Abstract:Given a braided fusion category C, it is well known that the natural map F: C ⊠ Cbop → Z(C) from the square of C to the (Drinfeld) categorical center Z(C) is an equivalence if and only if C is modular. This provides a non-constructive structure theorem for Z(C) for the modular case. However, it is not clear how to construct the inverse. In this work, we provide an explicit construction using insights from a specific quantum field theory. In particular, we construct an adjoint functor for F that is its inverse … Show more
