Ostrik's fiber-functor conjecture for semisimple symmetric tensor categories
Ostrik's fiber-functor conjecture for semisimple symmetric tensor categories
Let be a semisimple symmetric tensor category over a field of characteristic and of moderate growth. Here denotes the Verlinde symmetric tensor category, and a fiber functor is a symmetric tensor functor.
Ostrik's conjecture. The category admits a fiber functor
This extends Ostrik's theorem for symmetric fusion categories by removing the finiteness assumption. The source notes that it is unknown whether moderate growth is necessary. The conjecture is disproved without the semisimplicity hypothesis.
