (2.2)
Throughout, we write [ A , B ] = dim C Hom ( A , B ) [A,B]=\dim_{\mathbb C}\operatorname{Hom}(A,B) [ A , B ] = dim C Hom ( A , B ) for A , B A,B A , B in a fusion category C \mathcal C C . Thus [ A , B ] [A,B] [ A , B ] is exactly the multiplicity of B B B in A A A when B B B is simple. Further, if we denote [ I ( X ) , Z ] [I(X),Z] [ I ( X ) , Z ] by m X ( Z ) m_X(Z) m X ( Z ) , we get
[ Y , I ( X ) ] = [ F ( Y ) , X ] , [ I ( X ) , I ( Y ) ] = ∑ Z m X ( Z ) m Y ( Z ) . \begin{equation}
\begin{split}
[Y,I(X)]&=[F(Y),X],\\
[I(X),I(Y)]&=\sum_Zm_X(Z)m_Y(Z).
\end{split} \tag*{(2.3)}
\end{equation} [ Y , I ( X )] [ I ( X ) , I ( Y )] = [ F ( Y ) , X ] , = Z ∑ m X ( Z ) m Y ( Z ) . (2.3)
A twist of a braided category C \mathcal C C is a natural automorphism θ : id C → id C \theta:\operatorname{id}_{\mathcal C}\to \operatorname{id}_{\mathcal C} θ : id C → id C satisfying θ 1 = id 1 \theta_1=\operatorname{id}_1 θ 1 = id 1 and θ X ⊗ Y = ( θ X ⊗ θ Y ) c Y , X c X , Y \theta_{X\otimes Y}=(\theta_X\otimes \theta_Y)c_{Y,X}c_{X,Y} θ X ⊗ Y = ( θ X ⊗ θ Y ) c Y , X c X , Y . Let X X X be a simple object of C \mathcal C C . Then θ X \theta_X θ X is a scalar in C \mathbb{C} C . It is well-known that any modular category is equipped with a twist θ \theta θ such that θ X \theta_X θ X is a root of unity for any X ∈ Irr ( C ) X\in \operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C) X ∈ Irr ( C ) [44 ] .
When using spherical traces in the center, put Δ = dim ( C ) \Delta=\dim(\mathcal C) Δ = dim ( C ) ; in the positive spherical structure, Δ = FPdim ( C ) \Delta=\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C) Δ = FPdim ( C ) . For the canonical twist of the Drinfeld center Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) ,
θ I ( 1 ) = id , Tr ( θ I ( X ) j ) = ν j ( X ) Δ ( j ≥ 1 ) , \begin{equation}
\theta_{I(\mathbf 1)}=\operatorname{id},\qquad
\operatorname{Tr}(\theta_{I(X)}^j)=\nu_j(X)\Delta\quad(j\geq1), \tag*{(2.4)}
\end{equation} θ I ( 1 ) = id , Tr ( θ I ( X ) j ) = ν j ( X ) Δ ( j ≥ 1 ) , (2.4)
where ν j ( X ) \nu_j(X) ν j ( X ) is the j j j th Frobenius–Schur indicator of X X X . These facts follow from [39 Proposition 2.4 and Theorem 2.5] and [38 Theorem 4.1] . For simple X ≠ 1 X\ne \mathbf 1 X = 1 , ν 1 ( X ) = 0 \nu_1(X)=0 ν 1 ( X ) = 0 ; ν 2 ( X ) \nu_2(X) ν 2 ( X ) is 0 0 0 if X X X is not self-dual, and is ± 1 \pm1 ± 1 otherwise. All simple twists in the Drinfeld center Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) are roots of unity.
We consistently write S \mathsf S S for the unnormalized S S S -matrix of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) , so S 1 , Z = dim Z \mathsf S_{\mathbf 1,Z}=\dim Z S 1 , Z = dim Z , and S = S / Δ S=\mathsf S/\Delta S = S /Δ for the normalized matrix. The balancing identity is
S V , W = 1 θ V θ W ∑ Z [ V ⊗ W , Z ] θ Z dim Z . \begin{equation}
\mathsf S_{V,W}=\frac{1}{\theta_V\theta_W}
\sum_Z[V\otimes W,Z]\theta_Z\dim Z. \tag*{(2.5)}
\end{equation} S V , W = θ V θ W 1 Z ∑ [ V ⊗ W , Z ] θ Z dim Z . (2.5)
When K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) is commutative, each irreducible character χ \chi χ corresponds to a multiplicity-one simple summand Z χ Z_\chi Z χ of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) . Writing f χ = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( C ) χ ( X ) χ ( X ∗ ) f_\chi=\sum_{X\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal C)}\chi(X)\chi(X^*) f χ = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( C ) χ ( X ) χ ( X ∗ ) , one has
dim Z χ = Δ f χ , θ Z χ = 1 , S Z χ , W = dim ( Z χ ) χ ( F ( W ) ) , S Z χ , W = χ ( F ( W ) ) f χ . \begin{equation}
\dim Z_\chi=\frac{\Delta}{f_\chi},\qquad
\theta_{Z_\chi}=1,\qquad
\mathsf S_{Z_\chi,W}=\dim(Z_\chi)\chi(F(W)),\qquad
S_{Z_\chi,W}=\frac{\chi(F(W))}{f_\chi}. \tag*{(2.6)}
\end{equation} dim Z χ = f χ Δ , θ Z χ = 1 , S Z χ , W = dim ( Z χ ) χ ( F ( W )) , S Z χ , W = f χ χ ( F ( W )) . (2.6)
These are the formal-codegree correspondence and the pullback character identity in [39 Section 2.3, Example 2.9, and Theorem 2.13] . The normalization in (2.6) will also be used for the Galois action on S S S .
Near-Tambara–Yamagami categories
Inspired by near-group fusion categories, the authors [28 ] refer to fusion categories C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal{C}=\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{D},\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) that admit a proper fusion subcategory D \mathcal{D} D of maximal rank as near-integral. In this paper, we consider the case that D \mathcal D D is a Tambara–Yamagami category. In this case, we call C \mathcal C C a near-Tambara–Yamagami category.
Example 2.1. The category Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 ) ) \operatorname{Rep}(\operatorname{PSU}(3,2)) Rep ( PSU ( 3 , 2 )) is a near-Tambara–Yamagami category; see [28 Example 3.7 and Figure 4] for its character table. Write G 7 = PSU ( 3 , 2 ) G_7=\operatorname{PSU}(3,2) G 7 = PSU ( 3 , 2 ) . The irreducible complex representations of G 7 G_7 G 7 are denoted by
1 , λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 , t , ρ , \mathbf{1},\quad \lambda_1,\quad \lambda_2,\quad \lambda_3,\quad
t,\quad \rho, 1 , λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 , t , ρ , with dimensions
dim ( 1 ) = dim ( λ i ) = 1 , dim ( t ) = 2 , dim ( ρ ) = 8. \dim(\mathbf{1})=\dim(\lambda_i)=1,\qquad
\dim(t)=2,\qquad
\dim(\rho)=8. dim ( 1 ) = dim ( λ i ) = 1 , dim ( t ) = 2 , dim ( ρ ) = 8. The fusion rules of Rep ( G 7 ) \operatorname{Rep}(G_7) Rep ( G 7 ) are given by
λ i ⊗ λ j ≅ ( λ i λ j ) , λ i ⊗ t ≅ t , t ⊗ t ≅ 1 ⊕ λ 1 ⊕ λ 2 ⊕ λ 3 , λ i ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ , t ⊗ ρ ≅ 2 ρ , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ 1 ⊕ λ 1 ⊕ λ 2 ⊕ λ 3 ⊕ 2 t ⊕ 7 ρ . \begin{align}
&\lambda_i\otimes\lambda_j
\cong (\lambda_i\lambda_j), \lambda_i\otimes t\cong t,
t\otimes t\cong
\mathbf{1}\oplus\lambda_1\oplus\lambda_2\oplus\lambda_3, \tag*{(2.7)} \\
\lambda_i\otimes \rho
&\cong \rho, t\otimes \rho\cong 2 \rho, \rho\otimes \rho
\cong \mathbf{1}\oplus\lambda_1\oplus\lambda_2\oplus\lambda_3
\oplus 2 t\oplus 7 \rho. \tag*{(2.8)}
\end{align} λ i ⊗ ρ λ i ⊗ λ j ≅ ( λ i λ j ) , λ i ⊗ t ≅ t , t ⊗ t ≅ 1 ⊕ λ 1 ⊕ λ 2 ⊕ λ 3 , ≅ ρ , t ⊗ ρ ≅ 2 ρ , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ 1 ⊕ λ 1 ⊕ λ 2 ⊕ λ 3 ⊕ 2 t ⊕ 7 ρ . (2.7) (2.8) Here λ i λ j \lambda_i\lambda_j λ i λ j denotes the product in the character group, and i , j ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } i,j\in\{1,2,3\} i , j ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } . Moreover,
λ 1 ⊗ λ 1 ≅ λ 2 ⊗ λ 2 ≅ λ 3 ⊗ λ 3 ≅ 1 , λ 1 ⊗ λ 2 ≅ λ 3 . \lambda_1\otimes \lambda_1\cong \lambda_2\otimes \lambda_2\cong \lambda_3\otimes \lambda_3\cong \mathbf{1},
\quad
\lambda_1\otimes\lambda_2\cong \lambda_3. λ 1 ⊗ λ 1 ≅ λ 2 ⊗ λ 2 ≅ λ 3 ⊗ λ 3 ≅ 1 , λ 1 ⊗ λ 2 ≅ λ 3 .
Throughout this subsection, C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal{C}=\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{D},\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) is a near-Tambara–Yamagami category. Let ρ \rho ρ denote the unique simple object not in D \mathcal{D} D . Frobenius reciprocity implies X ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ X ≅ FPdim ( X ) ρ X\otimes\rho\cong \rho\otimes X\cong \operatorname{FPdim}(X) \rho X ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ X ≅ FPdim ( X ) ρ for every simple X ∈ D X\in\mathcal D X ∈ D ; in particular, D \mathcal D D is integral. By [43 ] , the group G G G consisting of invertible simple objects of D \mathcal D D is abelian and the fusion rules are
g ⊗ t ≅ t ⊗ g ≅ t , g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ g ≅ ρ ( g ∈ G ) , ∣ G ∣ = n 2 , t ⊗ t ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g , t ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ t ≅ n ρ , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ . \begin{equation}
\begin{gathered}
g\otimes t\cong t\otimes g\cong t,\quad g\otimes\rho\cong \rho\otimes g\cong \rho\quad(g\in G),\qquad |G|=n^2,\\
t\otimes t\cong \bigoplus_{g\in G}g,\qquad t\otimes\rho\cong \rho\otimes t\cong n \rho,\qquad
\rho\otimes \rho\cong \bigoplus_{g\in G}g\oplus n t\oplus\kappa \rho.
\end{gathered} \tag*{(2.9)}
\end{equation} g ⊗ t ≅ t ⊗ g ≅ t , g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ g ≅ ρ ( g ∈ G ) , ∣ G ∣ = n 2 , t ⊗ t ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ g , t ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ t ≅ n ρ , ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ g ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ . (2.9)
Here t t t is the unique noninvertible simple object of D \mathcal D D , n = FPdim ( t ) ∈ Z ≥ 2 n=\operatorname{FPdim}(t)\in\mathbb Z_{\geq2} n = FPdim ( t ) ∈ Z ≥ 2 , κ ∈ Z ≥ 0 \kappa\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0} κ ∈ Z ≥ 0 , and both t t t and ρ \rho ρ are self-dual. The parameter κ \kappa κ is the coefficient of ρ \rho ρ in ρ 2 \rho^2 ρ 2 ; it need not be the maximum fusion coefficient. That maximum is max { n , κ } \max\{n,\kappa\} max { n , κ } , and is max { 2 , κ } \max\{2,\kappa\} max { 2 , κ } after the rank reduction. In particular, both R 0 R_0 R 0 and R 2 R_2 R 2 have maximum fusion coefficient two. Put
N = 2 n 2 , d = d + = κ + κ 2 + 8 n 2 2 , d − = κ − κ 2 + 8 n 2 2 . \begin{equation}
N=2n^2,\qquad d=d_+=\frac{\kappa+\sqrt{\kappa^2+8n^2}}2,
\qquad d_-=\frac{\kappa-\sqrt{\kappa^2+8n^2}}2. \tag*{(2.10)}
\end{equation} N = 2 n 2 , d = d + = 2 κ + κ 2 + 8 n 2 , d − = 2 κ − κ 2 + 8 n 2 . (2.10)
Then d d − = − N dd_-=-N d d − = − N , d 2 = κ d + N d^2=\kappa d+N d 2 = κ d + N , and Δ : = FPdim ( C ) = N + d 2 = 4 n 2 + κ d \Delta:=\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C)=N+d^2=4n^2+\kappa d Δ := FPdim ( C ) = N + d 2 = 4 n 2 + κ d . Since d d d is an algebraic integer, d ∉ Z d\notin\mathbb Z d ∈ / Z is equivalent to d ∉ Q d\notin\mathbb Q d ∈ / Q . We use “irrational” and “rational” in this sense; the rational case is precisely the integral case for C \mathcal C C .
By [28 Lemma 4.1] , a near-integral category is Galois conjugate to a pseudo-unitary category. Galois conjugation preserves fusion rules. We therefore use a pseudo-unitary conjugate whenever positivity of categorical dimensions is needed. Integral categories are already pseudo-unitary by [33 Proposition 8.24] , and all pseudo-unitary categories below carry their canonical positive spherical structures.
By ((2.1) ), we have
F ( I ( g ) ) ≅ n 2 g ⊕ ⨁ h ∈ G 2 h ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ , F ( I ( t ) ) ≅ ⨁ h ∈ G n h ⊕ 3 n 2 t ⊕ n κ ρ , F ( I ( ρ ) ) ≅ ⨁ h ∈ G κ h ⊕ n κ t ⊕ ( 4 n 2 + κ 2 ) ρ . \begin{equation}
\begin{split}
F(I(g))&\cong n^2 g\oplus\bigoplus_{h\in G}2 h\oplus n t\oplus\kappa \rho,\\
F(I(t))&\cong \bigoplus_{h\in G}n h\oplus 3n^2 t\oplus n\kappa \rho,\\
F(I(\rho))&\cong \bigoplus_{h\in G}\kappa h\oplus n\kappa t\oplus (4n^2+\kappa^2) \rho.
\end{split} \tag*{(2.11)}
\end{equation} F ( I ( g )) F ( I ( t )) F ( I ( ρ )) ≅ n 2 g ⊕ h ∈ G ⨁ 2 h ⊕ n t ⊕ κ ρ , ≅ h ∈ G ⨁ nh ⊕ 3 n 2 t ⊕ nκ ρ , ≅ h ∈ G ⨁ κh ⊕ nκ t ⊕ ( 4 n 2 + κ 2 ) ρ . (2.11)
For a tensor functor, its image means the full fusion subcategory generated by the simple constituents of its values. A tensor functor L : A → B L:\mathcal A\to\mathcal B L : A → B is dominant if every object of B \mathcal B B is a subobject of L ( X ) L(X) L ( X ) for some X ∈ A X\in\mathcal A X ∈ A . A tensor functor is dominant onto its image.
Lemma 2.2. The characters of K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) and their formal codegrees are g ∈ G t ρ f χ + 1 n d N + d 2 χ − 1 n d − N + d − 2 η 1 − n 0 N η ψ ψ ( g ) 0 0 n 2 \begin{array}{c|ccc|c}

\end{array} χ + χ − η η ψ g ∈ G 1 1 1 ψ ( g ) t n n − n 0 ρ d d − 0 0 f N + d 2 N + d − 2 N n 2 where ψ \psi ψ ranges over the nontrivial characters of G G G . The object I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) is multiplicity-free. Its summands corresponding to these characters have dimensions 1 , d 2 N = 1 + κ N d , 2 + κ N d , 4 + 2 κ N d ,

1 , N d 2 = 1 + N κ d , 2 + N κ d , 4 + N 2 κ d , respectively, the last with n 2 − 1 n^2-1 n 2 − 1 summands. Each forgetful image contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 exactly once.
Proof. If a character is nontrivial on G G G , the relations g ⊗ t ≅ t g\otimes t\cong t g ⊗ t ≅ t and g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ g\otimes\rho\cong \rho g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ force its values on t , ρ t,\rho t , ρ to vanish. Otherwise its value on t t t is ± n \pm n ± n ; the value − n -n − n forces the value on ρ \rho ρ to be zero, while n n n gives the two roots d , d − d,d_- d , d − . This lists all n 2 + 2 n^2+2 n 2 + 2 characters. Their codegrees are f χ = ∑ X χ ( X ) χ ( X ∗ ) f_\chi=\sum_X\chi(X)\chi(X^*) f χ = ∑ X χ ( X ) χ ( X ∗ ) . The formal-codegree theorem [39 Theorem 2.13] assigns a summand of dimension Δ / f χ \Delta/f_\chi Δ/ f χ to each character, with multiplicity one. The displayed dimensions follow from d d − = − N dd_-=-N d d − = − N ; the last statement is adjunction. ◻
Lemma 2.3. Every g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G satisfies ord ( g ) ≤ n \operatorname{ord}(g)\leq n ord ( g ) ≤ n . In particular, if n = 2 n=2 n = 2 then G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 .
Proof. The rank-one module category add ( ρ ) \operatorname{add}(\rho) add ( ρ ) is equivalent, as an abelian category, to Vec \operatorname{Vec} Vec . Under this equivalence, the action of X ∈ D X\in\mathcal D X ∈ D is tensoring with Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) \Phi(X)=\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(\rho,X\otimes\rho) Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) , and the module associativity maps give natural isomorphisms
Φ ( X ) ⊗ Φ ( Y ) → ∼ Φ ( X ⊗ Y ) , C → ∼ Φ ( 1 ) . \Phi(X)\otimes\Phi(Y)\xrightarrow{\ \sim\ }\Phi(X\otimes Y),
\qquad \mathbb C\xrightarrow{\ \sim\ }\Phi(\mathbf 1). Φ ( X ) ⊗ Φ ( Y ) ∼ Φ ( X ⊗ Y ) , C ∼ Φ ( 1 ) . On elementary tensors the first map sends f ⊗ g f\otimes g f ⊗ g to ( id X ⊗ g ) ∘ f (\operatorname{id}_X\otimes g)\circ f ( id X ⊗ g ) ∘ f . Thus Φ \Phi Φ is strong monoidal. In particular, it preserves duals, so Φ ( t ∗ ) ≅ Φ ( t ) ∗ \Phi(t^*)\cong\Phi(t)^* Φ ( t ∗ ) ≅ Φ ( t ) ∗ .
For the order estimate, let
Φ : D ⟶ Vec , Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) , \Phi:\mathcal D\longrightarrow\operatorname{Vec},\qquad
\Phi(X)=\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(\rho,X\otimes\rho), Φ : D ⟶ Vec , Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) , denote the functor just described. We use only its values and tensor structure in the argument below.
For g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G , g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ g\otimes\rho\cong\rho g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ , so
Φ ( g ) = Hom C ( ρ , g ⊗ ρ ) ≅ End C ( ρ ) ≅ C . \Phi(g)=\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(\rho,g\otimes\rho)
\cong\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal C}(\rho)\cong\mathbb C. Φ ( g ) = Hom C ( ρ , g ⊗ ρ ) ≅ End C ( ρ ) ≅ C . The first isomorphism uses any chosen isomorphism g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ g\otimes\rho\cong\rho g ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ; the last is Schur’s lemma. Hence Φ ( g ) \Phi(g) Φ ( g ) is one-dimensional. Likewise, with V = Φ ( t ) V=\Phi(t) V = Φ ( t ) ,
V ≅ Hom C ( ρ , n ρ ) ≅ C n , dim C V = n . V\cong\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(\rho,n \rho)\cong\mathbb C^n,
\qquad\dim_{\mathbb C}V=n. V ≅ Hom C ( ρ , n ρ ) ≅ C n , dim C V = n . Choose a nonzero vector v g ∈ Φ ( g ) v_g\in\Phi(g) v g ∈ Φ ( g ) ; this is a basis of that line. Choose an isomorphism ψ g : g ⊗ t → t \psi_g:g\otimes t\to t ψ g : g ⊗ t → t , which exists because g ⊗ t ≅ t g\otimes t\cong t g ⊗ t ≅ t . The induced map Φ ( g ) ⊗ V → Φ ( g ⊗ t ) \Phi(g)\otimes V\to\Phi(g\otimes t) Φ ( g ) ⊗ V → Φ ( g ⊗ t ) followed by Φ ( ψ g ) \Phi(\psi_g) Φ ( ψ g ) defines an invertible operator U g ∈ End C ( V ) U_g\in\operatorname{End}_{\mathbb C}(V) U g ∈ End C ( V ) . The choice of ψ g \psi_g ψ g is unique up to a nonzero scalar because t t t is simple. Normalize v 1 v_\mathbf 1 v 1 and ψ 1 \psi_\mathbf 1 ψ 1 so that U 1 = id V U_\mathbf 1=\operatorname{id}_V U 1 = id V .
For g , h ∈ G g,h\in G g , h ∈ G , both the composite of v g v_g v g and v h v_h v h and the chosen vector v g h v_{gh} v g h are nonzero elements of the one-dimensional space Φ ( g h ) \Phi(gh) Φ ( g h ) . Thus their ratio is a scalar c ( g , h ) ∈ C × c(g,h)\in\mathbb C^\times c ( g , h ) ∈ C × . Similarly, the two maps from ( g ⊗ h ) ⊗ t (g\otimes h)\otimes t ( g ⊗ h ) ⊗ t to t t t obtained from ψ g , ψ h \psi_g,\psi_h ψ g , ψ h and from ψ g h \psi_{gh} ψ g h differ by a nonzero scalar, since the relevant Hom space is one-dimensional. Applying Φ \Phi Φ and using monoidal coherence gives
U g U h = α ( g , h ) U g h , α ( g , h ) ∈ C × . U_gU_h=\alpha(g,h)U_{gh},\qquad \alpha(g,h)\in\mathbb C^\times. U g U h = α ( g , h ) U g h , α ( g , h ) ∈ C × . Associativity implies the cocycle identity for α \alpha α , so the U g U_g U g form a projective representation. Only the nonzero-scalar relation is needed below.
Rigidity gives Hom D ( g ⊗ t , t ) ≅ Hom D ( g , t ⊗ t ∗ ) \operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal D}(g\otimes t,t)\cong
\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal D}(g,t\otimes t^*) Hom D ( g ⊗ t , t ) ≅ Hom D ( g , t ⊗ t ∗ ) . Since t ⊗ t ∗ ≅ ⨁ h ∈ G h t\otimes t^*\cong\bigoplus_{h\in G}h t ⊗ t ∗ ≅ ⨁ h ∈ G h with each summand once, the map corresponding to ψ g \psi_g ψ g is a nonzero multiple of the inclusion of the g g g -summand. Therefore ⨁ g ∈ G g → t ⊗ t ∗ \bigoplus_{g\in G}g\to t\otimes t^* ⨁ g ∈ G g → t ⊗ t ∗ is an isomorphism. Applying the strong monoidal functor Φ \Phi Φ , and using Φ ( t ∗ ) ≅ V ∗ \Phi(t^*)\cong V^* Φ ( t ∗ ) ≅ V ∗ , gives
⨁ g ∈ G Φ ( g ) ≅ V ⊗ V ∗ ≅ End C ( V ) . \bigoplus_{g\in G}\Phi(g)\cong V\otimes V^*\cong\operatorname{End}_{\mathbb C}(V). g ∈ G ⨁ Φ ( g ) ≅ V ⊗ V ∗ ≅ End C ( V ) . Under the standard identification V ⊗ V ∗ ≅ End ( V ) V\otimes V^*\cong\operatorname{End}(V) V ⊗ V ∗ ≅ End ( V ) , the basis vector v g v_g v g maps to a nonzero scalar multiple of U g U_g U g . Consequently End C ( V ) = ⨁ g ∈ G C U g \operatorname{End}_{\mathbb C}(V)=\bigoplus_{g\in G}\mathbb CU_g End C ( V ) = ⨁ g ∈ G C U g , so the operators U g U_g U g are linearly independent.
If ℓ = ord ( g ) \ell=\operatorname{ord}(g) ℓ = ord ( g ) , repeated projective multiplication gives U g j = c j U g j U_g^j=c_jU_{g^j} U g j = c j U g j with c j ∈ C × c_j\in\mathbb C^\times c j ∈ C × . The operators id V , U g , … , U g ℓ − 1 \operatorname{id}_V,U_g,\ldots,U_g^{\ell-1} id V , U g , … , U g ℓ − 1 are therefore linearly independent. Cayley–Hamilton gives a nontrivial relation among the first n + 1 n+1 n + 1 powers of the n × n n\times n n × n matrix U g U_g U g . Hence ℓ ≤ n \ell\leq n ℓ ≤ n . When n = 2 n=2 n = 2 , ∣ G ∣ = 4 |G|=4 ∣ G ∣ = 4 and every nonidentity element has order at most two. Thus G G G is not cyclic and G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 . ◻
The irrational near-Tambara–Yamagami categories
Throughout this section, d ∉ Z d\notin\mathbb Z d ∈ / Z and the notation of § 2.3 is in force. For arguments depending only on the fusion rules we work in a pseudo-unitary Galois conjugate. In Theorem 3.13 , which concerns tensor equivalence, we return to the original category.
Proposition 3.1. One has n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and hence κ = 8 k \kappa=8k κ = 8 k for some k ∈ Z ≥ 0 k\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0} k ∈ Z ≥ 0 .
Proof. The second summand in (2.12) forgets to an object of dimension a + b d a+bd a + b d with a , b ∈ Z ≥ 0 a,b\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0} a , b ∈ Z ≥ 0 . Irrationality gives a = 1 a=1 a = 1 and b = κ / N b=\kappa/N b = κ / N . Hence κ = N k \kappa=Nk κ = N k with k ≥ 0 k\geq0 k ≥ 0 an integer. The rational parts of the dimensions of the summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) are 1 , 1 , 2 , 4 1,1,2,4 1 , 1 , 2 , 4 . Each forgetful image contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 . If n ≥ 4 n\geq4 n ≥ 4 , none can contain t t t , contradicting [ F ( I ( 1 ) ) , t ] = n [F(I(\mathbf 1)),t]=n [ F ( I ( 1 )) , t ] = n . Thus n ≤ 3 n\leq3 n ≤ 3 .
If n = 3 n=3 n = 3 , the unique summand of dimension 2 + k d 2+kd 2 + k d forgets to 1 ⊕ f ⊕ k ρ \mathbf 1\oplus f\oplus k \rho 1 ⊕ f ⊕ k ρ for some f ≠ 1 f\ne \mathbf 1 f = 1 . By [41 Corollary 5.8] , the fusion category C \mathcal C C is unimodular. Hence, by [41 Theorem 4.10(6)] , the right adjoint I I I of the forgetful functor F F F satisfies
I ( 1 ) ≅ I ( 1 ) ∗ . I(\mathbf 1)\cong I(\mathbf 1)^*. I ( 1 ) ≅ I ( 1 ) ∗ . Since the summand of dimension 2 + k d 2+kd 2 + k d occurs with multiplicity one and this dimension is unique among the summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) , that summand is fixed by duality and is therefore self-dual. Thus f = f − 1 f=f^{-1} f = f − 1 , impossible in a group of order nine. Therefore n = 2 n=2 n = 2 . ◻
The positive irrational parameter bound
The case where k k k is 0 0 0 will be discussed separately. All computations in this subsection assume k ≥ 1 k\geq1 k ≥ 1 .
By Proposition 3.1 , we may write κ = 8 k \kappa=8k κ = 8 k with k ≥ 1 k\geq1 k ≥ 1 , and set
r = 16 k 2 + 8 , q = 2 + k d , d = 4 k + r , d 2 = 8 k d + 8 , Δ = 8 q . \begin{equation}
r=\sqrt{16k^2+8},\qquad q=2+kd,\qquad
d=4k+r,\quad d^2=8kd+8,\quad\Delta=8q. \tag*{(3.1)}
\end{equation} r = 16 k 2 + 8 , q = 2 + k d , d = 4 k + r , d 2 = 8 k d + 8 , Δ = 8 q . (3.1)
Lemma 3.2. For x ∈ G x\in G x ∈ G one has F ( I ( x ) ) ≅ 4 x ⊕ ⨁ y ∈ G 2 y ⊕ 2 t ⊕ 8 k ρ , F ( I ( t ) ) ≅ ⨁ y ∈ G 2 y ⊕ 12 t ⊕ 16 k ρ , F ( I ( ρ ) ) ≅ ⨁ y ∈ G 8 k y ⊕ 16 k t ⊕ ( 16 + 64 k 2 ) ρ . \begin{aligned}
F(I(x))&\cong 4 x\oplus\bigoplus_{y\in G}2 y\oplus 2 t\oplus 8k \rho,\\
F(I(t))&\cong \bigoplus_{y\in G}2 y\oplus 12 t\oplus 16k \rho,\\
F(I(\rho))&\cong \bigoplus_{y\in G}8k y\oplus 16k t\oplus (16+64k^2) \rho.
\end{aligned} F ( I ( x )) F ( I ( t )) F ( I ( ρ )) ≅ 4 x ⊕ y ∈ G ⨁ 2 y ⊕ 2 t ⊕ 8 k ρ , ≅ y ∈ G ⨁ 2 y ⊕ 12 t ⊕ 16 k ρ , ≅ y ∈ G ⨁ 8 k y ⊕ 16 k t ⊕ ( 16 + 64 k 2 ) ρ . Write G = { 1 , f , g , h } G=\{\mathbf 1,f,g,h\} G = { 1 , f , g , h } and set M X , Y = [ I ( X ) , I ( Y ) ] M_{X,Y}=[I(X),I(Y)] M X , Y = [ I ( X ) , I ( Y )] . In the order 1 , f , g , h , t , ρ \mathbf 1,f,g,h,t,\rho 1 , f , g , h , t , ρ , this matrix is M = ( 6 2 2 2 2 8 k 2 6 2 2 2 8 k 2 2 6 2 2 8 k 2 2 2 6 2 8 k 2 2 2 2 12 16 k 8 k 8 k 8 k 8 k 16 k 16 + 64 k 2 ) .

M = 6 2 2 2 2 8 k 2 6 2 2 2 8 k 2 2 6 2 2 8 k 2 2 2 6 2 8 k 2 2 2 2 12 16 k 8 k 8 k 8 k 8 k 16 k 16 + 64 k 2 .
Proof. Apply (2.3) to (2.11) and M X , Y = [ I ( X ) , I ( Y ) ] = [ F I ( X ) , Y ] M_{X,Y}=[I(X),I(Y)]=[FI(X),Y] M X , Y = [ I ( X ) , I ( Y )] = [ F I ( X ) , Y ] . ◻
Lemma 3.3. After relabeling f , g , h f,g,h f , g , h , the six simple summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) are 1 , A , B , C 0 , C g , C h \mathbf 1,A,B,C_0,C_g,C_h 1 , A , B , C 0 , C g , C h , each of multiplicity one, with Z dim Z F ( Z ) 1 1 1 A 1 + k d 1 ⊕ k ρ B q 1 ⊕ f ⊕ k ρ C 0 2 q 1 ⊕ f ⊕ g ⊕ h ⊕ 2 k ρ C g 2 q 1 ⊕ g ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ C h 2 q 1 ⊕ h ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ

Proof. The ring K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) is commutative. Its six characters consist of χ + , χ − \chi_+,\chi_- χ + , χ − , the character with values 1 1 1 on G G G , − 2 -2 − 2 on t t t , and 0 0 0 on ρ \rho ρ , and the three nontrivial characters of G G G extended by zero on t , ρ t,\rho t , ρ . Their formal codegrees are
8 + d 2 , 8 + d − 2 , 8 , 4 , 4 , 4. 8+d^2,\quad 8+d_-^2,\quad 8,\quad 4,\quad 4,\quad 4. 8 + d 2 , 8 + d − 2 , 8 , 4 , 4 , 4. The formal-codegree theorem [39 Theorem 2.13] gives the stated dimensions and multiplicities. In particular, every listed forgetful image contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 exactly once. Irrationality gives F ( A ) ≅ 1 ⊕ k ρ F(A)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus k \rho F ( A ) ≅ 1 ⊕ k ρ and F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ f ⊕ k ρ F(B)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus f\oplus k \rho F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ f ⊕ k ρ for some f ≠ 1 f\ne \mathbf 1 f = 1 .
Each of the three objects of dimension 2 q = 4 + 2 k d 2q=4+2kd 2 q = 4 + 2 k d has t t t -multiplicity at most one, since it already contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 . The t t t -entry of F ( I ( 1 ) ) F(I(\mathbf 1)) F ( I ( 1 )) is 2 2 2 . Thus exactly two of these objects have images
1 ⊕ x ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ , 1 ⊕ y ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ , x , y ∈ { f , g , h } . \mathbf 1\oplus x\oplus t\oplus 2k \rho,\qquad \mathbf 1\oplus y\oplus t\oplus 2k \rho,
\qquad x,y\in\{f,g,h\}. 1 ⊕ x ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ , 1 ⊕ y ⊕ t ⊕ 2 k ρ , x , y ∈ { f , g , h } . Each nonidentity element of G G G has total multiplicity 2 2 2 in F ( I ( 1 ) ) F(I(\mathbf 1)) F ( I ( 1 )) . The case x = y = f x=y=f x = y = f is therefore impossible. Up to interchanging g , h g,h g , h and x , y x,y x , y , the remaining possibilities are { x , y } = { g , h } , { f , g } , { g , g } \{x,y\}=\{g,h\},\{f,g\},\{g,g\} { x , y } = { g , h } , { f , g } , { g , g } .
For { x , y } = { g , g } \{x,y\}=\{g,g\} { x , y } = { g , g } , the third image is 1 ⊕ f ⊕ 2 h ⊕ 2 k ρ \mathbf 1\oplus f\oplus 2 h\oplus 2k \rho 1 ⊕ f ⊕ 2 h ⊕ 2 k ρ . Subtracting the six known rows from the Gram matrix gives, on the columns f , g , h , t f,g,h,t f , g , h , t ,
( 4 2 0 2 2 4 2 0 0 2 2 2 2 0 2 10 ) . \begin{pmatrix}

0&2&2&2\\
2&0&2&10
\end{pmatrix}. 4 2 0 2 2 4 2 0 0 2 2 2 2 0 2 10 . Its determinant is − 16 -16 − 16 , contradicting positive semidefiniteness.
For { x , y } = { f , g } \{x,y\}=\{f,g\} { x , y } = { f , g } , the third image is 1 ⊕ g ⊕ 2 h ⊕ 2 k ρ \mathbf 1\oplus g\oplus 2 h\oplus 2k \rho 1 ⊕ g ⊕ 2 h ⊕ 2 k ρ , and the residual Gram matrix is
( 4 2 2 1 2 4 0 1 2 0 2 2 1 1 2 10 ) . \begin{pmatrix}
4&2&2&1\\
2&4&0&1\\
2&0&2&2\\
1&1&2&10
\end{pmatrix}. 4 2 2 1 2 4 0 1 2 0 2 2 1 1 2 10 . These are inner products of nonnegative integer columns. The h h h -column has exactly two nonzero entries, both 1 1 1 , and its support is disjoint from that of the g g g -column. Its inner product with the f f f -column is 2 2 2 . If the latter column had an entry 2 2 2 on this support, its squared norm 4 4 4 would be exhausted, contradicting its inner product 2 2 2 with the g g g -column. The f f f -column therefore equals 1 1 1 at both entries of the h h h -column. Nonnegativity gives ⟨ f , t ⟩ ≥ ⟨ h , t ⟩ = 2 \langle f,t\rangle\geq\langle h,t\rangle=2 ⟨ f , t ⟩ ≥ ⟨ h , t ⟩ = 2 , contrary to ⟨ f , t ⟩ = 1 \langle f,t\rangle=1 ⟨ f , t ⟩ = 1 .
Only { x , y } = { g , h } \{x,y\}=\{g,h\} { x , y } = { g , h } remains. The multiplicities in F ( I ( 1 ) ) F(I(\mathbf 1)) F ( I ( 1 )) then determine the remaining image and give (3.3) . ◻
Proposition 3.4. Every simple object of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) whose forgetful image contains an invertible object has twist 1 1 1 or − 1 -1 − 1 . Besides the six summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) , precisely two such objects have twist 1 1 1 . They can be denoted by P 1 , P 2 P_1,P_2 P 1 , P 2 , with F ( P i ) ≅ f ⊕ b i ρ , b 1 , b 2 ∈ Z ≥ 0 , b 1 + b 2 = k .
F(P_i)\cong f\oplus b_i \rho,\qquad b_1,b_2\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0},\qquad b_1+b_2=k.
F ( P i ) ≅ f ⊕ b i ρ , b 1 , b 2 ∈ Z ≥ 0 , b 1 + b 2 = k .
Proof. The part of I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) supported on I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) is C 0 ⊕ C g C_0\oplus C_g C 0 ⊕ C g . It has dimension 4 q = Δ / 2 4q=\Delta/2 4 q = Δ/2 and twist 1 1 1 . The complementary part has the same dimension and, by (2.4) , twist trace − 4 q -4q − 4 q . Positivity of dimensions and the fact that twists have absolute value one force every twist on the complement to equal − 1 -1 − 1 . The same argument applies to I ( h ) I(h) I ( h ) . The pointed subcategory of a Tambara–Yamagami category is Vec G \operatorname{Vec}_G Vec G with trivial associator. With its canonical positive spherical structure, ν 2 ( f ) = 1 \nu_2(f)=1 ν 2 ( f ) = 1 . Hence Tr ( θ I ( f ) 2 ) = Δ = dim I ( f ) \operatorname{Tr}(\theta^2_{I(f)})=\Delta=\dim I(f) Tr ( θ I ( f ) 2 ) = Δ = dim I ( f ) , so all twists on I ( f ) I(f) I ( f ) are ± 1 \pm1 ± 1 . The total dimension of its positive-twist part is Δ / 2 = 4 q \Delta/2=4q Δ/2 = 4 q . Its part in I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) is B ⊕ C 0 B\oplus C_0 B ⊕ C 0 , of dimension 3 q 3q 3 q ; the residual positive-twist part therefore has dimension q q q .
Subtracting the rows in (3.3) from (3.2) leaves, on f , g , h , t f,g,h,t f , g , h , t , the matrix
R = ( 4 1 1 2 1 4 1 1 1 1 4 1 2 1 1 10 ) . \begin{equation}
R=
\begin{pmatrix}
4&1&1&2\\
1&4&1&1\\
1&1&4&1\\
2&1&1&10
\end{pmatrix}. \tag*{(3.5)}
\end{equation} R = 4 1 1 2 1 4 1 1 1 1 4 1 2 1 1 10 . (3.5) Every entry in each of the residual f , g , h f,g,h f , g , h columns is 0 0 0 or 1 1 1 . Indeed, an entry at least 2 2 2 would exhaust the squared norm 4 4 4 , and then its inner product with another invertible column could not be 1 1 1 .
Here and in what follows, “contains” refers to the underlying object after applying the forgetful functor F F F ; a simple summand of I ( f ) I(f) I ( f ) is itself an object of the Drinfeld center. More precisely, let Z Z Z be a residual simple summand of I ( f ) I(f) I ( f ) with positive twist. If g g g occurs in F ( Z ) F(Z) F ( Z ) , then Frobenius reciprocity gives
[ I ( g ) , Z ] = [ F ( Z ) , g ] > 0. [I(g),Z]=[F(Z),g]>0. [ I ( g ) , Z ] = [ F ( Z ) , g ] > 0. Thus Z Z Z is also a residual summand of I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) , and the preceding analysis of the complementary part of I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) says that its twist is − 1 -1 − 1 , a contradiction. The same argument excludes h h h . Consequently, among the invertible constituents of a residual positive-twist summand, only f f f can occur. The residual column calculation therefore writes its forgetful image in the form
F ( Z ) ≅ f ⊕ u Z t ⊕ b Z ρ . F(Z)\cong f\oplus u_Z t\oplus b_Z \rho . F ( Z ) ≅ f ⊕ u Z t ⊕ b Z ρ . The total dimension of all residual positive-twist summands is 2 + k d 2+kd 2 + k d . Comparing integer parts, a sum of positive odd integers 1 + 2 u Z 1+2u_Z 1 + 2 u Z equals 2 2 2 . Hence there are exactly two such summands, and both have u Z = 0 u_Z=0 u Z = 0 . Comparing the d d d -coefficients proves (3.4) . ◻
Notation 3.5. For each Z ∈ Irr ( Z ( C ) ) Z\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal Z(\mathcal C)) Z ∈ Irr ( Z ( C )) write
F ( Z ) ≅ ⨁ x ∈ G m x ( Z ) x ⊕ u Z t ⊕ b Z ρ , s Z = ∑ x ∈ G m x ( Z ) , a Z = s Z + 2 u Z . F(Z)\cong \bigoplus_{x\in G}m_x(Z) x\oplus u_Z t\oplus b_Z \rho,\qquad
s_Z=\sum_{x\in G}m_x(Z),\qquad a_Z=s_Z+2u_Z. F ( Z ) ≅ x ∈ G ⨁ m x ( Z ) x ⊕ u Z t ⊕ b Z ρ , s Z = x ∈ G ∑ m x ( Z ) , a Z = s Z + 2 u Z . Thus dim Z = a Z + b Z d \dim Z=a_Z+b_Zd dim Z = a Z + b Z d , with nonnegative integer coefficients. Partition Irr ( Z ( C ) ) \operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal Z(\mathcal C)) Irr ( Z ( C )) into
U = { Z : s Z > 0 } , V = { Z : s Z = 0 , u Z > 0 } , W = { Z : s Z = u Z = 0 } . \mathscr U=\{Z:s_Z>0\},\quad
\mathscr V=\{Z:s_Z=0,\ u_Z>0\},\quad
\mathscr W=\{Z:s_Z=u_Z=0\}. U = { Z : s Z > 0 } , V = { Z : s Z = 0 , u Z > 0 } , W = { Z : s Z = u Z = 0 } . The summands in W \mathscr W W have images b Z ρ b_Z \rho b Z ρ , with b Z > 0 b_Z>0 b Z > 0 . If S \mathscr S S is one of these sets, I ( X ) ∣ S I(X)|_{\mathscr S} I ( X ) ∣ S denotes the corresponding direct summand of I ( X ) I(X) I ( X ) .
Lemma 3.6. Set T = ∑ Z ∈ U u Z 2 T=\sum_{Z\in\mathscr U}u_Z^2 T = ∑ Z ∈ U u Z 2 . Then T ∈ { 4 , 8 } T\in\{4,8\} T ∈ { 4 , 8 } . More precisely, the D \mathcal D D -parts of the negative-twist objects of U \mathscr U U are, as a multiset, one of the following: D -parts T I f ⊕ g ⊕ t , f ⊕ h ⊕ t , g ⊕ h , g , g , h , h 4 I I f ⊕ g ⊕ h , f ⊕ 2 t , g ⊕ t , h ⊕ t , g , g , h , h 8 I I I f ⊕ g ⊕ h ⊕ t , f ⊕ t , g , g , g , h , h , h 4

Proof. Remove the two rows in (3.4) from (3.5) . The remaining invertible columns have 2 , 4 , 4 2,4,4 2 , 4 , 4 entries equal to 1 1 1 , respectively; every pair has inner product 1 1 1 . Their intersections either lie in a single row containing f , g , h f,g,h f , g , h , or in three different rows containing f , g f,g f , g , f , h f,h f , h , and g , h g,h g , h , respectively.
In the latter case the two rows containing f f f have t t t -multiplicities whose sum is 2 2 2 . Their individual multiplicities are at most 1 1 1 , because the g t gt g t and h t ht h t inner products are both 1 1 1 . Both multiplicities are thus 1 1 1 , and every other t t t -multiplicity in these residual rows is 0 0 0 . This is pattern I.
In the former case let α \alpha α be the t t t -multiplicity in the common triple row. The g t gt g t and h t ht h t inner products imply α ∈ { 0 , 1 } \alpha\in\{0,1\} α ∈ { 0 , 1 } . The other row containing f f f has t t t -multiplicity 2 − α 2-\alpha 2 − α . If α = 0 \alpha=0 α = 0 , precisely one of the three residual g g g -only rows and one of the three h h h -only rows have t t t -multiplicity 1 1 1 , giving pattern II. If α = 1 \alpha=1 α = 1 , all these multiplicities are 0 0 0 , giving pattern III.
The rows C g , C h C_g,C_h C g , C h in I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) contribute 2 2 2 to T T T , and the objects P 1 , P 2 P_1,P_2 P 1 , P 2 contribute 0 0 0 . The three patterns contribute 2 , 6 , 2 2,6,2 2 , 6 , 2 , respectively. This proves the displayed values. ◻
Lemma 3.7. Choose a cyclotomic field containing the modular data of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) , and an automorphism σ \sigma σ whose restriction to Q ( d ) \mathbb Q(d) Q ( d ) is nontrivial. Let π = σ ^ \pi=\widehat{\sigma} π = σ be the induced permutation of simple central objects. If a Z > 0 a_Z>0 a Z > 0 , then m x ( π ( Z ) ) = m x ( Z ) , u π ( Z ) = u Z , b π ( Z ) = k a Z − b Z .
m_x(\pi(Z))=m_x(Z),\quad u_{\pi(Z)}=u_Z,\quad
b_{\pi(Z)}=ka_Z-b_Z.
m x ( π ( Z )) = m x ( Z ) , u π ( Z ) = u Z , b π ( Z ) = k a Z − b Z . In particular, U \mathscr U U and V \mathscr V V are π \pi π -stable. Moreover, θ π ( Z ) = σ 2 ( θ Z )
\theta_{\pi(Z)}=\sigma^2(\theta_Z)
θ π ( Z ) = σ 2 ( θ Z ) for every simple central Z Z Z . Thus θ π ( Z ) = θ Z \theta_{\pi(Z)}=\theta_Z θ π ( Z ) = θ Z whenever θ Z 8 = 1 \theta_Z^8=1 θ Z 8 = 1 .
Proof. Use the normalization S = S / Δ S=\mathsf S/\Delta S = S /Δ from § 2 . Galois symmetry gives signs ϵ Z ∈ { ± 1 } \epsilon_Z\in\{\pm1\} ϵ Z ∈ { ± 1 } such that
σ ( S X , Z ) = ϵ Z S X , π ( Z ) . \begin{equation}
\sigma(S_{X,Z})=\epsilon_ZS_{X,\pi(Z)}. \tag*{(3.9)}
\end{equation} σ ( S X , Z ) = ϵ Z S X , π ( Z ) . (3.9) The twist identity (3.8) holds for the canonical modular representation of a Drinfeld center [27 Section 4.1 and Lemma 4.2] . One has σ ( d ) = 8 k − d \sigma(d)=8k-d σ ( d ) = 8 k − d and Δ / σ ( Δ ) = 1 + k d \Delta/\sigma(\Delta)=1+kd Δ/ σ ( Δ ) = 1 + k d . The unit row of (3.9) therefore gives
ϵ Z dim π ( Z ) = ( 1 + k d ) σ ( a Z + b Z d ) = a Z + ( k a Z − b Z ) d . \epsilon_Z\dim\pi(Z)
=(1+kd)\sigma(a_Z+b_Zd)=a_Z+(ka_Z-b_Z)d. ϵ Z dim π ( Z ) = ( 1 + k d ) σ ( a Z + b Z d ) = a Z + ( k a Z − b Z ) d . If a Z > 0 a_Z>0 a Z > 0 , the sign must be + 1 +1 + 1 : otherwise comparison of the integer coefficients of 1 , d 1,d 1 , d would give a π ( Z ) = − a Z < 0 a_{\pi(Z)}=-a_Z<0 a π ( Z ) = − a Z < 0 . Hence a π ( Z ) = a Z a_{\pi(Z)}=a_Z a π ( Z ) = a Z and b π ( Z ) = k a Z − b Z b_{\pi(Z)}=ka_Z-b_Z b π ( Z ) = k a Z − b Z .
To recover the full D \mathcal D D -part, recall the character interpretation of the summands A ψ A_\psi A ψ of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) [39 Section 2.3 and Theorem 2.13] :
S A ψ , Z = ψ ( F ( Z ) ) f ψ . S_{A_\psi,Z}=\frac{\psi(F(Z))}{f_\psi}. S A ψ , Z = f ψ ψ ( F ( Z )) . For the character associated with B B B this becomes S B , Z = ( s Z − 2 u Z ) / 8 S_{B,Z}=(s_Z-2u_Z)/8 S B , Z = ( s Z − 2 u Z ) /8 . For each nontrivial character η : G → { ± 1 } \eta:G\to\{\pm1\} η : G → { ± 1 } , it becomes S A η , Z = 1 4 ∑ x ∈ G η ( x ) m x ( Z ) S_{A_\eta,Z}=\frac14\sum_{x\in G}\eta(x)m_x(Z) S A η , Z = 4 1 ∑ x ∈ G η ( x ) m x ( Z ) . All four expressions are rational. Since ϵ Z = 1 \epsilon_Z=1 ϵ Z = 1 , (3.9) shows that they are unchanged under π \pi π . Together with a Z = s Z + 2 u Z a_Z=s_Z+2u_Z a Z = s Z + 2 u Z , the first expression determines s Z , u Z s_Z,u_Z s Z , u Z ; Fourier inversion on G G G then determines all m x ( Z ) m_x(Z) m x ( Z ) . This proves (3.7) . Finally every automorphism of the field of eighth roots acts by an odd power, whose square is 1 1 1 modulo 8 8 8 , proving the last assertion. ◻
Proposition 3.8. With Notation 3.5 , ∑ U u Z 2 = 4 , ∑ V u Z 2 = 8 , ∑ V u Z b Z = 8 k .
\sum_{\mathscr U}u_Z^2=4,\qquad
\sum_{\mathscr V}u_Z^2=8,\qquad
\sum_{\mathscr V}u_Zb_Z=8k.
∑ U u Z 2 = 4 , ∑ V u Z 2 = 8 , ∑ V u Z b Z = 8 k . Furthermore, ν 2 ( t ) = 1 , dim I ( t ) ∣ V = Δ , Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V ) = Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V 2 ) = 0.
\nu_2(t)=1,\qquad
\dim I(t)|_{\mathscr V}=\Delta,\qquad
\operatorname{Tr}(\theta_{I(t)|_{\mathscr V}})=
\operatorname{Tr}(\theta^2_{I(t)|_{\mathscr V}})=0.
ν 2 ( t ) = 1 , dim I ( t ) ∣ V = Δ , Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V ) = Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V 2 ) = 0. Every object of U ∪ V \mathscr U\cup\mathscr V U ∪ V has twist of order dividing 8 8 8 .
Proof. The matrix (3.2) gives ∑ U s Z u Z = 8 \sum_\mathscr Us_Zu_Z=8 ∑ U s Z u Z = 8 . By Galois reflection and π \pi π -stability of U \mathscr U U ,
2 ∑ U u Z b Z = k ∑ U u Z a Z = k ( 8 + 2 T ) . 2\sum_\mathscr Uu_Zb_Z
=k\sum_\mathscr Uu_Za_Z=k(8+2T). 2 U ∑ u Z b Z = k U ∑ u Z a Z = k ( 8 + 2 T ) . Consequently,
dim I ( t ) ∣ U = ∑ U u Z ( a Z + b Z d ) = 8 + 2 T + ( 4 k + k T ) d = ( 4 + T ) q . \begin{equation}
\dim I(t)|_\mathscr U
=\sum_\mathscr Uu_Z(a_Z+b_Zd)
=8+2T+(4k+kT)d=(4+T)q. \tag*{(3.12)}
\end{equation} dim I ( t ) ∣ U = U ∑ u Z ( a Z + b Z d ) = 8 + 2 T + ( 4 k + k T ) d = ( 4 + T ) q . (3.12) The positive-twist part of I ( t ) ∣ U I(t)|_\mathscr U I ( t ) ∣ U consists exactly of C g , C h C_g,C_h C g , C h , and has dimension 4 q 4q 4 q . Since dim I ( t ) = 16 q \dim I(t)=16q dim I ( t ) = 16 q ,
dim I ( t ) ∣ V = ( 12 − T ) q , Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V ) = ( T − 4 ) q . \begin{equation}
\dim I(t)|_\mathscr V=(12-T)q,\qquad
\operatorname{Tr}(\theta_{I(t)|_\mathscr V})=(T-4)q. \tag*{(3.13)}
\end{equation} dim I ( t ) ∣ V = ( 12 − T ) q , Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V ) = ( T − 4 ) q . (3.13) If T = 8 T=8 T = 8 , the two quantities in (3.13) both equal 4 q 4q 4 q , so every twist on I ( t ) ∣ V I(t)|_\mathscr V I ( t ) ∣ V is 1 1 1 . All twists on I ( t ) ∣ U I(t)|_\mathscr U I ( t ) ∣ U already square to 1 1 1 . This gives Tr ( θ I ( t ) 2 ) = 2 Δ \operatorname{Tr}(\theta^2_{I(t)})=2\Delta Tr ( θ I ( t ) 2 ) = 2Δ , contradicting ν 2 ( t ) ∈ { ± 1 } \nu_2(t)\in\{\pm1\} ν 2 ( t ) ∈ { ± 1 } . Lemma 3.6 therefore gives T = 4 T=4 T = 4 .
Now both parts of I ( t ) I(t) I ( t ) have dimension Δ \Delta Δ , and its V \mathscr V V -part has first twist trace 0 0 0 . Its U \mathscr U U -part contributes Δ \Delta Δ to the second trace. The value ν 2 ( t ) = − 1 \nu_2(t)=-1 ν 2 ( t ) = − 1 would force the remaining trace to be − 2 Δ -2\Delta − 2Δ , impossible for an object of dimension Δ \Delta Δ . Thus ν 2 ( t ) = 1 \nu_2(t)=1 ν 2 ( t ) = 1 and the remaining second trace is 0 0 0 . The ( t , t ) (t,t) ( t , t ) and ( t , ρ ) (t,\rho) ( t , ρ ) entries of (3.2) now give ∑ V u Z 2 = 12 − 4 = 8 \sum_\mathscr Vu_Z^2=12-4=8 ∑ V u Z 2 = 12 − 4 = 8 and ∑ V u Z b Z = 16 k − ( 4 k + 4 k ) = 8 k \sum_\mathscr Vu_Zb_Z=16k-(4k+4k)=8k ∑ V u Z b Z = 16 k − ( 4 k + 4 k ) = 8 k .
The pivotal structure restricts to the canonical positive structure on D \mathcal D D . Shimizu’s formula [40 Theorem 3.4 and the formula immediately following it] gives
ν 4 ( t ) = 1 2 ∑ x ∈ G χ ( x , x ) − 1 ∈ { 0 , 2 } , \nu_4(t)=\frac12\sum_{x\in G}\chi(x,x)^{-1}\in\{0,2\}, ν 4 ( t ) = 2 1 x ∈ G ∑ χ ( x , x ) − 1 ∈ { 0 , 2 } , where χ \chi χ is the symmetric bicharacter defining D \mathcal D D . Indeed G G G has exponent 2 2 2 , so x ↦ χ ( x , x ) x\mapsto\chi(x,x) x ↦ χ ( x , x ) is a character with values in { ± 1 } \{\pm1\} { ± 1 } , and its sum is 0 0 0 or 4 4 4 . The U \mathscr U U -part of I ( t ) I(t) I ( t ) contributes Δ \Delta Δ to the fourth trace. Hence
Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V 4 ) = ( ν 4 ( t ) − 1 ) Δ = ± Δ . \operatorname{Tr}(\theta^4_{I(t)|_\mathscr V})=(\nu_4(t)-1)\Delta=\pm\Delta. Tr ( θ I ( t ) ∣ V 4 ) = ( ν 4 ( t ) − 1 ) Δ = ± Δ. As dim I ( t ) ∣ V = Δ \dim I(t)|_\mathscr V=\Delta dim I ( t ) ∣ V = Δ , all its fourth powers equal the same sign. Thus θ Z 8 = 1 \theta_Z^8=1 θ Z 8 = 1 for Z ∈ V Z\in\mathscr V Z ∈ V ; the assertion for U \mathscr U U follows from Proposition 3.4 . ◻
Lemma 3.9. Let Q = ∑ Z ∈ U b Z 2 Q=\sum_{Z\in\mathscr U}b_Z^2 Q = ∑ Z ∈ U b Z 2 . Then ∑ U a Z 2 = 96 , ∑ U a Z b Z = 48 k , Q ≥ 49 2 k 2 .
\sum_\mathscr Ua_Z^2=96,\qquad
\sum_\mathscr Ua_Zb_Z=48k,\qquad
Q\geq\frac{49}{2}k^2.
∑ U a Z 2 = 96 , ∑ U a Z b Z = 48 k , Q ≥ 2 49 k 2 .
Proof. The invertible block of (3.2) gives ∑ U s Z 2 = 4 ⋅ 6 + 12 ⋅ 2 = 48 \sum_\mathscr Us_Z^2=4\cdot6+12\cdot2=48 ∑ U s Z 2 = 4 ⋅ 6 + 12 ⋅ 2 = 48 . Also ∑ U s Z u Z = 8 \sum_\mathscr Us_Zu_Z=8 ∑ U s Z u Z = 8 and ∑ U u Z 2 = 4 \sum_\mathscr Uu_Z^2=4 ∑ U u Z 2 = 4 by Proposition 3.8 . Therefore
∑ U a Z 2 = ∑ U ( s Z + 2 u Z ) 2 = 48 + 32 + 16 = 96. \sum_\mathscr Ua_Z^2
=\sum_\mathscr U(s_Z+2u_Z)^2=48+32+16=96. U ∑ a Z 2 = U ∑ ( s Z + 2 u Z ) 2 = 48 + 32 + 16 = 96. Lemma 3.7 implies 2 ∑ U a Z b Z = k ∑ U a Z 2 = 96 k 2\sum_\mathscr Ua_Zb_Z=k\sum_\mathscr Ua_Z^2=96k 2 ∑ U a Z b Z = k ∑ U a Z 2 = 96 k , and hence
Q = 24 k 2 + ∑ U ( b Z − k a Z 2 ) 2 . Q=24k^2+\sum_\mathscr U\left(b_Z-\frac{k a_Z}{2}\right)^2. Q = 24 k 2 + U ∑ ( b Z − 2 k a Z ) 2 . The objects 1 , A \mathbf 1,A 1 , A have ( a Z , b Z ) = ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 1 , k ) (a_Z,b_Z)=(1,0),(1,k) ( a Z , b Z ) = ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 1 , k ) , respectively, and together contribute k 2 / 2 k^2/2 k 2 /2 to the final sum. ◻
Proposition 3.10. Put p = b 1 2 + b 2 2 p=b_1^2+b_2^2 p = b 1 2 + b 2 2 , with b 1 , b 2 b_1,b_2 b 1 , b 2 as in (3.4) , and let ν = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { ± 1 } \nu=\nu_2(\rho)\in\{\pm1\} ν = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { ± 1 } . There is a multiset of roots of unity ζ 1 , … , ζ L \zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_L ζ 1 , … , ζ L such that L = 16 + 56 k 2 − Q ≤ 16 + 63 2 k 2 , ∑ i = 1 L ζ i = Q − 24 k 2 − 2 p − k r , ∑ i = 1 L ζ i 2 = 24 k 2 − Q + ( 2 ν − 6 k ) r . \begin{aligned}
L&=16+56k^2-Q\leq16+\frac{63}{2}k^2,\\
\sum_{i=1}^{L}\zeta_i
&=Q-24k^2-2p-kr,\\
\sum_{i=1}^{L}\zeta_i^2
&=24k^2-Q+(2\nu-6k)r.\end{aligned} L i = 1 ∑ L ζ i i = 1 ∑ L ζ i 2 = 16 + 56 k 2 − Q ≤ 16 + 2 63 k 2 , = Q − 24 k 2 − 2 p − k r , = 24 k 2 − Q + ( 2 ν − 6 k ) r .
Proof. By Lemma 3.7 and Proposition 3.8 , the Galois reflection preserves twists on U ∪ V \mathscr U\cup\mathscr V U ∪ V . In particular, it preserves each twist class in V \mathscr V V . Since a Z = 2 u Z a_Z=2u_Z a Z = 2 u Z there, for each root of unity ζ \zeta ζ we have
∑ Z ∈ V θ Z = ζ u Z b Z = k ∑ Z ∈ V θ Z = ζ u Z 2 . \sum_{\substack{Z\in\mathscr V\\\theta_Z=\zeta}}u_Zb_Z
=k\sum_{\substack{Z\in\mathscr V\\\theta_Z=\zeta}}u_Z^2. Z ∈ V θ Z = ζ ∑ u Z b Z = k Z ∈ V θ Z = ζ ∑ u Z 2 . For j = 1 , 2 j=1,2 j = 1 , 2 , the zero traces in (3.11) therefore give
0 = ∑ V u Z ( 2 u Z + b Z d ) θ Z j = ( 2 + k d ) ∑ V u Z 2 θ Z j . 0=\sum_\mathscr Vu_Z(2u_Z+b_Zd)\theta_Z^j
=(2+kd)\sum_\mathscr Vu_Z^2\theta_Z^j. 0 = V ∑ u Z ( 2 u Z + b Z d ) θ Z j = ( 2 + k d ) V ∑ u Z 2 θ Z j . It follows that
∑ V u Z 2 θ Z j = ∑ V u Z b Z θ Z j = 0 ( j = 1 , 2 ) . \begin{equation}
\sum_\mathscr Vu_Z^2\theta_Z^j
=\sum_\mathscr Vu_Zb_Z\theta_Z^j=0
\qquad (j=1,2). \tag*{(3.16)}
\end{equation} V ∑ u Z 2 θ Z j = V ∑ u Z b Z θ Z j = 0 ( j = 1 , 2 ) . (3.16) For Z ∈ V Z\in\mathscr V Z ∈ V put δ Z = b Z − k u Z ∈ Z \delta_Z=b_Z-ku_Z\in\mathbb Z δ Z = b Z − k u Z ∈ Z . Then
1 d Tr ( θ I ( ρ ) ∣ V j ) = ∑ V b Z 2 θ Z j = ∑ V δ Z 2 θ Z j ( j = 1 , 2 ) , \begin{equation}
\frac1d\operatorname{Tr}(\theta^j_{I(\rho)|_\mathscr V})
=\sum_\mathscr Vb_Z^2\theta_Z^j
=\sum_\mathscr V\delta_Z^2\theta_Z^j
\qquad (j=1,2), \tag*{(3.17)}
\end{equation} d 1 Tr ( θ I ( ρ ) ∣ V j ) = V ∑ b Z 2 θ Z j = V ∑ δ Z 2 θ Z j ( j = 1 , 2 ) , (3.17) where both equalities use (3.16) .
Take b Z 2 b_Z^2 b Z 2 copies of θ Z \theta_Z θ Z for each Z ∈ W Z\in\mathscr W Z ∈ W and δ Z 2 \delta_Z^2 δ Z 2 copies for each Z ∈ V Z\in\mathscr V Z ∈ V . These nonnegative integer multiplicities define the required auxiliary multiset. Using the ρ ρ \rho\rho ρρ entry of (3.2) and (3.10) , its cardinality is
L = ∑ W b Z 2 + ∑ V ( b Z − k u Z ) 2 = 16 + 64 k 2 − Q − 2 k ( 8 k ) + k 2 ( 8 ) = 16 + 56 k 2 − Q . \begin{align*}
L&=\sum_\mathscr Wb_Z^2+\sum_\mathscr V(b_Z-ku_Z)^2\\
&=16+64k^2-Q-2k(8k)+k^2(8)

\end{align*} L = W ∑ b Z 2 + V ∑ ( b Z − k u Z ) 2 = 16 + 64 k 2 − Q − 2 k ( 8 k ) + k 2 ( 8 ) = 16 + 56 k 2 − Q . Lemma 3.9 proves the inequality in (3.15) .
The positive-twist objects of U \mathscr U U are precisely 1 , A , B , C 0 , C g , C h , P 1 , P 2 \mathbf 1,A,B,C_0,C_g,C_h,P_1,P_2 1 , A , B , C 0 , C g , C h , P 1 , P 2 . Their a Z 2 a_Z^2 a Z 2 -sum is 1 + 1 + 4 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 1 + 1 = 56 1+1+4+16+16+16+1+1=56 1 + 1 + 4 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 1 + 1 = 56 . Thus ∑ U θ Z a Z 2 = 56 − ( 96 − 56 ) = 16 \sum_\mathscr U\theta_Za_Z^2=56-(96-56)=16 ∑ U θ Z a Z 2 = 56 − ( 96 − 56 ) = 16 . Twist-preserving Galois reflection implies
∑ U θ Z a Z b Z = k 2 ∑ U θ Z a Z 2 = 8 k . \sum_\mathscr U\theta_Za_Zb_Z
=\frac{k}{2}\sum_\mathscr U\theta_Za_Z^2=8k. U ∑ θ Z a Z b Z = 2 k U ∑ θ Z a Z 2 = 8 k . The positive-twist b Z 2 b_Z^2 b Z 2 -sum is 14 k 2 + p 14k^2+p 14 k 2 + p , so ∑ U θ Z b Z 2 = 28 k 2 + 2 p − Q \sum_\mathscr U\theta_Zb_Z^2=28k^2+2p-Q ∑ U θ Z b Z 2 = 28 k 2 + 2 p − Q . Consequently the first trace identity for I ( ρ ) I(\rho) I ( ρ ) is
0 = 8 k + ( 28 k 2 + 2 p − Q ) d + d ∑ i = 1 L ζ i . 0=8k+(28k^2+2p-Q)d+d\sum_{i=1}^L\zeta_i. 0 = 8 k + ( 28 k 2 + 2 p − Q ) d + d i = 1 ∑ L ζ i . Since 8 / d = d − 8 k 8/d=d-8k 8/ d = d − 8 k and d = 4 k + r d=4k+r d = 4 k + r , this is eq:first-sum .
For the second trace, every twist in U \mathscr U U squares to 1 1 1 . Lemma 3.9 and (3.17) give
ν Δ = 48 k + Q d + d ∑ i = 1 L ζ i 2 . \nu\Delta=48k+Qd+d\sum_{i=1}^L\zeta_i^2. ν Δ = 48 k + Q d + d i = 1 ∑ L ζ i 2 . Now Δ / d = 2 r \Delta/d=2r Δ/ d = 2 r and 48 k / d = 6 k r − 24 k 2 48k/d=6kr-24k^2 48 k / d = 6 k r − 24 k 2 , yielding eq:second-sum . ◻
For a positive integer M M M , we write
v 2 ( M ) = max { r ∈ Z ≥ 0 : 2 r ∣ M } . v_2(M)=\max\{r\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0}:2^r\mid M\}. v 2 ( M ) = max { r ∈ Z ≥ 0 : 2 r ∣ M } .
Thus v 2 ( M ) v_2(M) v 2 ( M ) is the exponent of 2 2 2 in the prime factorization of M M M .
Lemma 3.11. Let c > 1 c>1 c > 1 be an even squarefree integer. Suppose roots of unity ζ 1 , … , ζ L \zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_L ζ 1 , … , ζ L satisfy ∑ i = 1 L ζ i = A + B c , ∑ i = 1 L ζ i 2 = A ′ + B ′ c , A , B , A ′ , B ′ ∈ Z . \sum_{i=1}^L\zeta_i=A+B\sqrt c,\qquad
\sum_{i=1}^L\zeta_i^2=A'+B'\sqrt c,
\qquad A,B,A',B'\in\mathbb Z. ∑ i = 1 L ζ i = A + B c , ∑ i = 1 L ζ i 2 = A ′ + B ′ c , A , B , A ′ , B ′ ∈ Z . Then L ≥ φ ( 2 c ) ( ∣ B ∣ + ∣ B ′ ∣ ) .
L\geq\varphi(2c)(|B|+|B'|).
L ≥ φ ( 2 c ) ( ∣ B ∣ + ∣ B ′ ∣ ) .
Proof. Let K = Q ( c ) K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt c) K = Q ( c ) and choose a cyclotomic field E E E containing K K K and all the roots in question. Write H = Gal ( E / K ) H=\operatorname{Gal}(E/K) H = Gal ( E / K ) and h = ∣ H ∣ h=|H| h = ∣ H ∣ . The conductor of K K K is 4 c 4c 4 c . Since c c c is even and squarefree, we can write c = 2 c 0 c=2c_0 c = 2 c 0 with c 0 c_0 c 0 odd; hence 4 c = 8 c 0 4c=8c_0 4 c = 8 c 0 and
v 2 ( 4 c ) = v 2 ( 8 c 0 ) = 3. v_2(4c)=v_2(8c_0)=3. v 2 ( 4 c ) = v 2 ( 8 c 0 ) = 3. For a root ζ \zeta ζ of exact order n n n , consider T ( ζ ) = ∑ τ ∈ H τ ( ζ ) ∈ K \mathcal T(\zeta)=\sum_{\tau\in H}\tau(\zeta)\in K T ( ζ ) = ∑ τ ∈ H τ ( ζ ) ∈ K . If K ⊈ Q ( ζ ) K\not\subseteq\mathbb Q(\zeta) K ⊆ Q ( ζ ) , then K ∩ Q ( ζ ) = Q K\cap\mathbb Q(\zeta)=\mathbb Q K ∩ Q ( ζ ) = Q . The restrictions of H H H to Q ( ζ ) \mathbb Q(\zeta) Q ( ζ ) run through its full Galois group with equal multiplicity, so T ( ζ ) \mathcal T(\zeta) T ( ζ ) is rational. If K ⊆ Q ( ζ ) K\subseteq\mathbb Q(\zeta) K ⊆ Q ( ζ ) , then 4 c ∣ n 4c\mid n 4 c ∣ n . When v 2 ( n ) ≥ 4 v_2(n)\geq4 v 2 ( n ) ≥ 4 , the automorphism ζ ↦ ζ 1 + n / 2 = − ζ \zeta\mapsto\zeta^{1+n/2}=-\zeta ζ ↦ ζ 1 + n /2 = − ζ fixes K K K , since 4 c ∣ n / 2 4c\mid n/2 4 c ∣ n /2 . It extends to an element of H H H , and hence T ( ζ ) = 0 \mathcal T(\zeta)=0 T ( ζ ) = 0 . Thus a nonzero c \sqrt c c -coefficient in T ( ζ ) \mathcal T(\zeta) T ( ζ ) is possible only when v 2 ( n ) = 3 v_2(n)=3 v 2 ( n ) = 3 .
Let J 3 = { i : v 2 ( ord ζ i ) = 3 } J_3=\{i:v_2(\operatorname{ord}\zeta_i)=3\} J 3 = { i : v 2 ( ord ζ i ) = 3 } and J 4 = { i : v 2 ( ord ζ i ) = 4 } J_4=\{i:v_2(\operatorname{ord}\zeta_i)=4\} J 4 = { i : v 2 ( ord ζ i ) = 4 } . Since ord ( ζ i 2 ) = ord ( ζ i ) / gcd ( 2 , ord ζ i ) \operatorname{ord}(\zeta_i^2)=\operatorname{ord}(\zeta_i)/\gcd(2,\operatorname{ord}\zeta_i) ord ( ζ i 2 ) = ord ( ζ i ) / g cd( 2 , ord ζ i ) , the preceding observation gives
∑ i ∈ J 3 T ( ζ i ) = a + h B c , ∑ i ∈ J 4 T ( ζ i 2 ) = a ′ + h B ′ c \sum_{i\in J_3}\mathcal T(\zeta_i)=a+hB\sqrt c,\qquad
\sum_{i\in J_4}\mathcal T(\zeta_i^2)=a'+hB'\sqrt c i ∈ J 3 ∑ T ( ζ i ) = a + h B c , i ∈ J 4 ∑ T ( ζ i 2 ) = a ′ + h B ′ c for some integers a , a ′ a,a' a , a ′ . Indeed these expressions are algebraic integers in K K K , and the ring of integers of K K K is Z [ c ] \mathbb Z[\sqrt c] Z [ c ] .
By [36 Theorem 6.2] , writing an element a + b c a+b\sqrt c a + b c as a sum of roots of unity requires at least ∣ b ∣ φ ( 2 c ) |b|\varphi(2c) ∣ b ∣ φ ( 2 c ) roots. The two displayed expressions are sums of h ∣ J 3 ∣ h|J_3| h ∣ J 3 ∣ and h ∣ J 4 ∣ h|J_4| h ∣ J 4 ∣ roots, respectively. Therefore ∣ J 3 ∣ ≥ ∣ B ∣ φ ( 2 c ) |J_3|\geq|B|\varphi(2c) ∣ J 3 ∣ ≥ ∣ B ∣ φ ( 2 c ) and ∣ J 4 ∣ ≥ ∣ B ′ ∣ φ ( 2 c ) |J_4|\geq|B'|\varphi(2c) ∣ J 4 ∣ ≥ ∣ B ′ ∣ φ ( 2 c ) . The two index sets are disjoint, and (3.18) follows. ◻
Theorem 3.12. If C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) is a near-Tambara–Yamagami fusion category with d + ∉ Z d_+\notin\mathbb Z d + ∈ / Z and κ > 0 \kappa>0 κ > 0 , then n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 .
Proof. By Proposition 3.1 , κ = 8 k \kappa=8k κ = 8 k with k ∈ Z ≥ 1 k\in\mathbb Z_{\geq1} k ∈ Z ≥ 1 and n = 2 n=2 n = 2 . Write r = m c r=m\sqrt c r = m c , where m ≥ 1 m\geq1 m ≥ 1 is an integer and c c c is squarefree. Since r 2 = 8 ( 2 k 2 + 1 ) r^2=8(2k^2+1) r 2 = 8 ( 2 k 2 + 1 ) has 2 2 2 -adic valuation 3 3 3 , c c c is even. Apply Lemma 3.11 to eq:first-sum –eq:second-sum . As ν ∈ { ± 1 } \nu\in\{\pm1\} ν ∈ { ± 1 } and k ≥ 1 k\geq1 k ≥ 1 ,
L ≥ m φ ( 2 c ) ( k + ∣ 2 ν − 6 k ∣ ) = ( 7 k − 2 ν ) m φ ( 2 c ) ≥ ( 7 k − 2 ) m φ ( 2 c ) . L\geq m\varphi(2c)\bigl(k+|2\nu-6k|\bigr)
=(7k-2\nu)m\varphi(2c)
\geq(7k-2)m\varphi(2c). L ≥ m φ ( 2 c ) ( k + ∣2 ν − 6 k ∣ ) = ( 7 k − 2 ν ) m φ ( 2 c ) ≥ ( 7 k − 2 ) m φ ( 2 c ) . Together with (3.15) , this gives
16 + 63 2 k 2 ≥ ( 7 k − 2 ) 16 k 2 + 8 φ ( 2 c ) c . \begin{equation}
16+\frac{63}{2}k^2
\geq(7k-2)\sqrt{16k^2+8}\,
\frac{\varphi(2c)}{\sqrt c}. \tag*{(3.19)}
\end{equation} 16 + 2 63 k 2 ≥ ( 7 k − 2 ) 16 k 2 + 8 c φ ( 2 c ) . (3.19) For even squarefree c c c ,
φ ( 2 c ) c = 2 ∏ ℓ ∣ c ℓ o d d p r i m e ℓ − 1 ℓ ≥ 2 . \frac{\varphi(2c)}{\sqrt c}
=\sqrt2\prod_{\substack{\ell\mid c\\\ell\ {\rm odd\ prime}}}
\frac{\ell-1}{\sqrt\ell}
\geq\sqrt2. c φ ( 2 c ) = 2 ℓ ∣ c ℓ odd prime ∏ ℓ ℓ − 1 ≥ 2 . Since 16 k 2 + 8 > 4 k \sqrt{16k^2+8}>4k 16 k 2 + 8 > 4 k and 2 > 7 / 5 \sqrt2>7/5 2 > 7/5 , the right side of (3.19) is greater than 28 5 k ( 7 k − 2 ) \frac{28}{5}k(7k-2) 5 28 k ( 7 k − 2 ) . But
28 5 k ( 7 k − 2 ) − ( 16 + 63 2 k 2 ) = 77 k 2 − 112 k − 160 10 > 0 ( k ≥ 3 ) . \frac{28}{5}k(7k-2)-\left(16+\frac{63}{2}k^2\right)
=\frac{77k^2-112k-160}{10}>0
\qquad(k\geq3). 5 28 k ( 7 k − 2 ) − ( 16 + 2 63 k 2 ) = 10 77 k 2 − 112 k − 160 > 0 ( k ≥ 3 ) . The last quadratic is positive at 3 3 3 and increasing thereafter. Thus k ≤ 2 k\leq2 k ≤ 2 .
If k = 2 k=2 k = 2 , then r = 6 2 r=6\sqrt2 r = 6 2 , so m = 6 m=6 m = 6 , c = 2 c=2 c = 2 , and φ ( 2 c ) = 2 \varphi(2c)=2 φ ( 2 c ) = 2 . The lower bound gives L ≥ 144 L\geq144 L ≥ 144 , whereas (3.15) gives L ≤ 142 L\leq142 L ≤ 142 . This contradiction excludes k = 2 k=2 k = 2 , proving k = 1 k=1 k = 1 and hence κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 . ◻
Together with the case κ = 0 \kappa=0 κ = 0 , the numerical conclusion is d + ∉ Z ⟹ ( n , κ ) ∈ { ( 2 , 0 ) , ( 2 , 8 ) } d_+\notin\mathbb Z\Longrightarrow (n,\kappa)\in\{(2,0),(2,8)\} d + ∈ / Z ⟹ ( n , κ ) ∈ {( 2 , 0 ) , ( 2 , 8 )} .
The zero-parameter case
Theorem 3.13. Let C = C ( D , 0 ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,0) C = C ( D , 0 ) be a near-Tambara–Yamagami fusion category over C \mathbb C C , with D \mathcal D D nonpointed. Then D ≃ Rep ( H 8 ) \mathcal D\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(H_8) D ≃ Rep ( H 8 ) , where H 8 H_8 H 8 is the Kac–Paljutkin Hopf algebra, and C \mathcal C C is tensor equivalent to a category in the eight-entry list of rank-one odd-component extensions in [24 Section 7, Tables 3–4, and Appendix C.1] .
Proof. Since d = n 2 d=n\sqrt2 d = n 2 is irrational, Proposition 3.1 gives n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and hence FPdim ( D ) = 8 \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal D)=8 FPdim ( D ) = 8 . Put M = add ( ρ ) \mathcal M=\operatorname{add}(\rho) M = add ( ρ ) . The fusion rules give
C = D ⊕ M , D ⊗ M , M ⊗ D ⊆ M , M ⊗ M ⊆ D . \mathcal C=\mathcal D\oplus\mathcal M,\qquad
\mathcal D\otimes\mathcal M,\ \mathcal M\otimes\mathcal D\subseteq\mathcal M,
\qquad \mathcal M\otimes\mathcal M\subseteq\mathcal D. C = D ⊕ M , D ⊗ M , M ⊗ D ⊆ M , M ⊗ M ⊆ D . Thus C \mathcal C C is faithfully graded by Z / 2 Z \mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z Z /2 Z with neutral component D \mathcal D D and a rank-one odd component. As in the proof of Lemma 2.3 , the action on M \mathcal M M gives the fiber functor
Φ : D ⟶ End C ( M ) ≃ Vec , Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) . \Phi:\mathcal D\longrightarrow\operatorname{End}_{\mathbb C}(\mathcal M)\simeq\operatorname{Vec},
\qquad \Phi(X)=\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal C}(\rho,X\otimes\rho). Φ : D ⟶ End C ( M ) ≃ Vec , Φ ( X ) = Hom C ( ρ , X ⊗ ρ ) . Here End C ( M ) \operatorname{End}_{\mathbb C}(\mathcal M) End C ( M ) denotes ordinary complex-linear endofunctors, with composition as tensor product. Reconstructing from this actual fiber functor gives a semisimple Hopf algebra H H H such that D ≃ Rep ( H ) \mathcal D\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(H) D ≃ Rep ( H ) and dim H = 8 \dim H=8 dim H = 8 .
The odd component M \mathcal M M is an invertible D \mathcal D D -bimodule category. Consequently its right action induces an equivalence
D o p ≃ End D ( M ) , \mathcal D^{\mathrm{op}}\simeq\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal D}(\mathcal M), D op ≃ End D ( M ) , where o p \mathrm{op} op reverses the tensor product; see [32 Theorem 6.1 and Proposition 4.2] . The fiber-functor duality of [29 Example 7.12.26] , with the correction recorded in [30 ] , identifies this module endofunctor category with Rep ( H ∗ c o p ) \operatorname{Rep}(H^{*\mathrm{cop}}) Rep ( H ∗ cop ) in the composition convention. In particular it has the same simple dimensions as Rep ( H ∗ ) \operatorname{Rep}(H^*) Rep ( H ∗ ) . Since D \mathcal D D is nonpointed, both H H H and H ∗ H^* H ∗ are noncommutative as algebras. Thus H H H is neither commutative nor cocommutative. Masuoka’s dimension-eight classification [37 ] now gives H ≅ H 8 H\cong H_8 H ≅ H 8 , so D ≃ Rep ( H 8 ) \mathcal D\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(H_8) D ≃ Rep ( H 8 ) .
To apply the unitary calculation in [24 ] , observe directly from the fusion rules that
C a d = D , D a d = D p t , ( D p t ) a d = Vec . \mathcal C_{\mathrm{ad}}=\mathcal D,\qquad
\mathcal D_{\mathrm{ad}}=\mathcal D_{\mathrm{pt}},\qquad
(\mathcal D_{\mathrm{pt}})_{\mathrm{ad}}=\operatorname{Vec}. C ad = D , D ad = D pt , ( D pt ) ad = Vec . Thus C \mathcal C C is nilpotent, hence weakly group-theoretical [31 ] . By [34 Theorem 5.20] , both C \mathcal C C and D \mathcal D D are completely unitary. In particular, C \mathcal C C is unitarizable, and the identification of its neutral category with Rep ( H 8 ) \operatorname{Rep}(H_8) Rep ( H 8 ) can be chosen unitary; see [34 Definition 5.13(1)] . After choosing the identification of the neutral component with Rep ( H 8 ) \operatorname{Rep}(H_8) Rep ( H 8 ) and the labels of its simples, its associator is therefore covered by the unitary pentagon calculation of [24 Section 7, Tables 3–4, and Appendix C.1] . That calculation lists eight solutions modulo changes of bases in the fusion spaces, with the neutral category fixed. Forgetting these choices gives the claimed membership in the eight-entry list. We do not need to decide here which entries remain distinct under tensor equivalences that relabel the neutral component. ◻
Nonexistence for parameter eight
From now on suppose, for contradiction, that C = C ( D , 8 ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,8) C = C ( D , 8 ) exists. The subcategory D \mathcal D D generated by G G G and t t t is integral of dimension 8 8 8 . By [28 Lemma 4.1] , a Galois conjugate of C \mathcal C C is pseudo-unitary and has the same fusion rules. Replace C \mathcal C C by this conjugate and equip it with its canonical spherical structure. Every dimension below is therefore positive and equals Frobenius–Perron dimension. Put
s = 6 , d = 4 + 2 s , D = 48 + 16 s = 8 ( d + 2 ) , ε = 1 + d . \begin{equation}
s=\sqrt6,\qquad d=4+2s,\qquad
D=48+16s=8(d+2),\qquad \varepsilon=1+d. \tag*{(3.20)}
\end{equation} s = 6 , d = 4 + 2 s , D = 48 + 16 s = 8 ( d + 2 ) , ε = 1 + d . (3.20)
The identities
d 2 = 8 + 8 d , D d = 4 s , D ′ = 48 − 16 s , D D ′ = ε \begin{equation}
d^2=8+8d,\qquad \frac Dd=4s,\qquad
D'=48-16s,\qquad \frac D{D'}=\varepsilon \tag*{(3.21)}
\end{equation} d 2 = 8 + 8 d , d D = 4 s , D ′ = 48 − 16 s , D ′ D = ε (3.21)
will be used repeatedly. The matrix (3.2) now is
M = ( 6 2 2 2 2 8 2 6 2 2 2 8 2 2 6 2 2 8 2 2 2 6 2 8 2 2 2 2 12 16 8 8 8 8 16 80 ) . \begin{equation}
M=\begin{pmatrix}
6&2&2&2&2&8\\
2&6&2&2&2&8\\
2&2&6&2&2&8\\
2&2&2&6&2&8\\
2&2&2&2&12&16\\
8&8&8&8&16&80
\end{pmatrix}. \tag*{(3.22)}
\end{equation} M = 6 2 2 2 2 8 2 6 2 2 2 8 2 2 6 2 2 8 2 2 2 6 2 8 2 2 2 2 12 16 8 8 8 8 16 80 . (3.22)
Here D = Δ = dim ( C ) D=\Delta=\dim(\mathcal C) D = Δ = dim ( C ) . We use the unnormalized matrix S \mathsf S S , the normalized matrix S = S / D S=\mathsf S/D S = S / D , and the character identity (2.6) fixed in § 2 .
The Ng–Schauenburg indicator formula [38 Theorem 4.1] is
∑ Z ∈ Irr ( Z ( C ) ) m X ( Z ) dim ( Z ) θ Z n = D ν n ( X ) . \begin{equation}
\sum_{Z\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal Z(\mathcal C))}m_X(Z)\dim(Z)\theta_Z^n=D\nu_n(X). \tag*{(3.23)}
\end{equation} Z ∈ Irr ( Z ( C )) ∑ m X ( Z ) dim ( Z ) θ Z n = D ν n ( X ) . (3.23)
For a nontrivial simple X X X , ν 1 ( X ) = 0 \nu_1(X)=0 ν 1 ( X ) = 0 . All simples of C \mathcal C C are self-dual, so ν 2 ( X ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } \nu_2(X)\in\{1,-1\} ν 2 ( X ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } . The fourth indicator is the trace of an operator of order four on Hom ( 1 , X ⊗ 4 ) \operatorname{Hom}(\mathbf 1,X^{\otimes4}) Hom ( 1 , X ⊗ 4 ) , hence
ν 4 ( X ) ∈ Z [ i ] . \begin{equation}
\nu_4(X)\in\mathbb Z[\mathrm i]. \tag*{(3.24)}
\end{equation} ν 4 ( X ) ∈ Z [ i ] . (3.24)
The balancing identity is (2.5) .
Characters and the pointed subcategory
The characters of R 8 R_8 R 8 are the two dimension characters χ ± \chi_\pm χ ± , the character η \eta η , and the three nontrivial characters λ \lambda λ of G G G , extended as follows:
x ∈ G t ρ f χ χ + 1 2 4 + 2 s D χ − 1 2 4 − 2 s D ′ η 1 − 2 0 8 λ λ ( x ) 0 0 4. \begin{equation}
\begin{array}{c|ccc|c}
&x\in G&t&\rho& f_\chi\\ \hline
\chi_+&1&2&4+2s&D\\
\chi_-&1&2&4-2s&D'\\
\eta&1&-2&0&8\\
\lambda&\lambda(x)&0&0&4.
\end{array} \tag*{(3.25)}
\end{equation} χ + χ − η λ x ∈ G 1 1 1 λ ( x ) t 2 2 − 2 0 ρ 4 + 2 s 4 − 2 s 0 0 f χ D D ′ 8 4. (3.25)
The table follows directly from (2.9) . Its six distinct rows exhaust the characters of the complexified rank-six ring.
Lemma 3.14. The pointed subcategory of C \mathcal C C is tensor equivalent to Vec G \operatorname{Vec}_G Vec G . For every x ∈ G x\in G x ∈ G , one has ν 2 ( x ) = 1 \nu_2(x)=1 ν 2 ( x ) = 1 . There is at most one central invertible object with prescribed restriction x ∈ G x\in G x ∈ G .
Proof. The additive subcategory generated by ρ \rho ρ is a rank-one left module category over the pointed subcategory, since x ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ x\otimes\rho\cong \rho x ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ for all x ∈ G x\in G x ∈ G . Choosing isomorphisms x ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ x\otimes\rho\cong\rho x ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ , its module associativity says that the pointed associator is a coboundary. Thus the pointed subcategory is Vec G \operatorname{Vec}_G Vec G . The positive spherical structure restricts to the canonical one, and every element of G G G has second indicator 1 1 1 .
A tensor automorphism of Id C \operatorname{Id}_{\mathcal C} Id C acts by a scalar a X a_X a X on each simple X X X , with a X a Y = a Z a_Xa_Y=a_Z a X a Y = a Z whenever Z Z Z occurs in X ⊗ Y X\otimes Y X ⊗ Y . The product ρ ⊗ ρ \rho\otimes \rho ρ ⊗ ρ contains ρ \rho ρ , so a ρ 2 = a ρ a_\rho^2=a_\rho a ρ 2 = a ρ and a ρ = 1 a_\rho=1 a ρ = 1 . It also contains every other simple, so all a X = 1 a_X=1 a X = 1 . A central structure on the unit is the same as such a tensor automorphism. If two central invertibles had the same restriction, their quotient would give a nontrivial central structure on the unit. This is impossible. ◻
Lemma 3.15. For x ∈ G ∖ { 1 } x\in G\setminus\{1\} x ∈ G ∖ { 1 } , every simple summand of I ( x ) I(x) I ( x ) has twist 1 1 1 or − 1 -1 − 1 . Counting induction multiplicities, each of these two twist sectors has dimension D / 2 D/2 D /2 .
Proof. By Lemma 3.14 and (3.23) ,
∑ Z m x ( Z ) dim Z θ Z 2 = D = ∑ Z m x ( Z ) dim Z . \sum_Zm_x(Z)\dim Z\,\theta_Z^2=D
=\sum_Zm_x(Z)\dim Z. Z ∑ m x ( Z ) dim Z θ Z 2 = D = Z ∑ m x ( Z ) dim Z . Every summand has a positive dimension and ∣ θ Z ∣ = 1 |\theta_Z|=1 ∣ θ Z ∣ = 1 . Equality in the triangle inequality therefore forces θ Z 2 = 1 \theta_Z^2=1 θ Z 2 = 1 whenever m x ( Z ) > 0 m_x(Z)>0 m x ( Z ) > 0 . The first indicator of x x x vanishes, so the two twist sectors have equal dimension. ◻
Call a simple central object low if its restriction contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 , or equivalently if it occurs in I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) . This terminology will only be used in this section.
By (3.25) and (2.6) ,
I ( 1 ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ ⨁ λ ≠ 1 C λ , \begin{equation}
I(\mathbf 1)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus A\oplus B\oplus\bigoplus_{\lambda\ne1}C_\lambda, \tag*{(3.26)}
\end{equation} I ( 1 ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ λ = 1 ⨁ C λ , (3.26)
where A , B , C λ A,B,C_\lambda A , B , C λ correspond to χ − , η , λ \chi_-,\eta,\lambda χ − , η , λ , respectively. Their dimensions are
dim A = 1 + d , dim B = d + 2 , dim C λ = 2 ( d + 2 ) . \begin{equation}
\dim A=1+d,\qquad \dim B=d+2,\qquad
\dim C_\lambda=2(d+2). \tag*{(3.27)}
\end{equation} dim A = 1 + d , dim B = d + 2 , dim C λ = 2 ( d + 2 ) . (3.27)
All of them have twist 1 1 1 .
The coefficient of d d d in a restriction dimension is its ρ \rho ρ -multiplicity. Since each low object contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 once, irrationality gives
F ( A ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ , F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ ρ \begin{equation}
F(A)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus \rho,\qquad F(B)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus g\oplus \rho \tag*{(3.28)}
\end{equation} F ( A ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ , F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ ρ (3.28)
for some nontrivial g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G . Fix this g g g and label the other elements h , k = g h h,k=gh h , k = g h . These are the labels f , g , h f,g,h f , g , h , respectively, from § 3.1 ; this local relabeling is used throughout the R 8 R_8 R 8 obstruction. A restriction F C λ FC_\lambda F C λ contains ρ \rho ρ twice; its integral part has dimension 4 4 4 . Set b λ = [ F C λ , t ] b_\lambda=[FC_\lambda,t] b λ = [ F C λ , t ] . Symmetry of S \mathsf S S , applied to B , C λ B,C_\lambda B , C λ , gives
2 ( d + 2 ) ( 1 + λ ( g ) ) = ( d + 2 ) ( 4 − 4 b λ ) . 2(d+2)(1+\lambda(g))=(d+2)(4-4b_\lambda). 2 ( d + 2 ) ( 1 + λ ( g )) = ( d + 2 ) ( 4 − 4 b λ ) .
Thus
b λ = 1 − λ ( g ) 2 . \begin{equation}
b_\lambda=\frac{1-\lambda(g)}2. \tag*{(3.29)}
\end{equation} b λ = 2 1 − λ ( g ) . (3.29)
Precisely one of the three objects, denoted C 0 C_0 C 0 , has b λ = 0 b_\lambda=0 b λ = 0 ; the other two have b λ = 1 b_\lambda=1 b λ = 1 .
By the first row of (3.22) , the low contributions to I ( g ) , I ( h ) I(g),I(h) I ( g ) , I ( h ) , and I ( k ) I(k) I ( k ) have dimensions
3 ( d + 2 ) , 4 ( d + 2 ) , 4 ( d + 2 ) , \begin{equation}
3(d+2),\qquad4(d+2),\qquad4(d+2), \tag*{(3.30)}
\end{equation} 3 ( d + 2 ) , 4 ( d + 2 ) , 4 ( d + 2 ) , (3.30)
respectively. For g g g , the contribution is B B B together with one C λ C_\lambda C λ , counted with multiplicity; for h h h and k k k it consists of two C λ C_\lambda C λ ’s, counted with multiplicity. In particular, Lemma 3.15 implies that every nonlow central simple whose restriction contains h h h or k k k has twist − 1 -1 − 1 .
Lemma 3.16. There is a central invertible P P P with F ( P ) ≅ g F(P)\cong g F ( P ) ≅ g , P ⊗ P ≅ 1 P\otimes P\cong \mathbf 1 P ⊗ P ≅ 1 , and θ P = 1 \theta_P=1 θ P = 1 . After naming the two remaining low objects C h , C k C_h,C_k C h , C k , their restrictions are F ( C 0 ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ h ⊕ k ⊕ 2 ρ , F ( C h ) ≅ 1 ⊕ h ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ , F ( C k ) ≅ 1 ⊕ k ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ . \begin{aligned}
F(C_0)&\cong \mathbf 1\oplus g\oplus h\oplus k\oplus 2 \rho,\\
F(C_h)&\cong \mathbf 1\oplus h\oplus t\oplus 2 \rho,\qquad
F(C_k)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus k\oplus t\oplus 2 \rho.\end{aligned} F ( C 0 ) F ( C h ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ h ⊕ k ⊕ 2 ρ , ≅ 1 ⊕ h ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ , F ( C k ) ≅ 1 ⊕ k ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ . Moreover, P ⊗ B ≅ B P\otimes B\cong B P ⊗ B ≅ B , P ⊗ C 0 ≅ C 0 P\otimes C_0\cong C_0 P ⊗ C 0 ≅ C 0 , and the six summands of I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) are B , C 0 , P , P ⊗ A , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k , B,\ C_0,\ P,\ P\otimes A,\ P\otimes C_h,\ P\otimes C_k, B , C 0 , P , P ⊗ A , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k , each with multiplicity one. The first four have twist 1 1 1 and the last two have twist − 1 -1 − 1 .
Proof. By (3.30) and Lemma 3.15 , the nonlow twist-1 1 1 part of I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) has dimension d + 2 d+2 d + 2 . Its simple constituents cannot contain h h h or k k k in their restrictions. Write their restrictions as r g ⊕ b t ⊕ c ρ r g\oplus b t\oplus c \rho r g ⊕ b t ⊕ c ρ , with r ≥ 1 r\ge1 r ≥ 1 , b , c ≥ 0 b,c\ge0 b , c ≥ 0 . Since each occurs in I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) with multiplicity r r r , comparison of the coefficients of 1 , d 1,d 1 , d gives
∑ r c = 1 , ∑ ( r 2 + 2 r b ) = 2. \begin{equation}
\sum rc=1,\qquad \sum(r^2+2rb)=2. \tag*{(3.32)}
\end{equation} ∑ r c = 1 , ∑ ( r 2 + 2 r b ) = 2. (3.32) The first equation gives exactly one constituent with r = c = 1 r=c=1 r = c = 1 ; its b b b is zero by the second equation. The remaining contribution to the second equation is 1 1 1 , so there is exactly one further constituent, with ( r , b , c ) = ( 1 , 0 , 0 ) (r,b,c)=(1,0,0) ( r , b , c ) = ( 1 , 0 , 0 ) . Denote the latter by P P P . It has dimension one, F P ≅ g FP\cong g F P ≅ g , and twist 1 1 1 . Lemma 3.14 implies P ⊗ P ≅ 1 P\otimes P\cong \mathbf 1 P ⊗ P ≅ 1 . Let Z Z Z be the former constituent, with F ( Z ) ≅ g ⊕ ρ F(Z)\cong g\oplus\rho F ( Z ) ≅ g ⊕ ρ . The simple object P ⊗ Z P\otimes Z P ⊗ Z forgets to 1 ⊕ ρ \mathbf 1\oplus\rho 1 ⊕ ρ , so by adjunction it occurs in I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) . The unique summand of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) of dimension 1 + d 1+d 1 + d is A A A . Hence P ⊗ Z ≅ A P\otimes Z\cong A P ⊗ Z ≅ A , and P 2 ≅ 1 P^2\cong\mathbf 1 P 2 ≅ 1 gives Z ≅ P ⊗ A Z\cong P\otimes A Z ≅ P ⊗ A .
The restriction of P ⊗ B P\otimes B P ⊗ B equals F B FB F B and contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 . Among the low objects only B B B has dimension d + 2 d+2 d + 2 , hence P ⊗ B ≅ B P\otimes B\cong B P ⊗ B ≅ B . Equations (2.6) and (2.5) give
θ P ⊗ C λ = λ ( g ) . \begin{equation}
\theta_{P\otimes C_\lambda}=\lambda(g). \tag*{(3.33)}
\end{equation} θ P ⊗ C λ = λ ( g ) . (3.33) If F ( C 0 ) F(C_0) F ( C 0 ) did not contain g g g , then P ⊗ C 0 P\otimes C_0 P ⊗ C 0 would be nonlow with twist 1 1 1 . Its restriction would contain h h h or k k k , because the integral part of F ( C 0 ) F(C_0) F ( C 0 ) has dimension 4 4 4 , contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 once, and has no t t t . This contradicts the observation after (3.30) . Thus P ⊗ C 0 P\otimes C_0 P ⊗ C 0 is low. It has no t t t in its restriction, so P ⊗ C 0 ≅ C 0 P\otimes C_0\cong C_0 P ⊗ C 0 ≅ C 0 by (3.29) . Invariance under g g g now forces [ F ( C 0 ) , g ] = 1 [F(C_0),g]=1 [ F ( C 0 ) , g ] = 1 and equal coefficients on h , k h,k h , k ; the integral dimension is 4 4 4 , proving (3.31) .
The first row of (3.22) now forces the two remaining restrictions to be those in r8:eq:Chk . Their P P P -translates have restrictions
F ( P ⊗ C h ) ≅ g ⊕ k ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ , F ( P ⊗ C k ) ≅ g ⊕ h ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ \begin{equation}
F(P\otimes C_h)\cong g\oplus k\oplus t\oplus 2 \rho,\qquad
F(P\otimes C_k)\cong g\oplus h\oplus t\oplus 2 \rho \tag*{(3.34)}
\end{equation} F ( P ⊗ C h ) ≅ g ⊕ k ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ , F ( P ⊗ C k ) ≅ g ⊕ h ⊕ t ⊕ 2 ρ (3.34) and twist − 1 -1 − 1 by (3.33) . These, together with B , C 0 , P , P ⊗ A B,C_0,P,P\otimes A B , C 0 , P , P ⊗ A , are six distinct simples containing g g g once. Since M g , g = 6 M_{g,g}=6 M g , g = 6 , they exhaust I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) . ◻
Table 1. All central simples whose restrictions meet G G G . Here ε = 1 + d \varepsilon=1+d ε = 1 + d .
Proposition 3.17. There is a central invertible object Q Q Q with F Q ≅ h FQ\cong h F Q ≅ h . The fifteen simple objects in Table 1 are exactly the central simples whose restrictions contain an invertible object of C \mathcal C C . The group of central invertibles is { 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q } ≅ C 2 2 \{\mathbf 1,P,Q,P\otimes Q\}\cong C_2^2 { 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q } ≅ C 2 2 .
Proof. Consider the ten objects consisting of the six in (3.26) and P , P ⊗ A , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k P,P\otimes A,P\otimes C_h,P\otimes C_k P , P ⊗ A , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k . Lemma 3.16 exhausts both I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) and I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) . The four objects C h , C k , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k C_h,C_k,P\otimes C_h,P\otimes C_k C h , C k , P ⊗ C h , P ⊗ C k already exhaust the mixed Gram entries M h , t = M k , t = 2 M_{h,t}=M_{k,t}=2 M h , t = M k , t = 2 . Every further simple meeting h h h or k k k consequently has restriction
a h ⊕ b k ⊕ c ρ . a h\oplus b k\oplus c \rho. ah ⊕ bk ⊕ c ρ . Subtracting the contributions of the ten known objects from (3.22) gives
∑ a 2 = ∑ b 2 = 3 , ∑ a b = 1 , ∑ a c = ∑ b c = 2. \begin{equation}
\sum a^2=\sum b^2=3,\qquad
\sum ab=1,\qquad
\sum ac=\sum bc=2. \tag*{(3.35)}
\end{equation} ∑ a 2 = ∑ b 2 = 3 , ∑ ab = 1 , ∑ a c = ∑ b c = 2. (3.35) The first two square sums imply a , b ∈ { 0 , 1 } a,b\in\{0,1\} a , b ∈ { 0 , 1 } . Thus there is one simple containing both h , k h,k h , k , two containing only h h h , and two containing only k k k . Let z z z be the ρ \rho ρ -multiplicity of the first of these; then z ∈ { 0 , 1 , 2 } z\in\{0,1,2\} z ∈ { 0 , 1 , 2 } .
If z = 2 z=2 z = 2 , both h h h -only objects have restriction h h h , contrary to the uniqueness in Lemma 3.14 . Suppose z = 0 z=0 z = 0 and denote the object with restriction h ⊕ k h\oplus k h ⊕ k by E E E . Uniqueness of the object containing both h , k h,k h , k gives E ∗ ≅ E E^*\cong E E ∗ ≅ E and P ⊗ E ≅ E P\otimes E\cong E P ⊗ E ≅ E . The restriction of E ⊗ E E\otimes E E ⊗ E is 2 ( 1 ⊕ g ) 2 (\mathbf 1\oplus g) 2 ( 1 ⊕ g ) . Among the already exhausted summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) and I ( g ) I(g) I ( g ) , only 1 , P \mathbf 1,P 1 , P have restrictions supported on { 1 , g } \{\mathbf 1,g\} { 1 , g } . They are therefore the only possible constituents of E ⊗ E E\otimes E E ⊗ E . Reciprocity gives each multiplicity one, contradicting dim ( E ⊗ E ) = 4 \dim(E\otimes E)=4 dim ( E ⊗ E ) = 4 .
Hence z = 1 z=1 z = 1 . The two h h h -only objects have respective restrictions h h h and h ⊕ ρ h\oplus \rho h ⊕ ρ . The former is an invertible Q Q Q , and the latter is Q ⊗ A Q\otimes A Q ⊗ A . Their P P P -translates give the two k k k -only objects. The remaining object is Q ⊗ B Q\otimes B Q ⊗ B , with restriction h ⊕ k ⊕ ρ h\oplus k\oplus \rho h ⊕ k ⊕ ρ . All five have twist − 1 -1 − 1 by (3.30) . Their restrictions distinguish them and exhaust the possibilities in (3.35) . Lemma 3.14 gives Q ⊗ Q ≅ 1 Q\otimes Q\cong \mathbf 1 Q ⊗ Q ≅ 1 and uniqueness of the four central invertibles; they commute because the Drinfeld center Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) is braided. This proves the table and the assertion of exhaustiveness. ◻
Let R \mathcal R R be the set of central simples not in Table 1 . By Proposition 3.17 , each has restriction
F Z ≅ b Z t ⊕ c Z ρ , b Z , c Z ∈ Z ≥ 0 . \begin{equation}
FZ\cong b_Z t\oplus c_Z \rho,\qquad b_Z,c_Z\in\mathbb Z_{\ge0}. \tag*{(3.36)}
\end{equation} F Z ≅ b Z t ⊕ c Z ρ , b Z , c Z ∈ Z ≥ 0 . (3.36)
Subtracting the fifteen restriction vectors from (3.22) gives
∑ Z ∈ R b Z 2 = 8 , ∑ Z ∈ R b Z c Z = 8 , ∑ Z ∈ R c Z 2 = 54. \begin{equation}
\sum_{Z\in\mathcal R}b_Z^2=8,\qquad
\sum_{Z\in\mathcal R}b_Zc_Z=8,\qquad
\sum_{Z\in\mathcal R}c_Z^2=54. \tag*{(3.37)}
\end{equation} Z ∈ R ∑ b Z 2 = 8 , Z ∈ R ∑ b Z c Z = 8 , Z ∈ R ∑ c Z 2 = 54. (3.37)
Dimension restrictions
Lemma 3.18. For every Z ∈ R Z\in\mathcal R Z ∈ R , its restriction lies on one of the four rays b t , b ( t ⊕ ρ ) , b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) , c ρ , b t,\qquad b (t\oplus\rho),\qquad b (t\oplus 2 \rho),\qquad c \rho, b t , b ( t ⊕ ρ ) , b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) , c ρ , with positive integer coefficient on the indicated ray.
Proof. If b Z = 0 b_Z=0 b Z = 0 , the assertion is immediate. Otherwise write b = b Z b=b_Z b = b Z , c = c Z c=c_Z c = c Z ; then b ∈ { 1 , 2 } b\in\{1,2\} b ∈ { 1 , 2 } by (3.37) . Let σ \sigma σ be a cyclotomic field automorphism restricting to the nontrivial automorphism of Q ( s ) \mathbb Q(s) Q ( s ) . Signed Galois symmetry of the normalized matrix S / D \mathsf S/D S / D gives a permutation σ ^ \widehat\sigma σ of central simples satisfying
dim σ ^ ( Z ) = D D ′ ∣ σ ( dim Z ) ∣ = ∣ ε σ ( 2 b + c d ) ∣ = ∣ 2 b + ( 2 b − c ) d ∣ . \begin{equation}
\dim\widehat\sigma(Z)=\frac D{D'}\,|\sigma(\dim Z)|
=\left|\varepsilon\sigma(2b+cd)\right|
=\left|2b+(2b-c)d\right|. \tag*{(3.38)}
\end{equation} dim σ ( Z ) = D ′ D ∣ σ ( dim Z ) ∣ = ∣ ε σ ( 2 b + c d ) ∣ = ∣ 2 b + ( 2 b − c ) d ∣ . (3.38) See [27 Section 4.1, equation (4.3)] ; the absolute value records the sign in the signed permutation, since all dimensions are positive. If c > 2 b c>2b c > 2 b , then 2 b + ( 2 b − c ) d < 0 2b+(2b-c)d<0 2 b + ( 2 b − c ) d < 0 , because d > 4 ≥ 2 b d>4\ge2b d > 4 ≥ 2 b . Its absolute value has rational coefficient − 2 b -2b − 2 b in the basis 1 , d 1,d 1 , d . But the dimension of any restriction to C \mathcal C C has nonnegative coefficients in this basis. Hence 0 ≤ c ≤ 2 b 0\le c\le2b 0 ≤ c ≤ 2 b .
For every central simple Z Z Z , the number D / dim Z D/\dim Z D / dim Z is an algebraic integer. Indeed, the formal codegree attached to Z Z Z in the modular category Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) is
f Z = FPdim ( Z ( C ) ) dim ( Z ) 2 = ( D dim Z ) 2 . f_Z=\frac{\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal Z(\mathcal C))}{\dim(Z)^2}=\left(\frac D{\dim Z}\right)^2. f Z = dim ( Z ) 2 FPdim ( Z ( C )) = ( dim Z D ) 2 . Formal codegrees are algebraic integers. Thus D / dim Z D/\dim Z D / dim Z satisfies the monic equation X 2 − f Z = 0 X^2-f_Z=0 X 2 − f Z = 0 over the ring of algebraic integers, and transitivity of integrality shows that it is itself an algebraic integer. If b = 2 b=2 b = 2 , the possibilities c = 1 , 3 c=1,3 c = 1 , 3 would give, respectively,
D 4 + d = 24 + 4 s 5 , D 4 + 3 d = 24 − 4 s 5 . \frac D{4+d}=\frac{24+4s}{5},\qquad
\frac D{4+3d}=\frac{24-4s}{5}. 4 + d D = 5 24 + 4 s , 4 + 3 d D = 5 24 − 4 s . Both have nonintegral field trace 48 / 5 48/5 48/5 , so neither is an algebraic integer. The remaining pairs ( b , c ) (b,c) ( b , c ) give exactly the four stated rays. ◻
Lemma 3.19. There is at most one central simple U U U whose restriction is supported on t t t ; if it exists, F ( U ) ≅ t F(U)\cong t F ( U ) ≅ t . There is then exactly one residual simple with restriction on the ray b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) b (t\oplus 2 \rho) b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) , namely U ⊗ A U\otimes A U ⊗ A , and F ( U ⊗ A ) ≅ t ⊕ 2 ρ , θ U ⊗ A = θ U . F(U\otimes A)\cong t\oplus 2 \rho,\qquad \theta_{U\otimes A}=\theta_U. F ( U ⊗ A ) ≅ t ⊕ 2 ρ , θ U ⊗ A = θ U . If U U U does not exist, there are no residual simples on that ray.
Proof. Suppose F U ≅ b t FU\cong b t F U ≅ b t . The restriction of U ⊗ U ∗ U\otimes U^* U ⊗ U ∗ is supported on G G G . By Proposition 3.17 , every simple constituent is one of 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q \mathbf 1,P,Q,P\otimes Q 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q . Each has multiplicity at most one, since for an invertible L L L ,
[ U ⊗ U ∗ , L ] = dim Hom ( L ⊗ U , U ) ≤ 1. [U\otimes U^*,L]=\dim\operatorname{Hom}(L\otimes U,U)\le1. [ U ⊗ U ∗ , L ] = dim Hom ( L ⊗ U , U ) ≤ 1. Consequently 4 b 2 = dim ( U ⊗ U ∗ ) ≤ 4 4b^2=\dim(U\otimes U^*)\le4 4 b 2 = dim ( U ⊗ U ∗ ) ≤ 4 , so b = 1 b=1 b = 1 and
U ∗ ⊗ U ≅ U ⊗ U ∗ ≅ 1 ⊕ P ⊕ Q ⊕ ( P ⊗ Q ) . \begin{equation}
U^*\otimes U\cong U\otimes U^*\cong \mathbf 1\oplus P\oplus Q\oplus (P\otimes Q). \tag*{(3.39)}
\end{equation} U ∗ ⊗ U ≅ U ⊗ U ∗ ≅ 1 ⊕ P ⊕ Q ⊕ ( P ⊗ Q ) . (3.39) If distinct U , V U,V U , V both restricted to t t t , then U ⊗ V ∗ U\otimes V^* U ⊗ V ∗ would be supported on the same four central invertibles, each with multiplicity at most one, but would not contain 1 \mathbf 1 1 . This contradicts dim ( U ⊗ V ∗ ) = 4 \dim(U\otimes V^*)=4 dim ( U ⊗ V ∗ ) = 4 .
The dimension transformation in (3.38) interchanges 2 b 2b 2 b and 2 b + 2 b d 2b+2bd 2 b + 2 b d . None of these dimensions, for b = 1 , 2 b=1,2 b = 1 , 2 , occurs in Table 1 . A simple of either dimension must therefore be residual, and irrationality identifies its restriction as b t b t b t or b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) b (t\oplus 2 \rho) b ( t ⊕ 2 ρ ) . The Galois permutation gives equal numbers of objects of each paired dimension. Thus there is exactly one object on the latter ray when U U U exists, and none otherwise.
To identify that object, reciprocity and (3.39) give
dim End ( U ⊗ A ) = ∑ L ∈ { 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q } dim Hom ( A , L ⊗ A ) = 1. \dim\operatorname{End}(U\otimes A)=\sum_{L\in\{\mathbf 1,P,Q,P\otimes Q\}}\dim\operatorname{Hom}(A,L\otimes A)=1. dim End ( U ⊗ A ) = L ∈ { 1 , P , Q , P ⊗ Q } ∑ dim Hom ( A , L ⊗ A ) = 1. Indeed, the four restrictions F ( L ⊗ A ) ≅ F L ⊕ ρ F(L\otimes A)\cong FL\oplus \rho F ( L ⊗ A ) ≅ F L ⊕ ρ are distinct. Therefore U ⊗ A U\otimes A U ⊗ A is simple and F ( U ⊗ A ) ≅ t ⊕ 2 ρ F(U\otimes A)\cong t\oplus 2 \rho F ( U ⊗ A ) ≅ t ⊕ 2 ρ . Finally (2.6) , for the character χ − \chi_- χ − of A A A , gives S A , U = 2 ε = dim ( U ⊗ A ) \mathsf S_{A,U}=2\varepsilon=\dim(U\otimes A) S A , U = 2 ε = dim ( U ⊗ A ) . Since U ⊗ A U\otimes A U ⊗ A is simple and θ A = 1 \theta_A=1 θ A = 1 , the balancing identity (2.5) implies θ U ⊗ A = θ U \theta_{U\otimes A}=\theta_U θ U ⊗ A = θ U . ◻
A multiset of forty-six twists
Let x ∈ { 0 , 1 } x\in\{0,1\} x ∈ { 0 , 1 } record whether U U U exists. Denote the remaining residual simples by V V V and W W W according to their restrictions
F V ≅ b V ( t ⊕ ρ ) , F W ≅ c W ρ . FV\cong b_V (t\oplus\rho),\qquad FW\cong c_W \rho. F V ≅ b V ( t ⊕ ρ ) , F W ≅ c W ρ .
Equations (3.37) and Lemma 3.19 become
∑ V b V 2 = 8 − 2 x , ∑ W c W 2 = 46 − 2 x . \begin{equation}
\sum_Vb_V^2=8-2x,\qquad
\sum_Wc_W^2=46-2x. \tag*{(3.40)}
\end{equation} V ∑ b V 2 = 8 − 2 x , W ∑ c W 2 = 46 − 2 x . (3.40)
Define a multiset Λ \Lambda Λ by taking c W 2 c_W^2 c W 2 copies of θ W \theta_W θ W for each W W W , and, when x = 1 x=1 x = 1 , two additional copies of θ U \theta_U θ U . In particular,
∣ Λ ∣ = 46. \begin{equation}
|\Lambda|=46. \tag*{(3.41)}
\end{equation} ∣Λ∣ = 46. (3.41)
Put p n = ∑ ζ ∈ Λ ζ n p_n=\sum_{\zeta\in\Lambda}\zeta^n p n = ∑ ζ ∈ Λ ζ n .
Proposition 3.20. One has ν 2 ( t ) = 1 \nu_2(t)=1 ν 2 ( t ) = 1 . If ϵ ρ = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } \epsilon_{\rho}=\nu_2(\rho)\in\{1,-1\} ϵ ρ = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } , then p 1 = − 2 s , p 2 = − 2 + ( 4 ϵ ρ − 12 ) s , p 4 = − 2 + 4 s ( ν 4 ( ρ ) − ν 4 ( t ) − 2 ) . \begin{aligned}
p_1&=-2s,\\
p_2&=-2+(4\epsilon_{\rho}-12)s,\\
p_4&=-2+4s\bigl(\nu_4(\rho)-\nu_4(t)-2\bigr).
\end{aligned} p 1 p 2 p 4 = − 2 s , = − 2 + ( 4 ϵ ρ − 12 ) s , = − 2 + 4 s ( ν 4 ( ρ ) − ν 4 ( t ) − 2 ) .
Proof. In the difference between the two indicator sums (3.23) for ρ \rho ρ and t t t , the V V V -contributions cancel. Each W W W contributes c W 2 d θ W n c_W^2d\theta_W^n c W 2 d θ W n . If U U U exists, its contribution is − 2 θ U n -2\theta_U^n − 2 θ U n , whereas that of U ⊗ A U\otimes A U ⊗ A is ( 2 + 2 d ) θ U n (2+2d)\theta_U^n ( 2 + 2 d ) θ U n by Lemma 3.19 ; their sum is 2 d θ U n 2d\theta_U^n 2 d θ U n . Thus the full residual contribution is d p n dp_n d p n .
Let K n K_n K n denote the contribution from Table 1 to this difference. The table gives
K n = ( 12 + 7 d ) ( 1 + ( − 1 ) n ) + 8 + 4 d = { 4 ( d + 2 ) , n odd , 18 d + 32 , n even . \begin{equation}
K_n=(12+7d)(1+(-1)^n)+8+4d
=\begin{cases}
4(d+2),&n\text{ odd},\\
18d+32,&n\text{ even}.
\end{cases} \tag*{(3.43)}
\end{equation} K n = ( 12 + 7 d ) ( 1 + ( − 1 ) n ) + 8 + 4 d = { 4 ( d + 2 ) , 18 d + 32 , n odd , n even . (3.43) Therefore
p n = D ( ν n ( ρ ) − ν n ( t ) ) − K n d . \begin{equation}
p_n=\frac{D(\nu_n(\rho)-\nu_n(t))-K_n}{d}. \tag*{(3.44)}
\end{equation} p n = d D ( ν n ( ρ ) − ν n ( t )) − K n . (3.44) The first indicators of t , ρ t,\rho t , ρ vanish, so p 1 = − 4 ( d + 2 ) / d = − 2 s p_1=-4(d+2)/d=-2s p 1 = − 4 ( d + 2 ) / d = − 2 s .
Exactly four objects in Table 1 contain t t t , each once and each of dimension 2 ( d + 2 ) 2(d+2) 2 ( d + 2 ) . Their twists are 1 , 1 , − 1 , − 1 1,1,-1,-1 1 , 1 , − 1 , − 1 . Their contribution to the twist-square trace of I ( t ) I(t) I ( t ) is therefore 8 ( d + 2 ) = D 8(d+2)=D 8 ( d + 2 ) = D . The remaining summands of I ( t ) I(t) I ( t ) also have total dimension D D D , since dim I ( t ) = 2 D \dim I(t)=2D dim I ( t ) = 2 D . If ν 2 ( t ) = − 1 \nu_2(t)=-1 ν 2 ( t ) = − 1 , their twist-square trace would have to equal − 2 D -2D − 2 D , contradicting the triangle inequality. Hence ν 2 ( t ) = 1 \nu_2(t)=1 ν 2 ( t ) = 1 .
Finally D / d = 4 s D/d=4s D / d = 4 s and ( 18 d + 32 ) / d = 2 + 8 s (18d+32)/d=2+8s ( 18 d + 32 ) / d = 2 + 8 s . Substitution in (3.44) for n = 2 , 4 n=2,4 n = 2 , 4 proves r8:eq:p2 and r8:eq:p4 . ◻
Let K = Q ( 6 ) K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt6) K = Q ( 6 ) . Fix a cyclotomic field L = Q ( ζ N ) L=\mathbb Q(\zeta_N) L = Q ( ζ N ) with 24 ∣ N 24\mid N 24 ∣ N and with no prime divisors of N N N other than 2 , 3 2,3 2 , 3 . Here ζ m = exp ( 2 π i / m ) \zeta_m=\exp(2\pi\mathrm i/m) ζ m = exp ( 2 π i / m ) . Define
P = 1 [ L : K ] Tr L / K , P ( z ) = a ( z ) + b ( z ) 6 , a ( z ) , b ( z ) ∈ Q . \begin{equation}
P=\frac1{[L:K]}\operatorname{Tr}_{L/K},\qquad
P(z)=a(z)+b(z)\sqrt6,\qquad a(z),b(z)\in\mathbb Q. \tag*{(3.45)}
\end{equation} P = [ L : K ] 1 Tr L / K , P ( z ) = a ( z ) + b ( z ) 6 , a ( z ) , b ( z ) ∈ Q . (3.45)
The functions a , b a,b a , b are Q \mathbb Q Q -linear. By transitivity of normalized trace, their values on a fixed algebraic number do not change if L L L is enlarged within this class of cyclotomic fields.
Lemma 3.21. If ζ ∈ L \zeta\in L ζ ∈ L has exact order m m m , the quantities needed below are m ∣ b ( ζ ) ∣ ∣ b ( ζ 2 ) ∣ a ( ζ 2 ) + a ( ζ 4 ) 1 , 2 0 0 2 3 , 6 , 8 0 0 − 1 24 1 / 4 0 1 / 2 48 0 1 / 4 0 all other m 0 0 0.
\begin{array}{c|ccc}
m&|b(\zeta)|&|b(\zeta^2)|&a(\zeta^2)+a(\zeta^4)\\ \hline
1,2&0&0&2\\
3,6,8&0&0&-1\\
24&1/4&0&1/2\\
48&0&1/4&0\\
\text{all other }m&0&0&0.
\end{array}
m 1 , 2 3 , 6 , 8 24 48 all other m ∣ b ( ζ ) ∣ 0 0 1/4 0 0 ∣ b ( ζ 2 ) ∣ 0 0 0 1/4 0 a ( ζ 2 ) + a ( ζ 4 ) 2 − 1 1/2 0 0.
Proof. The conductor of K K K is 24 24 24 . If 24 ∤ m 24\nmid m 24 ∤ m , then K ∩ Q ( ζ m ) = Q K\cap\mathbb Q(\zeta_m)=\mathbb Q K ∩ Q ( ζ m ) = Q , and P ( ζ ) P(\zeta) P ( ζ ) is rational. If 24 ∣ m 24\mid m 24 ∣ m but m > 24 m>24 m > 24 , choose p ∈ { 2 , 3 } p\in\{2,3\} p ∈ { 2 , 3 } with 24 ∣ m / p 24\mid m/p 24 ∣ m / p . The conjugates of a primitive m m m th root over Q ( ζ m / p ) \mathbb Q(\zeta_{m/p}) Q ( ζ m / p ) are obtained by multiplication by the p p p th roots of unity, so their sum is zero. Transitivity gives P ( ζ ) = 0 P(\zeta)=0 P ( ζ ) = 0 .
For m = 24 m=24 m = 24 , the kernel of the quadratic character associated with K K K is { 1 , 5 , 19 , 23 } ⊂ ( Z / 24 Z ) × \{1,5,19,23\}\subset(\mathbb Z/24\mathbb Z)^\times { 1 , 5 , 19 , 23 } ⊂ ( Z /24 Z ) × , and
ζ 24 + ζ 24 5 + ζ 24 19 + ζ 24 23 = 6 . \zeta_{24}+\zeta_{24}^{5}+\zeta_{24}^{19}+\zeta_{24}^{23}=\sqrt6. ζ 24 + ζ 24 5 + ζ 24 19 + ζ 24 23 = 6 . The sum over the other coset is − 6 -\sqrt6 − 6 . Hence a primitive 24 24 24 th root has relative trace 6 / 4 \sqrt6/4 6 /4 or − 6 / 4 -\sqrt6/4 − 6 /4 . This proves the first column of absolute values. Applying it to ζ 2 \zeta^2 ζ 2 proves the second: the order of ζ 2 \zeta^2 ζ 2 is 24 24 24 precisely when m = 48 m=48 m = 48 .
Since a ( z ) a(z) a ( z ) is normalized absolute trace from L L L to Q \mathbb Q Q , the usual primitive-root sum, or Möbius inversion, gives
a ( ζ j ) = μ ( e j ) φ ( e j ) , e j = m gcd ( m , j ) . \begin{equation}
a(\zeta^j)=\frac{\mu(e_j)}{\varphi(e_j)},\qquad
e_j=\frac m{\gcd(m,j)}. \tag*{(3.47)}
\end{equation} a ( ζ j ) = φ ( e j ) μ ( e j ) , e j = g cd( m , j ) m . (3.47) Here μ \mu μ is the Möbius function and φ \varphi φ is Euler’s totient. For m = 2 u 3 v m=2^u3^v m = 2 u 3 v , substitution of j = 2 , 4 j=2,4 j = 2 , 4 into (3.47) gives the final column of (3.46) . In particular, if v ≥ 2 v\ge2 v ≥ 2 both terms vanish, and if v ≤ 1 v\le1 v ≤ 1 the remaining values depend only on u ≤ 3 u\le3 u ≤ 3 , except that all larger u u u give zero. ◻
Theorem 3.22. Let Λ \Lambda Λ be a finite multiset of roots of unity whose orders have no prime divisors other than 2 , 3 2,3 2 , 3 , and set p j = ∑ ζ ∈ Λ ζ j p_j=\sum_{\zeta\in\Lambda}\zeta^j p j = ∑ ζ ∈ Λ ζ j . Choose L L L containing these roots and ζ 24 \zeta_{24} ζ 24 , and define a , b a,b a , b by (3.45) . Then ∣ Λ ∣ ≥ 6 ∣ b ( p 1 ) ∣ + 4 ∣ b ( p 2 ) ∣ − a ( p 2 + p 4 ) .
|\Lambda|\ge 6|b(p_1)|+4|b(p_2)|-a(p_2+p_4).
∣Λ∣ ≥ 6∣ b ( p 1 ) ∣ + 4∣ b ( p 2 ) ∣ − a ( p 2 + p 4 ) .
Proof. Each row of (3.46) gives the pointwise inequality
1 + a ( ζ 2 ) + a ( ζ 4 ) ≥ 6 ∣ b ( ζ ) ∣ + 4 ∣ b ( ζ 2 ) ∣ . 1+a(\zeta^2)+a(\zeta^4)
\ge6|b(\zeta)|+4|b(\zeta^2)|. 1 + a ( ζ 2 ) + a ( ζ 4 ) ≥ 6∣ b ( ζ ) ∣ + 4∣ b ( ζ 2 ) ∣. Sum over the multiset and apply the triangle inequality separately to the two sums of b b b -coefficients. Linearity of a , b a,b a , b gives (3.48) . ◻
Example 3.23. The conditions
p 1 = − 2 6 , p 2 = − 2 − 8 6 , p 4 = − 2 \begin{equation}
p_1=-2\sqrt6,\qquad p_2=-2-8\sqrt6,\qquad p_4=-2 \tag*{(3.49)}
\end{equation} p 1 = − 2 6 , p 2 = − 2 − 8 6 , p 4 = − 2 (3.49) are attained by a multiset of size 48 48 48 . To see this, put
E 24 = { ζ 24 r : r ∈ { 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 } } , E 48 = { ζ 48 r : 0 ≤ r < 48 , r m o d 24 ∈ { 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 } } , E_{24}=\{\zeta_{24}^r:r\in\{7,11,13,17\}\},\qquad
E_{48}=\{\zeta_{48}^r:0\le r<48,\ r\bmod24\in\{7,11,13,17\}\}, E 24 = { ζ 24 r : r ∈ { 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 }} , E 48 = { ζ 48 r : 0 ≤ r < 48 , r mod 24 ∈ { 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 }} , and let P m \mathcal P_m P m be the set of primitive m m m th roots. With an integer multiple of a set denoting repeated copies, take
Λ ∗ = 2 E 24 ⊔ 4 E 48 ⊔ P 8 ⊔ P 3 ⊔ P 6 . \Lambda_*=2E_{24}\sqcup4E_{48}\sqcup\mathcal P_8
\sqcup\mathcal P_3\sqcup\mathcal P_6. Λ ∗ = 2 E 24 ⊔ 4 E 48 ⊔ P 8 ⊔ P 3 ⊔ P 6 . The contributions to ( p 1 , p 2 , p 4 ) (p_1,p_2,p_4) ( p 1 , p 2 , p 4 ) are respectively
( − 2 6 , 0 , 4 ) , ( 0 , − 8 6 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 0 , − 4 ) , ( − 1 , − 1 , − 1 ) , ( 1 , − 1 , − 1 ) . (-2\sqrt6,0,4),\quad (0,-8\sqrt6,0),\quad
(0,0,-4),\quad(-1,-1,-1),\quad(1,-1,-1). ( − 2 6 , 0 , 4 ) , ( 0 , − 8 6 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 0 , − 4 ) , ( − 1 , − 1 , − 1 ) , ( 1 , − 1 , − 1 ) . They sum to (3.49) , and the cardinality is 8 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 48 8+32+4+2+2=48 8 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 48 . Thus the numerical lower bound used below is exact at the level of these three moments. No categorical realization of this multiset is asserted.
Theorem 3.24. The near-Tambara–Yamagami fusion category C = C ( D , κ ) \mathcal C=\mathcal C(\mathcal D,\kappa) C = C ( D , κ ) with n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 does not exist.
Proof. Work with the hypothetical pseudo-unitary category and the multiset Λ \Lambda Λ constructed before Proposition 3.20 .
The norm of the global dimension is
N K / Q ( D ) = ( 48 + 16 6 ) ( 48 − 16 6 ) = 768 = 2 8 ⋅ 3. N_{K/\mathbb Q}(D)=(48+16\sqrt6)(48-16\sqrt6)=768=2^8\cdot3. N K / Q ( D ) = ( 48 + 16 6 ) ( 48 − 16 6 ) = 768 = 2 8 ⋅ 3. Let N 0 N_0 N 0 be the Frobenius–Schur exponent of C \mathcal C C . The Cauchy theorem [23 Theorem 3.9] identifies the prime ideals dividing the global dimension with those dividing N 0 N_0 N 0 in the appropriate cyclotomic integer ring. Every rational prime dividing N 0 N_0 N 0 must therefore be 2 2 2 or 3 3 3 . The exponent N 0 N_0 N 0 is the order of the twist of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) [38 Theorem 5.5] , so all roots in Λ \Lambda Λ have orders supported on these two primes. We may apply Theorem 3.22 , taking N = lcm ( 24 , N 0 ) N=\operatorname{lcm}(24,N_0) N = lcm ( 24 , N 0 ) .
Equations (3.42) and r8:eq:p2 give
b ( p 1 ) = − 2 , b ( p 2 ) = 4 ϵ ρ − 12 , a ( p 2 ) = − 2 , ϵ ρ = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } . b(p_1)=-2,\qquad b(p_2)=4\epsilon_{\rho}-12,\qquad a(p_2)=-2,
\qquad \epsilon_{\rho}=\nu_2(\rho)\in\{1,-1\}. b ( p 1 ) = − 2 , b ( p 2 ) = 4 ϵ ρ − 12 , a ( p 2 ) = − 2 , ϵ ρ = ν 2 ( ρ ) ∈ { 1 , − 1 } . In particular ∣ b ( p 2 ) ∣ ≥ 8 |b(p_2)|\ge8 ∣ b ( p 2 ) ∣ ≥ 8 . By (3.24) , ν 4 ( ρ ) − ν 4 ( t ) ∈ Z [ i ] \nu_4(\rho)-\nu_4(t)\in\mathbb Z[\mathrm i] ν 4 ( ρ ) − ν 4 ( t ) ∈ Z [ i ] . Complex conjugation fixes K K K , so its normalized relative trace to K K K is rational. In r8:eq:p4 , the term multiplied by 6 \sqrt6 6 consequently contributes no rational coefficient. Thus a ( p 4 ) = − 2 a(p_4)=-2 a ( p 4 ) = − 2 and
a ( p 2 + p 4 ) = − 4. a(p_2+p_4)=-4. a ( p 2 + p 4 ) = − 4. The mixed-moment inequality now requires
46 = ∣ Λ ∣ ≥ 6 ⋅ 2 + 4 ⋅ 8 + 4 = 48 , 46=|\Lambda|\ge6\cdot2+4\cdot8+4=48, 46 = ∣Λ∣ ≥ 6 ⋅ 2 + 4 ⋅ 8 + 4 = 48 , a contradiction. This proves the theorem. ◻
The rational near-Tambara–Yamagami categories
Assume in this section that d = d + ∈ Z d=d_+\in\mathbb Z d = d + ∈ Z . Then C \mathcal C C is integral and pseudo-unitary. The following argument is independent of the irrational case and, in particular, does not assume n = 2 n=2 n = 2 at the outset.
Integral parameter restrictions
Lemma 4.1. There is a positive integer m m m such that d − = − m , d m = 2 n 2 , d > m , κ = d − m . d_-= -m,\qquad dm=2n^2,\qquad d>m,\qquad \kappa=d-m. d − = − m , d m = 2 n 2 , d > m , κ = d − m . Moreover, there are integers a , m ≥ 1 a,m\geq1 a , m ≥ 1 with n = a m , d = 2 a 2 m , κ = m ( 2 a 2 − 1 ) .
n=am,\qquad d=2a^2m,\qquad \kappa=m(2a^2-1).
n = am , d = 2 a 2 m , κ = m ( 2 a 2 − 1 ) .
Proof. The equation d ( d − κ ) = 2 n 2 d(d-\kappa)=2n^2 d ( d − κ ) = 2 n 2 shows that the other root is d − = − m d_-=-m d − = − m for a positive integer m m m . The strict inequality d > m d>m d > m follows from κ > 0 \kappa>0 κ > 0 ; the case κ = 0 \kappa=0 κ = 0 would give d = n 2 d=n\sqrt2 d = n 2 . The formal-codegree summand corresponding to d − d_- d − has dimension
N + d 2 N + d − 2 = − d d − = d 2 N . \frac{N+d^2}{N+d_-^2}=-\frac d{d_-}=\frac{d^2}{N}. N + d − 2 N + d 2 = − d − d = N d 2 . This rational algebraic integer is an integer. Thus ( d / n ) 2 = 2 r (d/n)^2=2r ( d / n ) 2 = 2 r for some r ∈ Z > 0 r\in\mathbb Z_{>0} r ∈ Z > 0 . A rational number whose square is an integer is an integer; since its square is even, d / n d/n d / n is even. Write d / n = 2 a d/n=2a d / n = 2 a with a ≥ 1 a\geq1 a ≥ 1 . The identities d = 2 a n d=2an d = 2 an and d m = 2 n 2 dm=2n^2 d m = 2 n 2 give n = a m n=am n = am . Substitution gives d = 2 a 2 m d=2a^2m d = 2 a 2 m and κ = d − m = m ( 2 a 2 − 1 ) \kappa=d-m=m(2a^2-1) κ = d − m = m ( 2 a 2 − 1 ) , as required. ◻
Lemma 4.2. With the notation of (4.1) , write the multiplicity-free decomposition I ( 1 ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ ⨁ i = 1 n 2 − 1 Y i . I(\mathbf 1)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus A\oplus B\oplus
\bigoplus_{i=1}^{n^2-1}Y_i . I ( 1 ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ ⨁ i = 1 n 2 − 1 Y i . Here 1 , A , B , Y 1 , … , Y n 2 − 1 \mathbf 1,A,B,Y_1,\ldots,Y_{n^2-1} 1 , A , B , Y 1 , … , Y n 2 − 1 are pairwise nonisomorphic simple objects of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) , each occurring once, and FPdim ( A ) = 2 a 2 , FPdim ( B ) = 2 a 2 + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 4 a 2 + 2. \operatorname{FPdim}(A)=2a^2,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(B)=2a^2+1,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(Y_i)=4a^2+2. FPdim ( A ) = 2 a 2 , FPdim ( B ) = 2 a 2 + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 4 a 2 + 2. Every summand Z Z Z satisfies [ F ( Z ) , 1 ] = 1 [F(Z),\mathbf 1]=1 [ F ( Z ) , 1 ] = 1 .
Proof. This is Lemma 2.2 after substituting d = 2 a 2 m d=2a^2m d = 2 a 2 m and m = − d − m=-d_- m = − d − . The formal-codegree theorem gives multiplicity one because K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) is commutative, and adjunction gives the unit multiplicity. ◻
Proposition 4.3. In (4.1) , m ∈ { 1 , 2 } m\in\{1,2\} m ∈ { 1 , 2 } .
Proof. The largest dimension of a summand of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) is 4 a 2 + 2 4a^2+2 4 a 2 + 2 by Lemma 4.2 . Since κ > 0 \kappa>0 κ > 0 , equation (2.11) implies that some summand Z Z Z has [ F ( Z ) , ρ ] > 0 [F(Z),\rho]>0 [ F ( Z ) , ρ ] > 0 . It also contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 , and therefore
FPdim ( Z ) ≥ 1 + d = 1 + 2 a 2 m . \operatorname{FPdim}(Z)\geq 1+d=1+2a^2m. FPdim ( Z ) ≥ 1 + d = 1 + 2 a 2 m . If m ≥ 3 m\geq3 m ≥ 3 , then 1 + 2 a 2 m > 4 a 2 + 2 1+2a^2m>4a^2+2 1 + 2 a 2 m > 4 a 2 + 2 for every a ≥ 1 a\geq1 a ≥ 1 . This is a contradiction. Thus m ≤ 2 m\leq2 m ≤ 2 . ◻
The branch m = 1 m=1 m = 1
Here n = a n=a n = a , d = 2 n 2 d=2n^2 d = 2 n 2 , and κ = 2 n 2 − 1 \kappa=2n^2-1 κ = 2 n 2 − 1 . Put N = 2 n 2 = d N=2n^2=d N = 2 n 2 = d . The summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) have dimensions 1 , N , N + 1 , 2 N + 2 1,N,N+1,2N+2 1 , N , N + 1 , 2 N + 2 .
Lemma 4.4. Let A , B , Y i A,B,Y_i A , B , Y i be the simple summands named in Lemma 4.2 . Thus FPdim ( A ) = N , FPdim ( B ) = N + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 2 N + 2. \operatorname{FPdim}(A)=N,\qquad \operatorname{FPdim}(B)=N+1,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(Y_i)=2N+2 . FPdim ( A ) = N , FPdim ( B ) = N + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 2 N + 2. After relabeling G G G and indexing the Y i Y_i Y i by g ∈ G ∖ { 1 } g\in G\setminus\{\mathbf 1\} g ∈ G ∖ { 1 } as X g X_g X g , their forgetful images are F ( A ) ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g ⊕ n t , F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ , F ( X g ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ 2 ρ ( g ∈ G ∖ { 1 } ) . F(A)\cong \bigoplus_{g\in G}g\oplus n t,\qquad F(B)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus \rho,\qquad
F(X_g)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus g\oplus 2 \rho\quad(g\in G\setminus\{\mathbf 1\}). F ( A ) ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g ⊕ n t , F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ , F ( X g ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ 2 ρ ( g ∈ G ∖ { 1 }) .
Proof. By Lemma 4.2 , every image contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 exactly once. The dimensions of A , B , Y i A,B,Y_i A , B , Y i and the fact that the total ρ \rho ρ coefficient in F ( I ( 1 ) ) F(I(\mathbf 1)) F ( I ( 1 )) is κ = N − 1 \kappa=N-1 κ = N − 1 give the upper bounds 0 , 1 , 2 0,1,2 0 , 1 , 2 for the ρ \rho ρ multiplicities in A , B , Y i A,B,Y_i A , B , Y i , respectively. Their sum is at most
0 + 1 + 2 ( n 2 − 1 ) = N − 1 , 0+1+2(n^2-1)=N-1, 0 + 1 + 2 ( n 2 − 1 ) = N − 1 , which is the total coefficient. Thus all three bounds are attained. The remaining dimension gives F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ F(B)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus \rho F ( B ) ≅ 1 ⊕ ρ and shows that each Y i Y_i Y i has the form 1 ⊕ u i ⊕ 2 ρ \mathbf 1\oplus u_i\oplus 2 \rho 1 ⊕ u i ⊕ 2 ρ with u i ∈ G u_i\in G u i ∈ G . The total t t t coefficient is n n n , so all copies of t t t occur in F ( A ) F(A) F ( A ) . Write
F ( A ) ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G a g g ⊕ n t . F(A)\cong \bigoplus_{g\in G}a_g g\oplus n t . F ( A ) ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ a g g ⊕ n t . Since FPdim ( A ) = N = 2 n 2 \operatorname{FPdim}(A)=N=2n^2 FPdim ( A ) = N = 2 n 2 , dimension gives ∑ g ∈ G a g = n 2 \sum_{g\in G}a_g=n^2 ∑ g ∈ G a g = n 2 . Using adjunction for g g g and t t t ,
n = [ F ( I ( g ) ) , t ] = ∑ Z [ F ( Z ) , g ] [ F ( Z ) , t ] ≥ a g n , n=[F(I(g)),t]
=\sum_Z[F(Z),g][F(Z),t]\geq a_g n, n = [ F ( I ( g )) , t ] = Z ∑ [ F ( Z ) , g ] [ F ( Z ) , t ] ≥ a g n , so a g ≤ 1 a_g\leq1 a g ≤ 1 for every g g g . Hence a g = 1 a_g=1 a g = 1 for all g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G . Finally, the coefficient of every nonidentity g g g in F ( I ( 1 ) ) F(I(\mathbf 1)) F ( I ( 1 )) is two, whereas F ( A ) F(A) F ( A ) contributes one. Thus the Y i Y_i Y i are indexed exactly once by the nonidentity elements of G G G , giving the notation X g X_g X g and the displayed formulas. ◻
We use the convention for the image of a tensor functor from § 2.3 .
Lemma 4.5. Let L : U → V L:\mathcal U\to\mathcal V L : U → V be a dominant tensor functor with right adjoint R R R . Then FPdim ( U ) FPdim ( V ) = FPdim ( R ( 1 ) ) = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( U ) [ L ( X ) , 1 ] FPdim ( X ) .
\frac{\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal U)}{\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal V)}
=\operatorname{FPdim}(R(\mathbf 1))=\sum_{X\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal U)}[L(X),\mathbf 1]\operatorname{FPdim}(X).
FPdim ( V ) FPdim ( U ) = FPdim ( R ( 1 )) = ∑ X ∈ Irr ( U ) [ L ( X ) , 1 ] FPdim ( X ) . If R ( 1 ) ≅ 1 R(\mathbf 1)\cong \mathbf 1 R ( 1 ) ≅ 1 , then L L L is fully faithful. For a fusion subcategory U ⊂ Z ( C ) \mathcal U\subset\mathcal Z(\mathcal C) U ⊂ Z ( C ) and L = F ∣ U L=F|_{\mathcal U} L = F ∣ U , R ( 1 ) R(\mathbf 1) R ( 1 ) is precisely the part of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) supported in U \mathcal U U .
Proof. The image of the canonical regular element of K 0 ( U ) K_0(\mathcal U) K 0 ( U ) is FPdim ( U ) / FPdim ( V ) \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal U)/\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal V) FPdim ( U ) / FPdim ( V ) times the regular element of K 0 ( V ) K_0(\mathcal V) K 0 ( V ) [29 Proposition 3.3.13] . Taking the coefficient of 1 \mathbf 1 1 and using adjunction proves (4.2) . If R ( 1 ) ≅ 1 R(\mathbf 1)\cong \mathbf 1 R ( 1 ) ≅ 1 , rigidity and adjunction identify Hom ( L ( X ) , L ( Y ) ) \operatorname{Hom}(L(X),L(Y)) Hom ( L ( X ) , L ( Y )) with Hom ( X , Y ) \operatorname{Hom}(X,Y) Hom ( X , Y ) . The final assertion follows from [ R ( 1 ) , Z ] = [ F ( Z ) , 1 ] = [ I ( 1 ) , Z ] [R(\mathbf 1),Z]=[F(Z),\mathbf 1]=[I(\mathbf 1),Z] [ R ( 1 ) , Z ] = [ F ( Z ) , 1 ] = [ I ( 1 ) , Z ] . ◻
Proposition 4.6. If m = 1 m=1 m = 1 , then n = 2 n=2 n = 2 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , d = 8 d=8 d = 8 , and κ = 7 \kappa=7 κ = 7 .
Proof. Let C p t \mathcal C_{\mathrm{pt}} C pt be the pointed subcategory of C \mathcal C C and set P = F − 1 ( C p t ) ⊂ Z ( C ) \mathcal P=F^{-1}(\mathcal C_{\mathrm{pt}})\subset\mathcal Z(\mathcal C) P = F − 1 ( C pt ) ⊂ Z ( C ) . By Lemma 4.4 , the only summand of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) whose forgetful image is pointed is 1 \mathbf 1 1 . Thus the right adjoint of F ∣ P F|_{\mathcal P} F ∣ P sends 1 \mathbf 1 1 to 1 \mathbf 1 1 , and Lemma 4.5 makes F ∣ P F|_{\mathcal P} F ∣ P fully faithful. In particular, the forgetful image of a simple object of P \mathcal P P is a single invertible object, and any such invertible has at most one central lift in P \mathcal P P .
The unique dimension-N N N summand A A A of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) is self-dual. Its forgetful image is the regular object of D \mathcal D D , so F ( A ) 2 ≅ N F ( A ) F(A)^2\cong N F(A) F ( A ) 2 ≅ N F ( A ) . Among the summands of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) , only 1 \mathbf 1 1 and A A A can occur in A 2 A^2 A 2 , since every other summand has a ρ \rho ρ constituent after applying F F F . Adjunction and [ F ( A 2 ) , 1 ] = N [F(A^2),\mathbf 1]=N [ F ( A 2 ) , 1 ] = N therefore give
A 2 ≅ 1 ⊕ ( N − 1 ) A ⊕ W , F ( W ) ≅ ⨁ g ≠ 1 g ⊕ n t . \begin{equation}
A^2\cong\mathbf 1\oplus(N-1)A\oplus W,
\qquad F(W)\cong\bigoplus_{g\ne\mathbf 1}g\oplus nt. \tag*{(4.3)}
\end{equation} A 2 ≅ 1 ⊕ ( N − 1 ) A ⊕ W , F ( W ) ≅ g = 1 ⨁ g ⊕ n t . (4.3) For a central simple Y Y Y , put a g ( Y ) = [ F ( Y ) , g ] a_g(Y)=[F(Y),g] a g ( Y ) = [ F ( Y ) , g ] and b ( Y ) = [ F ( Y ) , t ] b(Y)=[F(Y),t] b ( Y ) = [ F ( Y ) , t ] . The induction-adjunction formula gives
n = [ I ( g ) , I ( t ) ] = ∑ Y a g ( Y ) b ( Y ) ( g ∈ G ) . n=[I(g),I(t)]=\sum_Y a_g(Y)b(Y)\qquad(g\in G). n = [ I ( g ) , I ( t )] = Y ∑ a g ( Y ) b ( Y ) ( g ∈ G ) . The summand A A A contributes 1 ⋅ n = n 1\cdot n=n 1 ⋅ n = n , so nonnegativity implies
a g ( Y ) b ( Y ) = 0 ( g ∈ G , Y ≠ A ) . \begin{equation}
a_g(Y)b(Y)=0\qquad(g\in G,\;Y\ne A). \tag*{(4.4)}
\end{equation} a g ( Y ) b ( Y ) = 0 ( g ∈ G , Y = A ) . (4.4) Every simple constituent of W W W is consequently supported, after applying F F F , either on G G G or on t t t alone. Full faithfulness on P \mathcal P P and the coefficients of F ( W ) F(W) F ( W ) show that the pointed constituents, together with 1 \mathbf 1 1 , give unique central lifts g ~ \widetilde g g of all g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G .
Let T T T be a simple constituent of W W W with F ( T ) ≅ b t F(T)\cong bt F ( T ) ≅ b t , where b > 0 b>0 b > 0 . The object T ⊗ T ∗ T\otimes T^* T ⊗ T ∗ is in P \mathcal P P , and
F ( T ⊗ T ∗ ) ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G b 2 g , [ T ⊗ T ∗ , g ~ ] = [ T , g ~ ⊗ T ] ≤ 1. F(T\otimes T^*)\cong\bigoplus_{g\in G}b^2g,
\qquad
[T\otimes T^*,\widetilde g]
=[T,\widetilde g\otimes T]\le1. F ( T ⊗ T ∗ ) ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ b 2 g , [ T ⊗ T ∗ , g ] = [ T , g ⊗ T ] ≤ 1. Uniqueness of the lifts therefore forces b = 1 b=1 b = 1 . If T ′ T' T ′ is another simple with F ( T ′ ) ≅ t F(T')\cong t F ( T ′ ) ≅ t , then T ⊗ T ′ ∗ T\otimes T'^* T ⊗ T ′ ∗ lies in P \mathcal P P and its forgetful image contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 once. Hence [ T , T ′ ] = [ T ⊗ T ′ ∗ , 1 ] = 1 [T,T']=[T\otimes T'^*,\mathbf 1]=1 [ T , T ′ ] = [ T ⊗ T ′ ∗ , 1 ] = 1 , so T ≅ T ′ T\cong T' T ≅ T ′ . It follows that T ≅ T ∗ T\cong T^* T ≅ T ∗ , g ~ T ≅ T \widetilde gT\cong T g T ≅ T , and
T 2 ≅ ⨁ g ∈ G g ~ , g ~ h ~ ≅ g h ~ . T^2\cong\bigoplus_{g\in G}\widetilde g,
\qquad
\widetilde g\widetilde h\cong\widetilde{gh}. T 2 ≅ g ∈ G ⨁ g , g h ≅ g h . The coefficient of t t t in F ( W ) F(W) F ( W ) gives [ W , T ] = n [W,T]=n [ W , T ] = n ; reciprocity and dimensions now yield
[ T A , A ] = [ A 2 , T ] = n , T A ≅ n A . [T A,A]=[A^2,T]=n,\qquad TA\cong nA. [ T A , A ] = [ A 2 , T ] = n , T A ≅ n A . Thus the subcategory on { g ~ : g ∈ G } ∪ { T } \{\widetilde g:g\in G\}\cup\{T\} { g : g ∈ G } ∪ { T } is a braided Tambara–Yamagami category. By [42 Theorem 1.2(1)] , G G G is elementary abelian of exponent two. Since ∣ G ∣ = n 2 |G|=n^2 ∣ G ∣ = n 2 and n ≥ 2 n\ge2 n ≥ 2 , write n = 2 s n=2^s n = 2 s with s ≥ 1 s\ge1 s ≥ 1 .
We next establish the closure and twists needed for the Tannakian argument. The simple g ~ A \widetilde gA g A has dimension N N N , and F ( g ~ A ) F(\widetilde gA) F ( g A ) contains 1 \mathbf 1 1 . It is therefore a summand of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) , whose unique dimension-N N N summand is A A A . Hence g ~ A ≅ A \widetilde gA\cong A g A ≅ A . Equation (4.3) becomes
A 2 ≅ 1 ⊕ ( N − 1 ) A ⊕ ⨁ g ≠ 1 g ~ ⊕ n T . \begin{equation}
A^2\cong\mathbf 1\oplus(N-1)A\oplus
\bigoplus_{g\ne\mathbf 1}\widetilde g\oplus nT. \tag*{(4.5)}
\end{equation} A 2 ≅ 1 ⊕ ( N − 1 ) A ⊕ g = 1 ⨁ g ⊕ n T . (4.5) Together with the preceding product formulas and self-duality of A , T A,T A , T , this proves that
{ g ~ : g ∈ G } ∪ { T , A } \{\widetilde g:g\in G\}\cup\{T,A\} { g : g ∈ G } ∪ { T , A } is the complete simple-object list of a fusion subcategory E ⊂ Z ( C ) \mathcal E\subset\mathcal Z(\mathcal C) E ⊂ Z ( C ) .
The character associated with A A A is χ − \chi_- χ − , with values χ − ( g ) = 1 \chi_-(g)=1 χ − ( g ) = 1 , χ − ( t ) = n \chi_-(t)=n χ − ( t ) = n , and χ − ( ρ ) = − 1 \chi_-(\rho)=-1 χ − ( ρ ) = − 1 . The induction-character identity (2.6) gives
S A , A = dim ( A ) χ − ( F ( A ) ) = N 2 . \mathsf S_{A,A}
=\dim(A)\chi_-(F(A))=N^2. S A , A = dim ( A ) χ − ( F ( A )) = N 2 . As A ⊂ I ( 1 ) A\subset I(\mathbf 1) A ⊂ I ( 1 ) , its twist is θ A = 1 \theta_A=1 θ A = 1 . Balancing applied to (4.5) consequently gives
N 2 = 1 + ( N − 1 ) N + ∑ g ≠ 1 θ g ~ + n 2 θ T , N^2=1+(N-1)N+
\sum_{g\ne\mathbf 1}\theta_{\widetilde g}+n^2\theta_T, N 2 = 1 + ( N − 1 ) N + g = 1 ∑ θ g + n 2 θ T , or
∑ g ≠ 1 θ g ~ + n 2 θ T = N − 1 = ( n 2 − 1 ) + n 2 . \sum_{g\ne\mathbf 1}\theta_{\widetilde g}+n^2\theta_T
=N-1=(n^2-1)+n^2. g = 1 ∑ θ g + n 2 θ T = N − 1 = ( n 2 − 1 ) + n 2 . All twists have absolute value one. Equality with the sum of the positive weights forces θ g ~ = θ T = 1 \theta_{\widetilde g}= \theta_T=1 θ g = θ T = 1 . Thus every simple of E \mathcal E E has trivial twist. Balancing implies that E \mathcal E E is symmetric. Its inherited positive spherical structure, together with the trivial twist, is the canonical symmetric structure; hence [29 Theorem 9.9.22] makes E \mathcal E E Tannakian.
Write E ≃ Rep ( K ) \mathcal E\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(K) E ≃ Rep ( K ) . The complete simple list gives
∣ K ∣ = ∣ G ∣ + n 2 + N 2 = N ( N + 1 ) . |K|=|G|+n^2+N^2=N(N+1). ∣ K ∣ = ∣ G ∣ + n 2 + N 2 = N ( N + 1 ) . Its Tambara–Yamagami subcategory is Rep ( K / V ) \operatorname{Rep}(K/V) Rep ( K / V ) for a normal subgroup V ⊲ K V\lhd K V ⊲ K , with ∣ K / V ∣ = N |K/V|=N ∣ K / V ∣ = N and ∣ V ∣ = N + 1 |V|=N+1 ∣ V ∣ = N + 1 . The only irreducible representation not inflated from K / V K/V K / V is A A A , of dimension N N N . Restriction of the regular representation gives
Res V K C [ K ] ≅ N C [ V ] . \operatorname{Res}^K_V\mathbb C[K]\cong N\mathbb C[V]. Res V K C [ K ] ≅ N C [ V ] . The inflated part of C [ K ] \mathbb C[K] C [ K ] restricts to N 1 V N\mathbf 1_V N 1 V , while A A A occurs with multiplicity N N N . Cancelling that multiplicity yields
Res V K A ⊕ 1 V ≅ C [ V ] . \operatorname{Res}^K_VA\oplus\mathbf 1_V\cong\mathbb C[V]. Res V K A ⊕ 1 V ≅ C [ V ] . Consequently χ A ( v ) = − 1 \chi_A(v)=-1 χ A ( v ) = − 1 for every v ∈ V ∖ { 1 } v\in V\setminus\{1\} v ∈ V ∖ { 1 } . An irreducible representation inflated from K / V K/V K / V has character value equal to its dimension on all of V V V (in particular T T T has value n n n ). Thus every irreducible character of K K K is constant on V ∖ { 1 } V\setminus\{1\} V ∖ { 1 } , so character separation makes that set a single K K K -conjugacy class.
All its elements have a common prime order p p p : if the common order were composite, a nonidentity proper power would have a different order. Cauchy’s theorem shows that V V V is a p p p -group. Its nontrivial center Z ( V ) Z(V) Z ( V ) is characteristic in V V V , and hence normal in K K K . Transitivity on V ∖ { 1 } V\setminus\{1\} V ∖ { 1 } forces Z ( V ) = V Z(V)=V Z ( V ) = V . Therefore V V V is abelian of exponent p p p , so V ≅ ( C p ) r V\cong(C_p)^r V ≅ ( C p ) r and N + 1 = p r N+1=p^r N + 1 = p r .
We obtain 2 2 s + 1 + 1 = p r 2^{2s+1}+1=p^r 2 2 s + 1 + 1 = p r . Reduction modulo three gives p = 3 p=3 p = 3 ; reduction modulo eight gives r = 2 u r=2u r = 2 u . Hence
( 3 u − 1 ) ( 3 u + 1 ) = 2 2 s + 1 . (3^u-1)(3^u+1)=2^{2s+1}. ( 3 u − 1 ) ( 3 u + 1 ) = 2 2 s + 1 . The two factors are positive powers of two differing by two, so they are 2 2 2 and 4 4 4 . Therefore u = s = 1 u=s=1 u = s = 1 and n = 2 n=2 n = 2 . The group G G G has order four and exponent two, so G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , and d = N = 8 d=N=8 d = N = 8 , κ = N − 1 = 7 \kappa=N-1=7 κ = N − 1 = 7 . ◻
The branch m = 2 m=2 m = 2
Write n = 2 a n=2a n = 2 a and q = n 2 / 2 = 2 a 2 q=n^2/2=2a^2 q = n 2 /2 = 2 a 2 . Then
d = 2 q , κ = 2 q − 2 , FPdim ( D ) = 4 q , Δ = 4 q ( q + 1 ) . \begin{equation}
d=2q,\qquad \kappa=2q-2,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal D)=4q,\qquad \Delta=4q(q+1). \tag*{(4.6)}
\end{equation} d = 2 q , κ = 2 q − 2 , FPdim ( D ) = 4 q , Δ = 4 q ( q + 1 ) . (4.6)
Lemma 4.7. Let A , B , Y i A,B,Y_i A , B , Y i denote the objects in Lemma 4.2 . In the m = 2 m=2 m = 2 branch, FPdim ( A ) = q , FPdim ( B ) = q + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 2 q + 2. \operatorname{FPdim}(A)=q,\qquad \operatorname{FPdim}(B)=q+1,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(Y_i)=2q+2. FPdim ( A ) = q , FPdim ( B ) = q + 1 , FPdim ( Y i ) = 2 q + 2. Exactly one of the 2 q − 1 2q-1 2 q − 1 summands Y i Y_i Y i of dimension 2 q + 2 2q+2 2 q + 2 has a forgetful image without ρ \rho ρ . Denote this distinguished central object by X 0 X_0 X 0 . Then F ( X 0 ) F(X_0) F ( X 0 ) contains t t t .
Proof. The summands of dimensions q q q and q + 1 q+1 q + 1 cannot contain ρ \rho ρ , and each 2 q + 2 2q+2 2 q + 2 summand contains at most one copy of ρ \rho ρ . Since the total ρ \rho ρ multiplicity is 2 q − 2 2q-2 2 q − 2 , exactly one, X 0 X_0 X 0 , contains no ρ \rho ρ . For the other summands, dimension gives F ( X ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ ρ F(X)\cong \mathbf 1\oplus g\oplus \rho F ( X ) ≅ 1 ⊕ g ⊕ ρ with g ≠ 1 g\ne \mathbf 1 g = 1 . Writing q = 2 a 2 q=2a^2 q = 2 a 2 and n = 2 a n=2a n = 2 a , the unit multiplicity bounds give
[ F ( A ) , t ] ≤ a − 1 , [ F ( B ) , t ] ≤ a . [F(A),t]\le a-1,\qquad [F(B),t]\le a. [ F ( A ) , t ] ≤ a − 1 , [ F ( B ) , t ] ≤ a . Since [ F ( I ( 1 ) ) , t ] = 2 a [F(I(\mathbf 1)),t]=2a [ F ( I ( 1 )) , t ] = 2 a , one has [ F ( X 0 ) , t ] ≥ 1 [F(X_0),t]\ge1 [ F ( X 0 ) , t ] ≥ 1 . ◻
Proposition 4.8. Let E 2 \mathcal E_2 E 2 be the full fusion subcategory of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) generated by the simple objects whose forgetful images lie in D \mathcal D D : E 2 = F − 1 ( D ) . \mathcal E_2=F^{-1}(\mathcal D). E 2 = F − 1 ( D ) . The prime denotes the Müger centralizer inside the braided category Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) ; explicitly, E 2 ′ = { Z ∈ Z ( C ) : c W , Z ∘ c Z , W = id Z ⊗ W for every W ∈ E 2 } , \mathcal E_2'
=\left\{Z\in\mathcal Z(\mathcal C):
c_{W,Z}\circ c_{Z,W}=\operatorname{id}_{Z\otimes W}
\text{ for every }W\in\mathcal E_2\right\}, E 2 ′ = { Z ∈ Z ( C ) : c W , Z ∘ c Z , W = id Z ⊗ W for every W ∈ E 2 } , where c c c is the braiding of Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) . Put J = E 2 ′ \mathcal J=\mathcal E_2' J = E 2 ′ . Then FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4 Δ , FPdim ( J ) = Δ / 4 = q ( q + 1 ) , \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal E_2)=4\Delta,\qquad
\operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal J)=\Delta/4=q(q+1), FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4Δ , FPdim ( J ) = Δ/4 = q ( q + 1 ) , and J \mathcal J J is Tannakian. Moreover, J ≃ Rep ( K ) , ∣ K ∣ = q ( q + 1 ) , F ( J ) ≃ Rep ( H ) , ∣ H ∣ = q , \mathcal J\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(K),\quad |K|=q(q+1),\qquad
F(\mathcal J)\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(H),\quad |H|=q, J ≃ Rep ( K ) , ∣ K ∣ = q ( q + 1 ) , F ( J ) ≃ Rep ( H ) , ∣ H ∣ = q , where H ≤ K H\le K H ≤ K is abelian, [ K : H ] = q + 1 [K:H]=q+1 [ K : H ] = q + 1 , and its character group H ^ \widehat H H identifies with a subgroup of G G G . Under these equivalences, F ∣ J F|_{\mathcal J} F ∣ J is the restriction functor Res H K \operatorname{Res}^K_H Res H K , and its right-adjoint unit algebra is Fun ( K / H ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A \operatorname{Fun}(K/H)\cong\mathbf 1\oplus A Fun ( K / H ) ≅ 1 ⊕ A .
Proof. The image of F ∣ E 2 F|_{\mathcal E_2} F ∣ E 2 contains t t t by Lemma 4.7 and hence is all of D \mathcal D D . The part of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) in E 2 \mathcal E_2 E 2 is 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ X 0 \mathbf 1\oplus A\oplus B\oplus X_0 1 ⊕ A ⊕ B ⊕ X 0 , of dimension 4 ( q + 1 ) 4(q+1) 4 ( q + 1 ) . Lemma 4.5 gives FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4 q ⋅ 4 ( q + 1 ) = 4 Δ \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal E_2)=4q\cdot4(q+1)=4\Delta FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4 q ⋅ 4 ( q + 1 ) = 4Δ . The Müger dimension formula in the nondegenerate category Z ( C ) \mathcal Z(\mathcal C) Z ( C ) [29 Corollary 8.21.7] gives FPdim ( J ) = Δ 2 / ( 4 Δ ) = Δ / 4 \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal J)=\Delta^2/(4\Delta)=\Delta/4 FPdim ( J ) = Δ 2 / ( 4Δ ) = Δ/4 .
If F ( J ) F(\mathcal J) F ( J ) contained ρ \rho ρ , it would be all of C \mathcal C C and the ratio in Lemma 4.5 would be 1 / 4 1/4 1/4 , impossible because the right adjoint unit image has integral positive dimension. If it contained t t t , it would be all of D \mathcal D D , and the ratio would be ( q + 1 ) / 4 (q+1)/4 ( q + 1 ) /4 , not an integer because q q q is even. Hence F ( J ) F(\mathcal J) F ( J ) is pointed. In particular J ⊆ E 2 \mathcal J\subseteq\mathcal E_2 J ⊆ E 2 , while the double-centralizer theorem gives J ′ = E 2 \mathcal J'=\mathcal E_2 J ′ = E 2 . Hence J ⊆ J ′ \mathcal J\subseteq\mathcal J' J ⊆ J ′ and J \mathcal J J is symmetric.
If J \mathcal J J were not Tannakian, its maximal Tannakian subcategory would have half the dimension by [29 Corollary 9.9.32] . Its centralizer would then have dimension 8 Δ 8\Delta 8Δ . This centralizer contains E 2 \mathcal E_2 E 2 ; since its dimension is larger than FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4 Δ \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal E_2)=4\Delta FPdim ( E 2 ) = 4Δ , it cannot be contained in E 2 \mathcal E_2 E 2 , so its forgetful image contains ρ \rho ρ and is all of C \mathcal C C . The ratio in Lemma 4.5 is therefore 8 8 8 . On the other hand it contains 1 , A , B , X 0 \mathbf 1,A,B,X_0 1 , A , B , X 0 , so its right adjoint unit image has dimension at least 4 ( q + 1 ) ≥ 12 4(q+1)\ge12 4 ( q + 1 ) ≥ 12 , a contradiction. Hence J ≃ Rep ( K ) \mathcal J\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(K) J ≃ Rep ( K ) .
It remains to identify the right-adjoint unit image exactly. Let η B \eta_B η B be the character of K 0 ( C ) K_0(\mathcal C) K 0 ( C ) corresponding to the summand B B B ; explicitly,
η B ( g ) = 1 ( g ∈ G ) , η B ( t ) = − n , η B ( ρ ) = 0 , FPdim ( B ) = q + 1. \eta_B(g)=1\quad(g\in G),\qquad
\eta_B(t)=-n,\qquad \eta_B(\rho)=0,
\qquad \operatorname{FPdim}(B)=q+1. η B ( g ) = 1 ( g ∈ G ) , η B ( t ) = − n , η B ( ρ ) = 0 , FPdim ( B ) = q + 1. Equation (2.6) gives, for every central simple Z Z Z ,
S B , Z = ( q + 1 ) η B ( F Z ) , \mathsf S_{B,Z}=(q+1)\eta_B(FZ), S B , Z = ( q + 1 ) η B ( F Z ) , with the normalization of (2.6) . Since F ( X 0 ) F(X_0) F ( X 0 ) contains t t t and no ρ \rho ρ , write F ( X 0 ) ≅ ⨁ g a g g ⊕ γ t F(X_0)\cong \bigoplus_g a_g g\oplus \gamma t F ( X 0 ) ≅ ⨁ g a g g ⊕ γ t with γ ≥ 1 \gamma\ge1 γ ≥ 1 . If B B B belonged to J \mathcal J J , then B B B would centralize X 0 X_0 X 0 , and hence
( q + 1 ) η B ( F X 0 ) = S B , X 0 = FPdim ( B ) FPdim ( X 0 ) . (q+1)\eta_B(FX_0)=\mathsf S_{B,X_0}
=\operatorname{FPdim}(B)\operatorname{FPdim}(X_0). ( q + 1 ) η B ( F X 0 ) = S B , X 0 = FPdim ( B ) FPdim ( X 0 ) . But
η B ( F X 0 ) = ∑ g a g − n γ < ∑ g a g + n γ = FPdim ( X 0 ) , \eta_B(FX_0)=\sum_g a_g-n\gamma
<\sum_g a_g+n\gamma=\operatorname{FPdim}(X_0), η B ( F X 0 ) = g ∑ a g − nγ < g ∑ a g + nγ = FPdim ( X 0 ) , a contradiction. Thus B ∉ J B\notin\mathcal J B ∈ / J . The object X 0 X_0 X 0 is not in J \mathcal J J because its image contains t t t , and every other Y i Y_i Y i is not in J \mathcal J J because its image contains ρ \rho ρ . Therefore the part of I ( 1 ) I(\mathbf 1) I ( 1 ) supported in J \mathcal J J is contained in 1 ⊕ A \mathbf 1\oplus A 1 ⊕ A . It cannot be only 1 \mathbf 1 1 : in that case the pointed image would have dimension q ( q + 1 ) > ∣ G ∣ = 2 q q(q+1)>|G|=2q q ( q + 1 ) > ∣ G ∣ = 2 q , contradicting that the pointed subcategory of C \mathcal C C has exactly ∣ G ∣ |G| ∣ G ∣ simples. Hence the right-adjoint unit image is exactly 1 ⊕ A \mathbf 1\oplus A 1 ⊕ A . The ratio in Lemma 4.5 gives FPdim ( F ( J ) ) = q \operatorname{FPdim}(F(\mathcal J))=q FPdim ( F ( J )) = q .
Set B = F ( J ) \mathcal B=F(\mathcal J) B = F ( J ) and L = F ∣ J : J → B L=F|_{\mathcal J}:\mathcal J\to
\mathcal B L = F ∣ J : J → B . Restricting the given half-braidings to objects of B \mathcal B B makes L L L a dominant central functor. By [25 Lemma 3.5] , its right-adjoint unit object A 0 = 1 ⊕ A A_0=\mathbf 1\oplus A A 0 = 1 ⊕ A is a connected étale algebra in J ≃ Rep ( K ) \mathcal J\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(K) J ≃ Rep ( K ) , and
B ≃ Rep ( K ) A 0 . \mathcal B\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(K)_{A_0}. B ≃ Rep ( K ) A 0 . A finite-dimensional commutative separable algebra in Rep ( K ) \operatorname{Rep}(K) Rep ( K ) is the function algebra of a finite K K K -set. Connectedness means that the set is transitive. Thus, for a stabilizer subgroup H ≤ K H\le K H ≤ K ,
A 0 ≅ Fun ( K / H ) , [ K : H ] = dim ( A 0 ) = q + 1. A_0\cong\operatorname{Fun}(K/H),\qquad [K:H]=\dim(A_0)=q+1. A 0 ≅ Fun ( K / H ) , [ K : H ] = dim ( A 0 ) = q + 1. Taking the fiber of an equivariant module at the coset H H H gives Rep ( K ) A 0 ≃ Rep ( H ) \operatorname{Rep}(K)_{A_0}\simeq\operatorname{Rep}(H) Rep ( K ) A 0 ≃ Rep ( H ) ; the free-module functor corresponds to Res H K \operatorname{Res}^K_H Res H K . It follows that L L L is this restriction functor under the stated equivalences. Since B \mathcal B B is pointed, H H H is abelian, and ∣ H ∣ = ∣ K ∣ / ( q + 1 ) = q |H|=|K|/(q+1)=q ∣ H ∣ = ∣ K ∣/ ( q + 1 ) = q . Its simple representations are its characters; their images in C p t \mathcal C_{\mathrm{pt}} C pt identify H ^ \widehat H H , rather than the stabilizer H H H itself, with a subgroup of G G G . ◻
Proposition 4.9. If m = 2 m=2 m = 2 , then n = 2 n=2 n = 2 , G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 , d = 4 d=4 d = 4 , and κ = 2 \kappa=2 κ = 2 .
Proof. By Proposition 4.8 , K K K acts transitively on Ω = K / H \Omega=K/H Ω = K / H , where ∣ Ω ∣ = q + 1 |\Omega|=q+1 ∣Ω∣ = q + 1 , ∣ H ∣ = q |H|=q ∣ H ∣ = q , and
C [ Ω ] ≅ 1 ⊕ A . \mathbb C[\Omega]\cong\mathbf 1\oplus A. C [ Ω ] ≅ 1 ⊕ A . Thus dim End K ( C [ Ω ] ) = 2 \dim\operatorname{End}_K(\mathbb C[\Omega])=2 dim End K ( C [ Ω ]) = 2 . This dimension counts the K K K -orbits on Ω × Ω \Omega\times\Omega Ω × Ω ; the diagonal is one orbit, so the action is doubly transitive. Moreover,
∣ K ∣ = q ( q + 1 ) = ∣ Ω ∣ ( ∣ Ω ∣ − 1 ) . |K|=q(q+1)=|\Omega|(|\Omega|-1). ∣ K ∣ = q ( q + 1 ) = ∣Ω∣ ( ∣Ω∣ − 1 ) . The stabilizer of an ordered pair of distinct points is therefore trivial. In particular the action is faithful and sharply doubly transitive.
The Frobenius kernel theorem for finite sharply doubly transitive groups [26 Section 7.6] gives
K = V ⋊ H , ∣ V ∣ = q + 1 , K=V\rtimes H,\qquad |V|=q+1, K = V ⋊ H , ∣ V ∣ = q + 1 , where V V V is a regular normal subgroup and H H H acts regularly by conjugation on V ∖ { 1 } V\setminus\{1\} V ∖ { 1 } . For completeness, this transitivity also shows that V V V is elementary abelian. All its nonidentity elements have a common prime order p p p ; Cauchy’s theorem makes V V V a p p p -group. Since Z ( V ) Z(V) Z ( V ) is nontrivial and characteristic, transitivity forces Z ( V ) = V Z(V)=V Z ( V ) = V . Thus V ≅ ( C p ) r V\cong(C_p)^r V ≅ ( C p ) r , q + 1 = p r q+1=p^r q + 1 = p r , and p ∤ ∣ H ∣ p\nmid|H| p ∤ ∣ H ∣ .
The group H H H is abelian by Proposition 4.8 . Its representation on V ⊗ F p F ‾ p V\otimes_{\mathbb F_p}\overline{\mathbb F}_p V ⊗ F p F p is therefore a sum of one-dimensional characters. Every occurring character is faithful. Indeed, if a nonidentity h ∈ H h\in H h ∈ H lay in its kernel, then h − I h-I h − I would have a nonzero kernel over F ‾ p \overline{\mathbb F}_p F p . Its determinant, computed over F p \mathbb F_p F p , would vanish, so it would already have a nonzero kernel over F p \mathbb F_p F p . This contradicts the fixed-point-free action of h h h on V ∖ { 0 } V\setminus\{0\} V ∖ { 0 } . A faithful character embeds H H H in the multiplicative group of some finite extension of F p \mathbb F_p F p , which is cyclic. Hence H H H and its character group H ^ \widehat H H are cyclic of order q q q . Since H ^ ≤ G \widehat H\le G H ≤ G , the group G G G has an element of order q = n 2 / 2 q=n^2/2 q = n 2 /2 .
Lemma 2.3 gives ord ( g ) ≤ n \operatorname{ord}(g)\le n ord ( g ) ≤ n for every g ∈ G g\in G g ∈ G . Hence n 2 / 2 ≤ n n^2/2\le n n 2 /2 ≤ n , and n ≥ 2 n\ge2 n ≥ 2 implies n = 2 n=2 n = 2 . Now G G G has order four and every element has order at most two, so G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 . Equation (4.6) gives d = 4 d=4 d = 4 and κ = 2 \kappa=2 κ = 2 . ◻
Theorem 4.10. If d + ∈ Z d_+\in\mathbb Z d + ∈ Z , then necessarily ( n , d + , κ ) = ( 2 , 4 , 2 ) or ( 2 , 8 , 7 ) , (n,d_+,\kappa)=(2,4,2)\quad\text{or}\quad(2,8,7), ( n , d + , κ ) = ( 2 , 4 , 2 ) or ( 2 , 8 , 7 ) , and in either case G ≅ C 2 × C 2 G\cong C_2\times C_2 G ≅ C 2 × C 2 and rank ( C ) = 6 \operatorname{rank}(\mathcal C)=6 rank ( C ) = 6 .
Proof. Proposition 4.3 leaves m = 1 m=1 m = 1 or m = 2 m=2 m = 2 . Propositions 4.6 and 4.9 give the two alternatives. ◻
Thus the integral case leaves R 2 R_2 R 2 and R 7 R_7 R 7 , as defined in (1.1) . Example 2.1 categorifies R 7 R_7 R 7 ; we now construct a categorification of R 2 R_2 R 2 .

Its simple objects are indexed by pairs ( x , π ) (x,\pi) ( x , π ) , where x x x represents a double coset H x H HxH H x H and π \pi π is an irreducible projective representation of H x = H ∩ x H x − 1 H_x=H\cap xHx^{-1} H x = H ∩ x H x − 1 . Their dimensions are
FPdim ( x , π ) = [ H : H x ] dim π . \begin{equation}
\operatorname{FPdim}(x,\pi)=[H:H_x]\dim\pi. \tag*{(4.7)}
\end{equation} FPdim ( x , π ) = [ H : H x ] dim π . (4.7)
The double-coset support of tensor products is multiplicative, and the component supported on H H H is Rep ( H ) \operatorname{Rep}(H) Rep ( H ) ; see [35 Theorems 4.1 and 5.1] .
Set
L = PGL 2 ( F 3 ) ≅ S 4 . L=\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb F_3)\cong S_4. L = PGL 2 ( F 3 ) ≅ S 4 .
For x ∈ L x\in L x ∈ L , choose the representative s ( x ) ∈ GL 2 ( F 3 ) s(x)\in\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb F_3) s ( x ) ∈ GL 2 ( F 3 ) whose first nonzero entry, in row-major order, equals 1 1 1 . Define

s(x)s(y)=(-I)^{\beta(x,y)}s(xy),\qquad
\alpha(x)=
\begin{cases}
0,&\det s(x)=1,\\
1,&\det s(x)=2.

\end{equation} s ( x ) s ( y ) = ( − I ) β ( x , y ) s ( x y ) , α ( x ) = { 0 , 1 , det s ( x ) = 1 , det s ( x ) = 2. (4.8)
Here β \beta β takes values in F 2 \mathbb F_2 F 2 and is the normalized 2 2 2 -cocycle of the central extension by { I , − I } \{I,-I\} { I , − I } ; α : L → F 2 \alpha:L\to\mathbb F_2 α : L → F 2 is a homomorphism. The cup product gives a normalized unitary 3 3 3 -cocycle
ω ( x , y , z ) = ( − 1 ) α ( x ) β ( y , z ) . \begin{equation}
\omega(x,y,z)=(-1)^{\alpha(x)\beta(y,z)}. \tag*{(4.9)}
\end{equation} ω ( x , y , z ) = ( − 1 ) α ( x ) β ( y , z ) . (4.9)
Take H = { 1 , a , b , c } H=\{1,a,b,c\} H = { 1 , a , b , c } , with representatives

s(1)=I,\qquad
s(a)=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix},\qquad
s(b)=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\2&0\end{pmatrix},\qquad
s(c)=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\0&2\end{pmatrix}. \tag*{(4.10)}
\end{equation} s ( 1 ) = I , s ( a ) = ( 0 1 1 0 ) , s ( b ) = ( 0 2 1 0 ) , s ( c ) = ( 1 0 0 2 ) . (4.10)
In the action on P 1 ( F 3 ) \mathbb P^1(\mathbb F_3) P 1 ( F 3 ) , this is the subgroup generated by two disjoint transpositions. In particular, H ≅ C 2 2 H\cong C_2^2 H ≅ C 2 2 is not normal. Define ψ ( x , y ) = i q ( x , y ) \psi(x,y)=\mathrm i^{q(x,y)} ψ ( x , y ) = i q ( x , y ) , where q ( 1 , x ) = q ( x , 1 ) = 0 q(1,x)=q(x,1)=0 q ( 1 , x ) = q ( x , 1 ) = 0 and

Lemma 4.11. The cochains (4.9) and (4.11) satisfy δ ψ = ω ∣ H \delta\psi=\omega|_H δ ψ = ω ∣ H .
Proof. Write x = c v a u x=c^v a^u x = c v a u , y = c s a r y=c^s a^r y = c s a r , and z = c w a p z=c^w a^p z = c w a p , with all six exponents in { 0 , 1 } \{0,1\} { 0 , 1 } . The representatives in (4.10) have s ( c ) s ( a ) = s ( b ) s(c)s(a)=s(b) s ( c ) s ( a ) = s ( b ) and s ( a ) s ( c ) = − s ( c ) s ( a ) s(a)s(c)=-s(c)s(a) s ( a ) s ( c ) = − s ( c ) s ( a ) , so
α ( x ) = u + v ( m o d 2 ) , β ( y , z ) = r w ( m o d 2 ) . \alpha(x)=u+v\pmod2,\qquad \beta(y,z)=rw\pmod2. α ( x ) = u + v ( mod 2 ) , β ( y , z ) = r w ( mod 2 ) . The table (4.11) is equivalently
q ( x , y ) = v ( r + s ) + 2 ( v r s + u r s + u v r ) ( m o d 4 ) . q(x,y)=v(r+s)+2(vrs+urs+uvr)\pmod4. q ( x , y ) = v ( r + s ) + 2 ( v r s + u r s + uv r ) ( mod 4 ) . Expanding products in H H H by the identity r ⊕ s = r + s − 2 r s r\mathbin{\oplus}s=r+s-2rs r ⊕ s = r + s − 2 r s for binary coordinates gives
q ( y , z ) + q ( x , y z ) − q ( x y , z ) − q ( x , y ) ≡ 2 ( u + v ) r w ( m o d 4 ) . q(y,z)+q(x,yz)-q(xy,z)-q(x,y)
\equiv2(u+v)rw\pmod4. q ( y , z ) + q ( x , y z ) − q ( x y , z ) − q ( x , y ) ≡ 2 ( u + v ) r w ( mod 4 ) . This is precisely the exponent identity for δ ψ ( x , y , z ) = ω ( x , y , z ) \delta\psi(x,y,z)=\omega(x,y,z) δ ψ ( x , y , z ) = ω ( x , y , z ) . ◻
The three double cosets
Choose
x = [ ( 1 1 1 2 ) ] , u = [ ( 0 1 1 1 ) ] . \begin{equation}
x=\left[\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\1&2\end{pmatrix}\right],\qquad
u=\left[\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&1\end{pmatrix}\right]. \tag*{(4.12)}
\end{equation} x = [ ( 1 1 1 2 ) ] , u = [ ( 0 1 1 1 ) ] . (4.12)
Label the four projective points by ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) (1,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2) ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) . Then a = ( 12 ) a=(12) a = ( 12 ) , c = ( 34 ) c=(34) c = ( 34 ) , x = ( 13 ) ( 24 ) x=(13)(24) x = ( 13 ) ( 24 ) , and u = ( 1234 ) u=(1234) u = ( 1234 ) . The normalizer of H = ⟨ ( 12 ) , ( 34 ) ⟩ H=\langle(12),(34)\rangle H = ⟨( 12 ) , ( 34 )⟩ has order 8 8 8 , and x x x lies in its nontrivial coset modulo H H H . Moreover, u H u − 1 = ⟨ ( 23 ) , ( 14 ) ⟩ uHu^{-1}=\langle(23),(14)\rangle u H u − 1 = ⟨( 23 ) , ( 14 )⟩ has trivial intersection with H H H . Thus the double cosets represented by 1 , x , u 1,x,u 1 , x , u have sizes 4 , 4 , 16 4,4,16 4 , 4 , 16 and exhaust L L L :
L = H ⊔ x H ⊔ H u H , N L ( H ) = H ⊔ x H . \begin{equation}
L=H\sqcup xH\sqcup HuH,\qquad N_L(H)=H\sqcup xH. \tag*{(4.13)}
\end{equation} L = H ⊔ x H ⊔ H u H , N L ( H ) = H ⊔ x H . (4.13)
For any y ∈ L y\in L y ∈ L , the orbit–stabilizer formula for the left action of H × H H\times H H × H on H y H HyH H y H is
∣ H y H ∣ = ∣ H ∣ 2 ∣ H ∩ y H y − 1 ∣ . |HyH|=\frac{|H|^2}{|H\cap yHy^{-1}|}. ∣ H y H ∣ = ∣ H ∩ y H y − 1 ∣ ∣ H ∣ 2 .
For y = 1 y=1 y = 1 and y = x y=x y = x , the intersection is H H H because both elements lie in N L ( H ) N_L(H) N L ( H ) , giving size 4 4 4 in each case. For y = u y=u y = u , the displayed conjugate subgroup has trivial intersection with H H H , giving size 16 16 16 . The sizes add to 24 = ∣ L ∣ 24=|L| 24 = ∣ L ∣ , so no further double coset is possible.
For clarity, in the conventions of [35 Section 5.1] , the projective factor on H x H_x H x is
ψ x ( h , k ) = ψ ( h , k ) ψ ( x − 1 k − 1 x , x − 1 h − 1 x ) ω ( h , k , x ) ω ( h , k x , x − 1 k − 1 x ) ω ( h k x , x − 1 k − 1 x , x − 1 h − 1 x ) . \begin{equation}
\psi^x(h,k)=\psi(h,k)\psi(x^{-1}k^{-1}x,x^{-1}h^{-1}x)
\frac{\omega(h,k,x)\omega(h,kx,x^{-1}k^{-1}x)}
{\omega(hkx,x^{-1}k^{-1}x,x^{-1}h^{-1}x)}. \tag*{(4.14)}
\end{equation} ψ x ( h , k ) = ψ ( h , k ) ψ ( x − 1 k − 1 x , x − 1 h − 1 x ) ω ( hk x , x − 1 k − 1 x , x − 1 h − 1 x ) ω ( h , k , x ) ω ( h , k x , x − 1 k − 1 x ) . (4.14)
Substitution of (4.8) –(4.11) gives the exponent matrix for ψ x \psi^x ψ x , in the order 1 , a , b , c 1,a,b,c 1 , a , b , c ,
( 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 3 0 1 0 2 3 1 ) ( m o d 4 ) . \begin{equation}
\begin{pmatrix}
0&0&0&0\\
0&1&1&0\\
0&3&0&1\\
0&2&3&1
\end{pmatrix}\pmod4. \tag*{(4.15)}
\end{equation} 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 2 0 1 0 3 0 0 1 1 ( mod 4 ) . (4.15)
For example, substituting ( h , k ) = ( a , a ) , ( a , b ) , ( b , a ) , ( b , c ) (h,k)=(a,a),(a,b),(b,a),(b,c) ( h , k ) = ( a , a ) , ( a , b ) , ( b , a ) , ( b , c ) into (4.14) gives the exponents 1 , 1 , 3 , 1 1,1,3,1 1 , 1 , 3 , 1 , respectively; the other entries are obtained by the same four-element calculation and are listed in the displayed matrix. Hence ψ x ( h , k ) / ψ x ( k , h ) = − 1 \psi^x(h,k)/\psi^x(k,h)=-1 ψ x ( h , k ) / ψ x ( k , h ) = − 1 for any two distinct nonidentity elements of H H H . Its radical is therefore trivial. Equivalently, the ordinary algebraic center is one-dimensional:
Z a l g ( C ψ x [ H ] ) = C , C ψ x [ H ] ≅ M 2 ( C ) . Z_{\mathrm{alg}}\bigl(\mathbb C_{\psi^x}[H]\bigr)=\mathbb C,\qquad
\mathbb C_{\psi^x}[H]\cong M_2(\mathbb C). Z alg ( C ψ x [ H ] ) = C , C ψ x [ H ] ≅ M 2 ( C ) .
Theorem 4.12. The category C ( L , ω , H , ψ ) \mathcal C(L,\omega,H,\psi) C ( L , ω , H , ψ ) defined above is a unitary categorification of R 2 R_2 R 2 .
Proof. The component over H H H consists of four invertibles indexed by H ^ ≅ C 2 2 \widehat H\cong C_2^2 H ≅ C 2 2 . The nondegenerate factor (4.15) gives one simple object t t t of dimension 2 2 2 over x H xH x H . The trivial stabilizer of H u H HuH H u H gives one simple object ρ \rho ρ of dimension 4 4 4 . These are all the simple objects, by (4.7) .
Both x H xH x H and H u H HuH H u H are invariant under inversion: the first is the nonidentity coset in the group N L ( H ) / H N_L(H)/H N L ( H ) / H of order two, and the second is the complement of N L ( H ) N_L(H) N L ( H ) in L L L . Thus t t t and ρ \rho ρ are self-dual. Tensoring by an invertible preserves each of these supports, so it fixes t t t and ρ \rho ρ on both sides. The product of the support x H xH x H with itself is H H H . For every g ∈ H ^ g\in\widehat H g ∈ H , Frobenius reciprocity and g ⊗ t ≅ t g\otimes t\cong t g ⊗ t ≅ t give
[ t ⊗ t , g ] = [ t , g ⊗ t ] = 1 , [t\otimes t,g]=[t,g\otimes t]=1, [ t ⊗ t , g ] = [ t , g ⊗ t ] = 1 , while no other simple is supported on H H H ; hence t ⊗ t ≅ ⨁ g ∈ H ^ g t\otimes t\cong \bigoplus_{g\in\widehat H}g t ⊗ t ≅ ⨁ g ∈ H g . Multiplication by N L ( H ) N_L(H) N L ( H ) preserves its complement H u H HuH H u H on both sides. Therefore t ⊗ ρ t\otimes\rho t ⊗ ρ and ρ ⊗ t \rho\otimes t ρ ⊗ t are supported on H u H HuH H u H , where ρ \rho ρ is the only simple object. Comparing dimensions gives t ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ t ≅ 2 ρ t\otimes\rho\cong \rho\otimes t\cong 2 \rho t ⊗ ρ ≅ ρ ⊗ t ≅ 2 ρ . Finally, reciprocity gives, for every g ∈ H ^ g\in\widehat H g ∈ H , [ ρ ⊗ ρ , g ] = [ ρ , g ⊗ ρ ] = 1 [\rho\otimes \rho,g]=[\rho,g\otimes\rho]=1 [ ρ ⊗ ρ , g ] = [ ρ , g ⊗ ρ ] = 1 , and [ ρ ⊗ ρ , t ] = [ ρ , t ⊗ ρ ] = 2 [\rho\otimes \rho,t]=[\rho,t\otimes\rho]=2 [ ρ ⊗ ρ , t ] = [ ρ , t ⊗ ρ ] = 2 . Thus
ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ ⨁ g ∈ H ^ g ⊕ 2 t ⊕ m ρ \rho\otimes \rho\cong \bigoplus_{g\in\widehat H}g\oplus 2 t\oplus m \rho ρ ⊗ ρ ≅ g ∈ H ⨁ g ⊕ 2 t ⊕ m ρ for some m ≥ 0 m\ge0 m ≥ 0 . The dimension equation 16 = 4 + 4 + 4 m 16=4+4+4m 16 = 4 + 4 + 4 m yields m = 2 m=2 m = 2 .
The associator in Vec L ω \operatorname{Vec}_L^\omega Vec L ω is unitary. The twisted regular algebra of H H H , with its orthonormal homogeneous basis and the unit-modulus multiplication coefficients ψ \psi ψ , is the standard separable unitary algebra. Its bimodule category, with relative tensor product, is a unitary fusion category. This proves existence with the asserted structure. ◻
We can now prove the classification stated in the introduction.
Proof of Theorem 1.2 . If d + ∉ Z d_+\notin\mathbb Z d + ∈ / Z , Proposition 3.1 and Theorem 3.12 leave n = 2 n=2 n = 2 and κ ∈ { 0 , 8 } \kappa\in\{0,8\} κ ∈ { 0 , 8 } . Theorem 3.24 excludes κ = 8 \kappa=8 κ = 8 , while Theorem 3.13 treats κ = 0 \kappa=0 κ = 0 and supplies realizations. If d + ∈ Z d_+\in\mathbb Z d + ∈ Z , Theorem 4.10 gives exactly the two possibilities ( n , d + , κ ) = ( 2 , 4 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 8 , 7 ) (n,d_+,\kappa)=(2,4,2),(2,8,7) ( n , d + , κ ) = ( 2 , 4 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 8 , 7 ) . Lemma 2.3 identifies G G G with the Klein four-group, and (2.9) gives K 0 ( C ) ≅ R κ K_0(\mathcal C)\cong R_\kappa K 0 ( C ) ≅ R κ . Theorem 4.12 and Example 2.1 establish existence for R 2 R_2 R 2 and R 7 R_7 R 7 , respectively. The dimension table follows from FPdim ( C ) = 8 + d + 2 \operatorname{FPdim}(\mathcal C)=8+d_+^2 FPdim ( C ) = 8 + d + 2 . ◻
