Abstract

A braided fusion category is said to have Property F if the associated braid group representations factor through a finite group. We verify integral metaplectic modular categories have property F by showing these categories are group-theoretical. For the special case of integral categories [Formula: see text] with the fusion rules of [Formula: see text] we determine the finite group [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is braided equivalent to [Formula: see text]. In addition, we determine the associated classical link invariant, an evaluation of the 2-variable Kauffman polynomial at a point.
