Hypergraph Characterization of Fusion Rings

Paul Bruillard, Kathleen Nowak, Stephen J. Young

We present a correspondence between multiplicity-free, self-dual, fusion rings and a digraph, hypergraph pair . This correspondence is used to provide a complete characteriz…

Classification of super-modular categories

Paul Bruillard, Julia Yael Plavnik, Eric C. Rowell +1

We develop categorical and number theoretical tools for the classification of super-modular categories. We apply these tools to obtain a partial classification of super-modular cat…

Ramanujan Graphs and the Spectral Gap of Supercomputing Topologies

Sinan G. Aksoy, Paul Bruillard, Stephen J. Young +1

Graph eigenvalues play a fundamental role in controlling structural properties, such as bisection bandwidth, diameter, and fault tolerance, which are critical considerations in the…

Dimension as a quantum statistic and the classification of metaplectic categories

Paul Bruillard, Paul Gustafson, Julia Yael Plavnik +1

We discuss several useful interpretations of the categorical dimension of objects in a braided fusion category, as well as some conjectures demonstrating the value of quantum dimen…

Classification of super-modular categories by rank

Paul Bruillard, César Galindo, Siu-Hung Ng +3

We pursue a classification of low-rank super-modular categories parallel to that of modular categories. We classify all super-modular categories up to rank=, and spin modular ca…

Classification of Rank 5 Premodular Categories

Paul Bruillard, Carlos M. Ortiz

We survey a number of classification tools developed in recent years and employ them to classify pseudo-unitary rank 5 premodular categories up to equivalence.

Modular Categories of Dimension with Square-Free

Paul Bruillard, Julia Yael Plavnik, Eric C. Rowell

We give a complete classification of modular categories of dimension where is prime and is a square-free integer. When is odd, all such categories are pointed. F…

Fermionic Modular Categories and the 16-fold Way

Paul Bruillard, Cesar Galindo, Tobias Hagge +4

We study spin and super-modular categories systematically as inspired by fermionic topological phases of matter, which are always fermion parity enriched and modelled by spin TQFTs…

Low-dimensional representations of the three component loop braid group

Paul Bruillard, Liang Chang, Seung-Moon Hong +3

Motivated by physical and topological applications, we study representations of the group of motions of unlinked oriented circles in . Our point…

On classification of modular categories by rank

Paul Bruillard, Siu-Hung Ng, Eric C. Rowell +1

The feasibility of a classification-by-rank program for modular categories follows from the Rank-Finiteness Theorem. We develop arithmetic, representation theoretic and algebraic m…

On the Classification of Weakly Integral Modular Categories

Paul Bruillard, César Galindo, Siu-Hung Ng +3

We classify all modular categories of dimension , where is an odd square-free integer, and all ranks and weakly integral modular categories. This completes the clas…

Rank-finiteness for modular categories

Paul Bruillard, Siu-Hung Ng, Eric C. Rowell +1

We prove a rank-finiteness conjecture for modular categories: up to equivalence, there are only finitely many modular categories of any fixed rank. Our technical advance is a gener…

Classification of integral modular categories of Frobenius-Perron dimension pq^4 and p^2q^2

Paul Bruillard, César Galindo, Seung-Moon Hong +5

We classify integral modular categories of dimension pq^4 and p^2q^2 where p and q are distinct primes. We show that such categories are always group-theoretical except for categor…

Rank 4 Premodular Categories

Paul Bruillard

We consider the classification problem for rank 4 premodular categories. We uncover a formula for the 2nd Frobenius-Schur indicator of a premodular category, and complete the class…

Modular categories, integrality and Egyptian fractions

Paul Bruillard, Eric C. Rowell

It is a well-known result of Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik that there are finitely many inequivalent integral modular categories of any fixed rank . This follows from a double-ex…

Chiral Supergravity

Melanie Becker, Paul Bruillard, Sean Downes

We study the linearized approximation of N=1 topologically massive supergravity around AdS3. Linearized gravitino fields are explicitly constructed. For appropriate boundary condit…
