Pivotal fusion categories admit combed field theory structures

At least 23 years old · documented by

Let C\mathcal C be a pivotal fusion category over a field of characteristic zero. An SO(2)SO(2) homotopy fixed point structure on C\mathcal C is the additional structure corresponding, under the cobordism hypothesis, to an SO(2)SO(2)-structured local field theory; such a theory is called combed. Pivotal fusion category conjecture. Every pivotal fusion category in characteristic zero admits the structure of an SO(2)SO(2) homotopy fixed point, and therefore provides the structure of a combed 3-dimensional local field theory. This conjecture asserts that the pivotal structure upgrades the evident weaker homotopy fixed point structure to a full SO(2)SO(2) structure; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
