Conjecture on the Ising symmetry defect data

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Ising\textbf{Ising} be the Ising fusion category, and consider its Deligne product Ising⊠Ising\textbf{Ising}\boxtimes\textbf{Ising} together with a \mathdsZ2\mathds{Z}_2-crossed extension containing a symmetry defect X1X_1. For a∈Isinga\in\textbf{Ising}, let Ra⊠aX1X1R^{X_1X_1}_{a\boxtimes a} denote the corresponding crossed braiding symbol, let θa\theta_a be the twist of aa, and let [FX1X1X1X1][F^{X_1X_1X_1}_{X_1}] denote the indicated FF-symbol matrix. Ising defect-data conjecture. There exists a set of solutions to the \mathdsZ2\mathds{Z}_2-crossed consistency equations associated to Ising⊠Ising\textbf{Ising}\boxtimes\textbf{Ising} such that

Ra⊠aX1X1=θa for a∈IsingR^{X_1X_1}_{a\boxtimes a}=\theta_a \hspace{5pt} \text{ for } a\in\textbf{Ising}

and

[FX1X1X1X1]=SIsing=12(12120−21−21).[F^{X_1X_1X_1}_{X_1}]=S_{\textbf{Ising}}=\frac{1}{2}\begin{pmatrix}1&\sqrt{2}&1\\ \sqrt{2}&0&-\sqrt{2}\\ 1&-\sqrt{2}&1\end{pmatrix}.

This conjecture specifies algebraic data for the symmetry defect used in a proposed physical protocol for realizing a TT-gate in topological quantum computing. A full solution of the GG-crossed consistency equations is not known, and the stated existence remains open under the assumptions described in the source.
