The symmetric tensor product on the Drinfeld centre of a symmetric fusion category

Abstract

We define a symmetric tensor product on the Drinfeld centre of a symmetric fusion category, in addition to its usual tensor product. We examine what this tensor product looks like under Tannaka duality, identifying the symmetric fusion category with the representation category of a finite (super)-group. Under this identification, the Drinfeld centre is the category of equivariant vector bundles over the finite group (underlying the super-group, in the super case). In the non-super case, we show that the symmetric tensor product corresponds to the fibrewise tensor product of these vector bundles. In the super case, we define for each super-group structure on the finite group a super-version of the fibrewise tensor product. We show that the symmetric tensor product on the Drinfeld centre of the representation category of the resulting finite super-groups corresponds to this super-version of the fibrewise tensor product on the category of equivariant vector bundles over the finite group.
