Triangular prism equations for near-group categories: algebraic solutions and a unitary conjecture

We derive the triangular prism equations (TPE) for near-group fusion rules of type $G+|G|$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group. We prove that spherical categorification with trivial Frobenius--Schur indicator over any field in which $|G|$ is invertible is equivalent to the solvability of the TPE sy
