The 2-Hilbert space of a prequantum bundle gerbe

We construct a prequantum 2-Hilbert space for any line bundle gerbe whose Dixmier–Douady class is torsion. Analogously to usual prequantization, this 2-Hilbert space has the category of sections of the line bundle gerbe as its underlying 2-vector space. These sections are obtained as certain morphism categories in Waldorf’s version of the 2-category of line bundle gerbes. We show that these morphism categories carry a monoidal structure under which they are semisimple and abelian. We introduce a dual functor on the sections, which yields a closed structure on the morphisms between bundle gerbes and turns the category of sections into a 2-Hilbert space. We discuss how these 2-Hilbert spaces fit various expectations from higher prequantization. We then extend the transgression functor to the full 2-category of bundle gerbes and demonstrate its compatibility with the additional structures introduced. We discuss various aspects of Kostant–Souriau prequantization in this setting, including its dimensional reduction to ordinary prequantization.

A Complex of Modules and Its Applications to Local Cohomology and Extension Functors

Let $(R,m)$ be a commutative Noetherian complete local ring and let $M$ be a non-zero Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module of dimension $n$. It is shown that, if $\operatorname{projdim}_R(M)<\infty$, then $\operatorname{injdim}_R(D(H^n_{\mathfrak{m}}(M)))<\infty$, and if $\operatorname{injdim}_R(M)<\infty$, then $\operatorname{projdim}_R(D(H^n_{\mathfrak{m}}(M)))<\infty$, where $D(-):= \operatorname{Hom}_{R}(-,E)$ denotes the Matlis dual functor and $E := E_R(R/\mathfrak{m})$ is the injective hull of the residue field $R/\mathfrak{m}$. Also, it is shown that if $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is a Noetherian complete local ring, $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module and $x_1,\ldots,x_k$, $(k\geq 1)$, is an $M$-regular sequence, then \[ D(H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(D(H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(M))))\simeq M. \] In particular, $\operatorname{Ann} H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(M)=\operatorname{Ann} M$. Moreover, it is shown that if $R$ is a Noetherian ring, $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $x_1,\ldots,x_k$ is an $M$-regular sequence, then \[ \operatorname{Ext}^{k+1}_R(R/(x_1,\ldots,x_k),M)=0. \]

SOME NON-BRAIDED FUSION CATEGORIES OF RANK THREE

We classify all fusion categories for a given set of fusion rules with three simple object types. If a conjecture of Ostrik is true, our classification completes the classification of fusion categories with three simple object types. To facilitate the discussion, we describe a convenient, concrete and useful variation of graphical calculus for fusion categories, discuss pivotality and sphericity in this framework, and give a short and elementary re-proof of the fact that the quadruple dual functor is naturally isomorphic to the identity.
