A relation between chiral central charge and ground state degeneracy in 2+1-dimensional topological orders. Liang Kong, Xiao-Gang Wen. Comments: 8 pages. This paper supersedes Section XIV of an unpublished work arXiv:1405.5858. We add new results on fermionic topological orders and some numerical checks.
An algebraic higher symmetry is fully described by a local fusion higher category R, which can be viewed as a boundary of a topological order M in one higher dimension. See: Categorical symmetry and non-invertible anomaly in symmetry-breaking and topological phase transitions.
