A categorification of the notion of fusion categories to 2-categories.
The Tannaka duality establishes a correspondence between (multi-)fusion categories and weak Hopf algebras. It is expected that an analogous statement holds for the higher categorification of this setting. The theorem corresponding to the specialization of this setting to fusion 2-categories and semisimple Hopf categories (as opposed to multi- fusion 2-categories and weak Hopf categories) appears in (Green (2023)).
(Tannaka-Krein reconstruction theorem for fusion 2-categories)
There is a symmetric monoidal equivalence, contravariant at the level of 1-morphisms, between the full subcategory of consisting of locally faithful functors and the 2-category of 2-Hopf Algebras. The natural transformations associated to this equivalence reconstruct a semisimple Hopf category from its fusion 2-category of representations and fiber functor, and a fusion 2-category with fiber functor from the Hopf category .
