Monadic reconstruction of unitary Drinfeld centers and Factorization Homology

Abstract

We prove that the unitary Drinfeld center of a unitary tensor category is equivalente to the category of unitary bimodules for the canonical W*-algebra object, generalizing Müger's result to the non-fusion case. This is then used to express factorization homology in terms of C*-algebraic extensions of symmetric enveloping algebras and actions of Drinfeld dobules of compact quantum groups.
