The -Symbols for Transparent Haagerup-Izumi Categories with
arXiv:2007.00670
Abstract
A fusion category is called transparent if the associator involving any invertible object is the identity map. For the Haagerup-Izumi fusion rings with (the case is the Haagerup fusion ring with six simple objects), the transparent ansatz reduces the number of independent -symbols from order to , rendering the pentagon identity practically solvable. Transparent Haagerup-Izumi fusion categories are thereby constructively classified up to , recovering all known Haagerup-Izumi fusion categories to this order, and producing new ones. Transparent Haagerup-Izumi fusion categories additionally satisfying tetrahedral invariance are further classified up to , and the explicit -symbols for the unitary ones, including the Haagerup fusion category, are compactly presented. The -symbols for the Haagerup fusion category are also presented. Going beyond, the transparent ansatz offers a viable course towards constructing novel fusion categories for new fusion rings.
