Tannaka duality for semisimple groups
Planned maintenance scheduled April 23, 2019 at 23:30 UTC (7:30pm US/Eastern)
Announcing the arrival of Valued Associate #679: Cesar Manara
Unicorn Meta Zoo #1: Why another podcast?What algebraic group does Tannaka-Krein reconstruct when fed the category of modules of a non-algebraic Lie algebra?Tannaka formalism and the étale fundamental groupIs there a ``path'' between any two fiber functors over the same field in Tannakian formalism?Counter example in Tannaka reconstruction?Recovering classical Tannaka duality from Lurie's version for geometric stacksTannaka DualityCan one explain Tannaka-Krein duality for a finite-group to … a computer ? (How to make input for reconstruction to be finite datum?)Tannakian Formalism for the Quaternions and Dihedral GroupTannakian theory for Lie algebrasIs it possible to reconstruct a finitely generated group from its category of representations?
$begingroup$
Tannakian formalism tells us that for any rigid, symmetric monoidal, semisimple category $mathcal{C}$ equipped with a fiber functor $F: mathcal{C} to Vect_k$ for a field $k$ (of characteristic $0$) there exists a reductive algebraic group $G cong Aut(F)$ such that $mathcal{C} cong Rep(G)$. This means that any such category is associated with a root datum.
Is there a version of this reconstruction theorem that will tell us when a category $mathcal{C}$ is the category of finite dimensional representations of a semisimple group? I would like to be able to associate with a Tannakian category a root system, and not just a root datum.

In order for ${mathcal C}$ to come from an algebraic group rather than a pro-algebraic one, you want ${mathcal C}$ to be finitely generated. And for semisimplicity, you want the group to have finite center. The center can be read off from the category. Cf. my paper “On the center of a compact group”, Intern. Math. Res. Notes. 2004:51, 2751-2756 (2004) or math.CT/0312257.

Ah this is excellent! So that claim is that a semisimple, finitely generated, rigid, symmetric monoidal abelian category with a fiber functor is the category of representations of a semisimple algebraic group if and only if the chain group of the category is finite. Is this correct?

Nothing here forces the group to be connected, and this finite center criterion holds only for connected groups (try $O(2)$).

Another criterion is that there should be only finitely many objects of bounded dimension. This condition might be easy to check in practice from abstract finiteness theorems. The proof is that, if the group is not semi simple, you can take any 1-dimensional character of the identity component and induce up to the main group. Because there are infinitely many characters, infinitely many representations.
