Induced zesting conjecture for Drinfeld centers

Let C\mathcal{C} be a fusion category, and let an associative zesting of C\mathcal{C} induce a zesting on its center Z(C)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}). Induced zesting conjecture. The induced zesting on the center Z(C)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}) from an associative zesting of C\mathcal{C} is equivalent to an associative zesting on Z(C)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}). In other words, the braided and ribbon zesting on the center are equivalent to the trivial one. This conjecture refines the preceding expectation that associative zesting of a fusion category induces a ribbon zesting of its center, extending the phenomenon established for the Mignard–Schauenburg modular isotopes. The general equivalence remains open.
