Monoidal categories graded by crossed modules and 3-dimensional HQFTs
Abstract
Given a crossed module , we introduce -graded monoidal categories and -fusion categories. We use spherical -fusion categories to construct (via the state sum method) 3-dimensional Homotopy Quantum Field Theories with target the classifying space B of the crossed module (which is a homotopy 2-type).
