The property F conjecture for braided fusion categories
Let be a braided fusion category. It has property F if the braid-group image is finite for every object and every ; equivalently, the associated braid-group representations on the centralizer algebras have finite image.
Property F conjecture. The category has property F if, and only if,
that is, 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.
