    In this paper we give a complete classification of pointed fusion categories over C\mathbb{C} of global dimension 8. We first classify the equivalence classes of pointed fusion categories of dimension 8, and then we proceed to determine which of these equivalence classes have equivalent categories of modules. This classificaction permits to classify the equivalence classes of braded tensor equivalences of twisted Drinfeld doubles of finite groups of order 8.Comment: 16 page

    Deligne Cohomology for Orbifolds, discrete torsion and B-fields

    In this paper we introduce the concept of Deligne cohomology of an orbifold. We prove that the third Deligne cohomology group of a smooth \'{e}tale groupoid classify gerbes with connection over the groupoid. We argue that the BB-field and the discrete torsion in type II superstring theories are special kinds of gerbes with connection, and finally, for each one of them, using Deligne cohomology we construct a flat line bundle over the inertia groupoid, namely a Ruan inner local in the case of an orbifold.Comment: To be published in the Proceedings of the Summer School "Geometric and Topological methods for Quantum Field Theory", Villa de Leyva, Colombia (2001
