| contents | In recent work, Harman and Snowden constructed a symmetric tensor category associated to an oligomorphic group equipped with a measure. The oligomorphic group $\mathbb{G}$ of order preserving automorphisms of the real line admits exactly four measures. The category $\mathcal{C}$ associated to the first measure is called the (first) Delannoy category; it is semi-simple and pre-Tannakian, with numerous special properties.
In this paper, we study the (non-abelian) category $\mathcal{A}$ associated to the second measure, which we call the second Delannoy category. We construct a new pre-Tannakian category $\mathcal{D}$ together with a fully faithful tensor functor $Ψ\colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{D}$. The category $\mathcal{D}$ is the correct ``abelian version'' of the second Delannoy category. Like $\mathcal{C}$, it has remarkable properties: for instance, it is non-semi-simple, but behaves uniformly in the coefficient field (e.g., it has the same Grothendieck ring and $\mathrm{Ext}^1$ quiver over any field).
Additionally, we completely solve the problem of understanding how $\mathcal{A}$ relates to general pre-Tannakian categories. We show that $\mathcal{A}$ admits exactly two local abelian envelopes: the functor $Ψ$, and a previously constructed functor $Φ\colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{C}$. This is the first case where the local envelopes of a category have been completely determined, outside of cases where there is at most one envelope. This work opens the door to constructing abelian versions of other oligomorphic tensor categories that do not admit a unique envelope. |
