Abstract

In this article we establish new obstructions to the categorification of near-group fusion rings by combining the values of irreducible characters of the Grothendieck ring with the Galois symmetry of the induced unit object $I(1)$ in the Drinfeld center. As a result, we show that a near-group ring of type $G+m$, where $G$ is an abelian group and both $|G|$ and $m$ are odd, can only categorify if $m=|G|$.

An infinitesimal deformation of the post-Lie and post-Hopf algebra correspondence

We describe infinitesimal deformations of post-Lie algebras and post-Hopf algebras and prove that the universal enveloping algebra and primitive elements adjunction is compatible with the infinitesimal structure. In characteristic zero, this restricts to an equivalence for connected cocommutative infinitesimal post-Hopf algebras, extending the Cartier--Milnor--Moore theorem. We parametrize all infinitesimal post-Lie structures on $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ and exhibit a second-order obstruction. From a geometric point of view, infinitesimal post-Lie algebras emerge from flat connections with covariantly constant torsion and an additional compatible symmetric $(1,2)$-tensor. This leads to explicit examples of infinitesimal post-Lie structures based on Heisenberg Lie algebras. On the Hopf side, we classify infinitesimal structures above the trivial action, prove rigidity for group algebras, and describe the structures on Sweedler's Hopf algebra. The subadjacent construction induces a Hopf algebra deformation with fixed coproduct. Finally, we prove that the quadratic operad of infinitesimal post-Lie algebras is Koszul, using a filtered distributive law between the operads of Lie algebras and bi-magmas.

Reflective algebras over factorizable Hopf algebras

The reflective algebra $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$, introduced by Laugwitz, Walton and Yakimov, is a quasitriangular left $H$-comodule algebra constructed from a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $(H,R)$ and a left $H$-comodule algebra $A$. We study the structure and factorizability of finite-dimensional reflective algebras. When $(H,R)$ is factorizable, we show that $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$ is isomorphic, as a quasitriangular left $H$-comodule algebra, to $A\otimes H$ equipped with the trivial left $H$-coaction on $A$ and the universal $K$-matrix induced by $R_{21}R$. In this case, we also classify all universal $K$-matrices on $R_H(A)$. Finally, we prove that $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$ is factorizable if and only if $(H,R)$ is factorizable and $A$ is simple as an algebra.

On the Haagerup Vertex Operator Algebras

Three constructions of vertex operator algebras realizing the Haagerup center were announced independently and almost simultaneously. The relations between these constructions are studied in this paper. The generators are expressed in a common lattice basis for $E_6\oplus A_2$. It is proved that the constructions of Riesen and Huang give isomorphic vertex operator algebras, and that this algebra and the algebra constructed by Jiao have isomorphic fixed point subalgebras under automorphisms of order two. The isomorphisms are given explicitly on generators. The common fixed point subalgebra contains the parafermion vertex operator algebras $K(\mathfrak{sl}_2,3)$ and $K(\mathfrak{sl}_2,13)$. A general rationality criterion for unitary vertex operator algebras is given in terms of positive linear combinations of conformal vectors and is applied to these constructions. The two vertex operator algebras are simple current extensions of the common fixed point subalgebra and have equivalent module categories as ribbon categories. The equivalence follows from decomposition with respect to a nondegenerate pointed subcategory with four simple objects in the module category of the common fixed point subalgebra. It is also proved that the conformal nets associated with these unitary vertex operator algebras are completely rational.
