Conjecture on the Ising symmetry defect data
Let be the Ising fusion category, and consider its Deligne product together with a -crossed extension containing a symmetry defect . For , let denote the corresponding crossed braiding symbol, let be the twist of , and let denote the indicated -symbol matrix. Ising defect-data conjecture. There exists a set of solutions to the -crossed consistency equations associated to such that
and
This conjecture specifies algebraic data for the symmetry defect used in a proposed physical protocol for realizing a -gate in topological quantum computing. A full solution of the -crossed consistency equations is not known, and the stated existence remains open under the assumptions described in the source.
