On the structure of Witt groups and minimal extension conjecture

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let E=Rep(G)\mathcal{E}=\text{Rep}(G) be a Tannakian fusion category. For a braided fusion category C\mathcal{C} over E\mathcal{E} we give sufficient and necessary conditions that characterize the Witt relation [C]=[E][\mathcal{C}]=[\mathcal{E}]. Then we show the Witt group W(E)\mathcal{W}(\mathcal{E}) is naturally a direct sum of Witt group W:=W(Vec)\mathcal{W}:=\mathcal{W}(\text{Vec}) and the group H4(G,K×)\text{H}^4(G,\mathbb{K}^\times). Consequently, for any non-degenerate fusion category C\mathcal{C} over E\mathcal{E}, there is a positive integer nn (e.g. n=∣G∣n=|G|) such that C⊠En\mathcal{C}^{\boxtimes_\mathcal{E}^n} admits a minimal extension.
