Representations and conjugacy classes of semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebras (Q2185856)

The paper under review is devoted to the description of the Müger's centralizers of the fusion subcategories of the category \(\mathsf{Rep}(A)\) of finite-dimensional representations of a semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebra \((A,R)\). Recall from [\textit{M. Müger}, Adv. Math. 150, No. 2, 151--201 (2000; Zbl 0945.18006)] that if \(\mathcal{C}\) is a tensor category with braiding \(c\) then the centralizer \(\mathcal{D}'\) of a subcategory \(\mathcal{D}\subseteq \mathcal{C}\) is the full subcategory whose objects are the \(X\) in \(\mathcal{C}\) satisfying \(c_{Y,X}\circ c_{X,Y} = \mathsf{id}_{X \otimes Y}\) for all \(Y \in \mathsf{Obj}\left(\mathcal{D}\right)\). By taking advantage of the fact that any fusion subcategory of \(\mathsf{Rep}(A)\) can be written as \(\mathsf{Rep}(A/AL^+)\) for some Hopf quotient of \(A\) (where \(L \subseteq A\) is a left normal coideal subalgebra; see e.g. [\textit{S. Burciu}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 218, No. 3, 540--552 (2014; Zbl 1290.16027)]), the author gives two general descriptions of the centralizers of the \(\mathsf{Rep}(A/AL^+)\)'s. In Theorem 1.1, this description is given in the terms of the Drinfel'd map \[\phi_R : A^* \to A, \qquad f \mapsto (f \otimes \mathsf{id}_A)(R_{21}R),\] associated to the quasitriangular Hopf algebra \((A,R)\), namely: \[\mathsf{Rep}(A/AL^+)' = \mathsf{Rep}(A/AM^+) \qquad \text{where} \qquad M = \phi_R\left(\left(A/AL^+\right)^*\right).\] In Theorem 1.2 and Corollary 1.3, instead, the (isomorphism classes of) simple objects of \(\mathsf{Rep}(A/AL^+)'\) are expressed in terms of the conjugacy classes introduced by \textit{M. Cohen} and \textit{S. Westreich} [in: Ring and module theory. Selected papers of the international conference, Ankara, Turkey, August 18--22, 2008. Basel: Birkhäuser. 91--114 (2010; Zbl 1211.16022)].
