The property F conjecture for braided fusion categories

About 9 years old · traced to

Let \mcC\mcC be a braided fusion category. It has property F if the braid-group image ρX(\mcBn)\rho_X(\mcB_n) is finite for every object X∈\mcCX\in\mcC and every nn; equivalently, the associated braid-group representations on the centralizer algebras End⁡\mcC(X⊗n)\operatorname{End}_{\mcC}(X^{\otimes n}) have finite image.

Property F conjecture. The category \mcC\mcC has property F if, and only if,

FPdim⁡(\mcC)∈Z,\operatorname{FPdim}(\mcC)\in\mathbb Z,

that is, \mcC\mcC is weakly integral.

This conjecture proposes a precise connection between finiteness of braid-group representations, relevant to topological quantum computation, and weak integrality of the Frobenius–Perron dimension. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
