The extended Burnside ring and module categories
Andrew Rose

TL;DR
This paper introduces an extended Burnside ring generated by classes of semisimple module categories over Rep(G), linking it to centrally extended G-sets, and provides explicit formulas and tables for homomorphisms for groups S_4 and S_5.
Contribution
It defines the extended Burnside ring via semisimple module categories and relates it to centrally extended G-sets, with explicit computations for specific groups.
Findings
Ring homomorphisms into the multiplicative group are explicitly computed.
Tables of homomorphisms are provided for S_4 and S_5.
The extended Burnside ring is shown to be generated by classes of semisimple module categories.
Abstract
In this note an `extended Burnside ring' is defined, generated by classes of semisimple module categories over Rep(G) with quasifibre functors. Here G is a finite group and representations are taken over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. It is shown that this is equivalent to a ring generated by centrally extended G-sets and hence the name. Ring homomorphisms into the multiplicative group of the field are computed with an explicit formula and tables of these homomorphisms are given for the groups S_4 and S_5 which are of particular interest in the context of reductive algebraic groups. ----- L'anneau de Burnside \'etendu et cat\'egories de modules.
