Abstract
We give two different proofs of the existence of the $AH + 2$ subfactor, which is a 3-supertransitive self-dual subfactor with index $\frac{9+\sqrt{17}}{2}$. The first proof is a direct construction using connections on graphs and intertwiner calculus for bimodule categories. The second proof is indirect, and deduces the existence of $AH + 2$ from a recent alternative construction of the Asaeda-Haagerup subfactor and fusion combinatorics of the Brauer-Picard groupoid.
