Fully local Reshetikhin-Turaev theories

Published 9 Jan 2026 in math.QA and math-ph | (2601.05518v1)

Abstract: We define a symmetric tensor enhancement $\mathrm{E}\mathbb{F}$ with full duals of the 3-category $\mathbb{F}$ of fusion categories in which every Reshetikhin--Turaev theory has a fully local realization. Our $\mathrm{E}\mathbb{F}$ is a direct sum of invertible $\mathbb{F}$-modules, indexed by a $μ_6$-extension of the Witt group $W$ of non-degenerate braided fusion categories. Similarly, we enhance the 3-category $S\mathbb{F}$ of fusion super-categories to a symmetric tensor 3-category $\mathrm{E} S\mathbb{F}$ with full duals, which is a sum of invertible $S\mathbb{F}$-modules, indexed by an extension of the super-Witt group $SW$ with kernel the Pontrjagin dual of the stable stem $π_3s$. The unit spectrum of $\mathrm{E}S\mathbb{F}$ is the connective cover of the Pontrjagin dual of $\mathbb{S}{-3}$. We discuss tangential structures and central charges of the resulting TQFTs. We establish Spin-invariance of fusion supercategories and relate SO-invariance structures to modular and spherical structures. This confirms some conjectures from arxiv:1312.7188.
