The dimension criterion for generalized and quasi-localizability

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let \mcC\mcC be a braided fusion category and let X∈\mcCX\in\mcC be a simple object. Write dim⁡(X)\dim(X) for the categorical dimension of XX; an object is generalized or quasi-localizable when it admits the corresponding localization described in the paper.

Dimension criterion for localizability. Any simple X∈\mcCX\in\mcC is generalized or quasi-localizable if, and only if,

dim⁡(X)2∈Z.\dim(X)^2\in\mathbb Z.

Under additional assumptions, the forward implication is known from results relating braid-group images to endomorphism algebras, but the stated equivalence is presented as a more general belief and remains open.
