Etingof, D. Nikshych} and \\textit{V. Ostrik}, Ann. Math. (2) 162, No. 2, 581--642 (2005; Zbl 1125.16025)] is a \\(K\\)-linear semisimple rigid tensor category \\({\\mathcal C}\\) with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects, finite-dimensional spaces of morphisms, and such that the unit object of \\({\\mathcal C}\\) is simple. The paper under review is a very long one concerned with the foundations of the theory of braided fusion categories, that is, fusion categories equipped with a braiding \\(c_{X,Y}:X\\otimes Y\\rightarrow Y\\otimes X\\), \\(X,Y\\in {\\mathcal C}\\). The guiding heuristic principle of the work is an analogy between braided fusion categories and Casimir Lie algebras. Some known results are formulated and proved without assuming the existence of a spherical structure (premodular fusion categories).  The main new contribution of this paper is the definition of the notion of the core of a braided fusion category and the study of its properties. To do that, the authors: i) first extend \\textit{M. Müger}'s results on centralizers [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 87, No. 2, 291--308 (2003; Zbl 1037.18005)] from modular categories to braided fusion categories which are not necessarily non-degenerate or pre-modular; ii) following the ideas of \\textit{A. Bruguières} [Math. Ann. 316, No.~2, 215--236 (2000; Zbl 0943.18004)] and \\textit{M. Müger} [Adv. Math. 150, No.~2, 151--201 (2000; Zbl 0945.18006)], they deal with two mutually inverse constructions, namely `equivariantization' (the passage from an action of a group \\(G\\) to a category over \\({\\mathcal R}ep(G)\\)) and `de-equivariantization' (taking the fiber category). Then they study the structure of braided fusion categories from two complementary points of view: one based on analysis of Tannakian subcategories and another based on group actions on braided fusion categories.  If \\({\\mathcal C}\\) is a braided fusion category and if \\({\\mathcal E}={\\mathcal R}ep(G)\\subset {\\mathcal C}\\) is a maximal Tannakian subcategory of \\({\\mathcal C}\\), then the core of \\({\\mathcal C}\\) corresponding to \\({\\mathcal E}\\) is the braided fusion category \\({\\mathcal C}ore_{{\\mathcal E}}({\\mathcal C})={\\mathcal E}'\\boxtimes_{{\\mathcal E}}{\\mathcal V}ec\\) obtained by the de-quivariantization of the centralizer \\({\\mathcal E}'\\) of \\({\\mathcal E}\\). If \\(\\Gamma_{{\\mathcal E}}\\) denotes the image of \\(G\\) in the group of isomorphism classes of braided autoequivalences of \\({\\mathcal C}ore_{{\\mathcal E}}({\\mathcal C})\\), the main theorem shows that the equivalence class of the pair \\(({\\mathcal C}ore_{{\\mathcal E}}({\\mathcal C}),\\Gamma_{{\\mathcal E}})\\) does not depend on the choice of \\({\\mathcal E}\\).   After a discussion of Gauss sums of pre-modular categories, the paper finishes with six Appendixes where consecutively the authors : 1) expose basic results on quadratic forms of finite abelian groups; 2) expose known facts about non-pointed fusion categories; 3) recall a characterization of centralizers; 4) give an alternative proof of a theorem by Joyal-Street on premetric groups; 5) study extensions of a group by a (braided) categorical group; 6) prove that a full subcategory of a fusion category which is closed under tensor product is rigid.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1865289"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1104398"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4664361"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1971676"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4830108"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q917076"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4523528"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4864319"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q912203"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4921707"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4779050"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5749433"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2496967"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4658940"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q610669"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q606475"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4660483"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q927320"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2469880"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1320266"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4317887"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q862263"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1865273"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4103600"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4043127"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1977154"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4434574"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1879644"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1868703"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1868702"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q909279"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1295558"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q926260"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1397612"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4808275"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q971485"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1346092"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4486727"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5670687"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1408564"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1277018"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5906588"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2545747"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2541375"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-03-27T16:08:49Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
