Abstract

We address the problem of determining the obstruction to existence of solutions of the hexagon equation for abelian fusion rules and the classification of prime abelian anyons.

Keywords: Anyons, pointed fusion categories, modular categories, quadratic forms.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 16T05, 18D10.
