Finitely semisimple spherical categories and modular categories are self-dual

Abstract: We show that every essentially small finitely semisimple k-linear additive spherical category for which k = End(1) is a field, is equivalent to its dual over the long canonical forgetful functor. This includes the special case of modular categories. In order to prove this result, we show that the universal coend of the spherical category, with respect to the long forgetful functor, is self-dual as a Weak Hopf Algebra.

“…For example, the category of G-graded rational vector spaces is a complete rational form of the category of G-graded complex vector spaces, while the center of the former category is only an incomplete rational form of the center of the latter. Second, any fusion category is the category of representations of a weak Hopf algebra A [19,8,9,23] and if that weak Hopf algebra has an rational form A k then A k − mod is, in general, an incomplete rational form for A − mod. Third, the notion of incomplete rational form arises naturally in the context of planar algebras.…”

“…If C is symmetric monoidal, H is cotriangular. Further structure and properties of C such as a pivotal structure, a ribbon structure, or the properties that a pivotal category C be spherical or that a ribbon category C be modular, can be translated into additional structure and properties of H = coend(C, ω) as well [6,16].…”

“…We use the same basis of ωM = Hom( V , V ⊗M ) as in [6,16] for j, j 0 , j 1 , ℓ, ℓ 0 , ℓ 1 ∈ I and j 1 = j 0 ± 1, ℓ 1 = ℓ 0 ± 1. We refer to the explanations preceding Theorem 3.8 for the bases used on the right hand side.…”
