abstract

We introduce group-theoretical fusion 2-categories, a strong categorification of the notion of a group-theoretical fusion 1-category. Physically speaking, such fusion 2-categories arise by gauging subgroups of a global symmetry. We show that group-theoretical fusion 2-categories are completely characterized by the property that the braided fusion 1-category of endomorphisms of the monoidal unit is Tannakian. Then, we describe the underlying finite semisimple 2-category of group-theoretical fusion 2-categories, and, more generally, of certain 2-categories of bimodules. We also partially describe the fusion rules of group-theoretical fusion 2-categories, and investigate the group gradings of such fusion 2-categories. Using our previous results, we classify fusion 2-categories admitting a fiber 2-functor. Next, we study fusion 2-categories with a Tambara-Yamagami defect, that is $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded fusion 2-categories whose non-trivially graded factor is $\mathbf{2Vect}$. We classify these fusion 2-categories, and examine more closely the more restrictive notion of Tambara-Yamagami fusion 2-categories. Throughout, we give many examples to illustrate our various results.

  1. SymTFT Approach for Mixed States with Non-Invertible Symmetries

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A SymTFT-based classification of 1+1d mixed-state phases with non-invertible strong and weak symmetries, with explicit lattice-model examples.

  2. Compact Semisimple Tensor 2-Categories are Morita Connected

    math.QA 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Every compact semisimple tensor 2-category is Morita equivalent to a connected one over arbitrary fields of characteristic zero, with applications to Witt groups and Galois cohomology.

  3. SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type $D$ from M-theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 7d SymTFT for 6d (2,0) D_N SCFTs is derived from M-theory on AdS7 × RP4, including the outer-automorphism Z2 sector, and is used to derive non-invertible symmetries and anomaly polynomials.

  4. Twisted gauging and topological sectors in (2+1)d abelian lattice gauge theories

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In (2+1)d abelian lattice gauge theories, a twisted-gauging duality is realized by tensor networks, and the permutation of topological sectors is computed, yielding unitary maps between dual Hamiltonians.

  5. SymSETs and self-dualities under gauging non-invertible symmetries

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new SymSET-based construction shows that changing symmetry fractionalization classes can change fusion rules of self-duality defects under non-invertible gauging, yielding new fusion categories such as Rep D16 and Rep SD16.

  6. Unitary Categorical Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper proposes that twisted-sector local operators transform in *-representations of the tube algebra of a higher fusion category symmetry, and classifies these representations using higher S-matrices.
