Review text

The main result of this paper is the explicit determination of the fusion rules, that is, the multiplicities of simple constituents in a tensor product of two simple objects, for a class of integral fusion categories. This class consists of representation categories of certain cocentral Abelian extensions of (quasi-)Hopf algebras, and includes the representation categories of semisimple Hopf algebras obtained as an Abelian extension associated to an action of a finite group on another one by group automorphisms, and also twisted quantum doubles of finite groups.NEWLINENEWLINE The proof of the main formula for the fusion coefficients relies on the determination of the characters of the irreducible representations and a combination of this with an appropriate inner product for which the irreducible characters form an orthonormal set. As the author points out, this result was anticipated by \textit{S. J. Witherspoon} [in the paper Adv. Math. 185, No. 1, 136-158 (2004; Zbl 1063.16012)]. An example where the fusion rules are not commutative is given at the end.
