Abstract

For a finite braided tensor category $C$ we introduce its Picard crossed module $P (C)$ consisting of the group of invertible $C$ -module categories and the group of braided tensor autoequivalences of $C$ . We describe $P (C)$ in terms of braided autoequivalences of the Drinfeld center of $C$ . As an illustration, we compute the Picard crossed module of a braided pointed fusion category.
