The localizability conjecture for simple objects in braided fusion categories

From papers

Let C\mathcal{C} be a braided fusion category and let XX be a simple object of C\mathcal{C}. Denote by ρX\rho_X the braid-group representations on End(Xn)\operatorname{End}(X^{\otimes n}). Localizability conjecture. The representations (ρX,End(Xn))(\rho_X,\operatorname{End}(X^{\otimes n})) are localizable if and only if

FPdim(X)2N.\operatorname{FPdim}(X)^2\in\mathbb{N}.

This conjecture combines the property F\mathbf{F} conjecture with the finite-image conjecture for unitary finite-order Yang–Baxter solutions, relating local quantum realizations of braid representations to weak integrality of Frobenius–Perron dimensions. The source describes recent progress and further evidence, but does not state a resolution.
