An explicit fusion algebra isomorphism for twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. (Q1763751): Difference between revisions

Let \(p\) be an odd prime number. The author constructs an explicit isomorphism between the fusion algebras of the Drinfeld double \(D(G)\) of an extraspecial \(p\)-group \(G\) and the twisted Drinfeld double \(D^\omega(E)\), where \(E\) is an elementary Abelian group of order \(|E|=|G|\), and \(\omega\) is an appropriate 3-cocycle on \(E\). This extends previous work of the author [J. Algebra 259, No. 2, 494-511 (2003; Zbl 1023.17009)] for the case \(p=2\). Since \(G\) is a central extension of \(Z(G)\simeq\mathbb{Z}_p\) by an elementary Abelian group, the Drinfeld double \(D(G)\) is twist equivalent to the twisted Drinfeld double \(D^\omega(E)\), by the results in the reviewer's paper [J. Algebra 270, No. 1, 199--211 (2003; Zbl 1040.16027)]; this guarantees the existence of such fusion algebra isomorphisms.
