Non-categorifiability conjecture for iterated integral fusion-ring extensions

From papers

Let R=R0\mathcal{R}=\mathcal{R}_0 be an integral fusion ring, and let (Rn)(\mathcal{R}_n) be the sequence obtained by iterating the integral extension construction of Proposition, starting from R0\mathcal{R}_0. A non-categorifiability conjecture asserts that there exists an integer nn such that Rn\mathcal{R}_n does not admit a complex categorification. The claim predicts that iterated integral extensions eventually produce a fusion ring outside the class of complex categorifiable fusion rings, although the supplied text gives no evidence resolving this assertion.
