Dihedral pointed fusion categories: diagrammatics, 3-cocycle representatives, and planar algebras
Abstract
We construct a diagrammatic presentation by generators and relations for all dihedral pointed fusion categories VecD2nω. Applying a jellyfish algorithm on our diagrammatics, we obtain an explicit closed formula for a complete set of normalized 3-cocycle representatives of D2n. As applications of our diagrammatics, we prove a universal property and show that in some cases we can recover affine A unshaded subfactor planar algebras. We then extend our presentation to obtain diagrammatics for all pivotal structures on VecD2nω.
