Uniqueness conjecture for non-abelian simple A-H Frobenius monoids

About 4 years old · traced to

Let C{\mathcal C} be a compact closed category, and let N≅X⊗X∗N\cong X\otimes X^* be a self-dual object. The standard A-H Frobenius algebra at NN is the A-H Frobenius algebra supplied by the paper's preceding theorem. When NN is strictly reflexive, its endomorphism monoid is a semi-monoidal monoid and contains a standard A-H F. monoid; when C{\mathcal C} has trivial scalars, this is called a simple A-H F. monoid. A standard A-H Frobenius monoid is non-degenerate when it satisfies the paper's non-degeneracy condition.

Uniqueness conjecture. Non-degenerate standard A-H Frobenius monoids differ only by their scalars. More precisely, but less generally, all non-abelian simple A-H F. monoids are isomorphic.

This conjecture proposes uniqueness up to scalar data, with the explicitly stated stronger-looking special formulation for non-abelian simple A-H F. monoids. The supplied text does not establish whether either formulation is resolved.
