The crystal Temperley–Lieb center conjecture

Let CrysTL\mathbf{CrysTL} be the crystal Temperley–Lieb category, and let Z(CrysTL)\mathcal{Z}(\mathbf{CrysTL}) denote its Drinfeld center. The category has a canonical braided tensor functor

G:Rep(Z/2Z)Z(CrysTL).G:\operatorname{Rep}(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})\to\mathcal{Z}(\mathbf{CrysTL}).

Crystal Temperley–Lieb center conjecture. The canonical functor GG is a monoidal equivalence. This conjecture asserts that the only objects in the Drinfeld center are those induced by the Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}-grading; the source provides partial results but does not establish the equivalence.
