Abstract

It is known that the asymptotic density of states of a 2d CFT in an irreducible representation $\rho$ of a finite symmetry group $G$ is proportional to $(\dim\rho)^2$. We show how this statement can be generalized when the symmetry can be non-invertible and is described by a fusion category $\mathcal{C}$. Along the way, we explain what plays the role of a representation of a group in the case of a fusion category symmetry; the answer to this question is already available in the broader mathematical physics literature but not yet widely known in hep-th. This understanding immediately implies a selection rule on the correlation functions, and also allows us to derive the asymptotic density.<br />Comment: 42 pages; v2: minor revision; v3: published version
