Abstract: We show that fusion categories $Rep(k{u}_{au}^{sigma}Tc)$ of representations of the weak Hopf algebra coming from a vacant double groupoid $Tc$ and a pair $(sigma,au)$ of compatible 2-cocyles are group-theoretical.

Review text

Probably the most important question in the theory of complex semisimple Hopf algebras is whether any such Hopf algebra is group-theoretical [see \textit{P. Etingof, D. Nikshych} and \textit{V. Ostrik}, Ann. Math. (2) 162, No. 2, 581-642 (2005; Zbl 1125.16025)]. Here `group-theoretical' means that its category of representations is a group-theoretical fusion category in the sense of \textit{V. Ostrik} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2003, No. 27, 1507-1520 (2003; Zbl 1044.18005)]. A class of fusion categories was constructed by \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch} and \textit{S. Natale} [in Publ. Mat. Urug. 10, 11-51 (2005; Zbl 1092.16021)] starting from vacant double groupoids. The objects of these fusion categories have integer Perron-Frobenius dimensions, hence they are actually categories of representations of quasi-Hopf algebras. It is shown in the paper under review that fusion categories arising from vacant double groupoids are indeed group-theoretical. It might be of interest to point out that the previously mentioned construction was extended by \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch} and \textit{S. Natale} [in Adv. Math. 200, No. 2, 539-583 (2006; Zbl 1099.16016)] to double groupoids satisfying a filling condition. A fairly complete description of such double groupoids was given by \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch} and \textit{S. Natale} [in The structure of double groupoids, arXiv:0602497v2]. The actual result seems to indicate that this class of fusion categories is group-theoretical, too.
