Evans–Gannon's modular-data conjecture for odd-order near-group categories

About 11 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite abelian group of odd order, let qq be a quadratic form on GG, and let NG(G,q,b,c)\mathcal{NG}(G,q,b,c) be the corresponding near-group fusion category. Let EjE_j be the simple objects in Theorem. Evans–Gannon's conjecture. There exists a metric group (G′,q′)(G',q') of order ∣G∣+4|G|+4 such that the simple objects EjE_j are indexed by g∈Gg\in G and x∈G′\{e}x\in G'\backslash\{e\}, with Eg,x=Eg,x−1E_{g,x}=E_{g,x^{-1}} and

θEg,x=⟨g,g⟩e2πi∂q′(x).\theta_{E_{g,x}}=\langle g,g\rangle e^{2\pi i\partial q'(x)}.

Moreover, the modular data are given by the Kronecker product of the Weil representation for (G,q)(G,q) with modular data (S′,T′)(S',T') for a rank ∣G∣+3|G|+3 modular category:

Sq,q′=Sq⊗S′,Tq,q′=Tq⊗T′.S^{q,q'}=S^q\otimes S',\qquad T^{q,q'}=T^q\otimes T'.

Here

T′=Diag⁡(1,1,⟨g,g⟩q,⟨x,x⟩q′)g∈G, x∈G′.T'=\operatorname{Diag}(1,1,\langle g,g\rangle_q,\langle x,x\rangle_{q'})_{g\in G,\,x\in G'}.

This conjecture predicts a uniform description of the modular data of the centers of odd-order near-group fusion categories by means of metric groups and Weil representations; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
