Abstract
We give formulae for the multiplicities of eigenvalues of generalized rotation operators in terms of generalized Frobenius-Schur indicators in a semisimple spherical tensor category C. In particular, this implies that the entire collection of rotation eigenvalues for a fusion category can be computed from the fusion rules and the traces of rotation at finitely many tensor powers. We also establish a rigidity property for FS indicators of fusion categories with a given fusion ring via Jones's theory of planar algebras. If C is also braided, these formulae yield the multiplicities of eigenvalues for a large class of braids in the associated braid group representations. When C is modular, this allows one to determine the eigenvalues and multiplicities of braids in terms of just the S and T matrices.
