gh-35387: The Fusion Ring of the Drinfeld Double of a Finite Group <!-- Please provide a concise, informative and self-explanatory title. --> <!-- Don't put issue numbers in the title. Put it in the Description below. --> <!-- For example, instead of "Fixes #12345", use "Add a new method to multiply two integers" --> ### :books: Description <!-- Describe your changes here in detail. --> <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? --> <!-- If this PR resolves an open issue, please link to it here. For example "Fixes #12345". --> <!-- If your change requires a documentation PR, please link it appropriately. --> This code is very similar to the existing FusionRing class. Both FusionRing and the new FusionDouble classes implement Fusion Rings of Modular Tensor Categories, important in conformal field theory and related quantum math. The FusionDouble is the fusion ring of the Drinfeld double of a finite group. It has methods corresponding to fusion, S-matrix, twists of simple elements, quantum dimension. An interface is provide to the F-matrix code, but due to the fact that the number of simple objects is fairly large even for fairly small groups, the F-matrix code is only confirmed to work for very small group such as Z_2 and S_3. Apart from the F-matrix code, the code works for Drinfeld doubles of moderate size, tested for example on groups of order 16, and the simple groups A5 and GL(3,2) of orders 60 and 168. A prototype of this code by Wenqi Li is here: https://github.com/enqiLi/drinfeld_doubles Work issues: *The code would benefit from refactoring with the existing FusionRing code. It is proposed that we skip this since the existing code works well. *The Drinfeld double can be twisted by a 3-cocycle for H^3(G). This may be implemented in a later PR. ### :memo: Checklist <!-- Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply.
