Abstract: Let $mathcalC$ be a finite braided multitensor category. Let $B$ be Majid's automorphism braided group of $mathcalC$, then $B$ is a cocommutative Hopf algebra in $mathcalC$. We show that the center of $mathcalC$ is isomorphic to the category of left $B$-comodules in $mathcalC$, and the decomposition of $B$ into a direct sum of indecomposable $mathcalC$-subcoalgebras leads to a decomposition of $B$-$operatorname\ast {Comod}_{mathcalC}$ into a direct sum of indecomposable $mathcalC$-module subcategories. As an application, we present an explicit characterization of the structure of irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over semisimple quasi-triangular weak Hopf algebras. Our results generalize those results on finite groups and on quasi-triangular Hopf algebras.
