Representation theory for categorical symmetries
read the original abstract
This paper addresses the question of how categorical symmetries act on extended operators in quantum field theory. Building on recent results in two dimensions, we introduce higher tube categories and algebras associated to higher fusion category symmetries. We show that twisted sector extended operators transform in higher representations of higher tube algebras and interpret this result from the perspective of the sandwich construction of finite symmetries via the Drinfeld center. Focusing on three dimensions, we discuss a variety of examples to illustrate the general constructions. In the case of invertible symmetries, we show that higher tube algebras are higher analogues of twisted Drinfeld doubles of finite groups, generalising known constructions in two dimensions. Building on this foundation, we discuss non-invertible Ising-like symmetry categories obtained by gauging finite subgroups. We also consider non-invertible topological symmetry lines described by braided fusion categories and discuss connections to the M\"uger center and braided module categories.
