On the Drinfeld center of the Verlinde category $\Ver_p$

Shlomo Gelaki, Victor Ostrik

We provide some information about the Drinfeld center $\Z(\Ver_p)$ of the Verlinde category $\Ver_p$. We compute explicitly the Cartan matrix, bound quiver and cohomology of $\Z(\V…

Twisted Deligne products of semisimple tensor categories

Pavel Etingof, Dmitri Nikshych, Victor Ostrik

We discuss the classification of twisted Deligne products of two semisimple tensor categories , i.e., categorifications of the tensor product of their Grothe…

Tensor ideals of abelian type and quantum groups

Kevin Coulembier, Pavel Etingof, Victor Ostrik

We initiate a study of tensor ideals in linear rigid monoidal categories that are kernels of linear monoidal functors to abelian monoidal categories. We develop general methods and…

A non-semisimple Witt class

Victor Ostrik, Alexandra Utiralova

We describe several infinite families of braided finite tensor categories. A simplest example gives a non-degenerate braided tensor category which is not Witt equivalent to a semis…

On the structure of Witt groups and minimal extension conjecture

Theo Johnson-Freyd, Victor Ostrik, Zhiqiang Yu

Let be a Tannakian fusion category. For a braided fusion category over we give sufficient and necessary conditions that char…

Fractal behavior of tensor powers of the two dimensional space in prime characteristic

Kevin Coulembier, Pavel Etingof, Victor Ostrik +1

We study the number of indecomposable summands in tensor powers of the vector representation of SL2. Our main focus is on positive characteristic where this sequence of numbers and…
