The geometry of unitary 2-representations of finite groups and their 2-characters
From MaRDI portal

Abstract: Motivated by topological quantum field theory, we investigate the geometric aspects of unitary 2-representations of finite groups on 2-Hilbert spaces, and their 2-characters. We show how the basic ideas of geometric quantization are `categorified' in this context: just as representations of groups correspond to equivariant line bundles, 2-representations of groups correspond to equivariant gerbes. We also show how the 2-character of a 2-representation can be made functorial with respect to morphisms of 2-representations. Under the geometric correspondence, the 2-character of a 2-representation corresponds to the geometric character of its associated equivariant gerbe. This enables us to show that the complexified 2-character is a unitarily fully faithful functor from the complexified homotopy category of unitary 2-representations to the category of unitary equivariant vector bundles over the group.
