Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a construction of new braided fusion categories from a given category known as zesting. This method has been used in the past to provide categorifications of new fusion rule algebras, modular data, and minimal modular extensions of super-modular categories. We will present a complete obstruction theory and parametrisation approach to the construction and illustrate its utility with several examples.

The talk is based on the manuscript arxiv.org/abs/2005.05544 a joint work with Colleen Delaney, Julia Plavnik, Eric C. Rowell, and Qing Zhang.
