Abstract
The classification of mixed-state topological order requires indices that behave monotonically under finite-depth quantum channels. In two dimensions, a braided -tensor category, which corresponds to strong symmetry, arises from a state satisfying approximate Haag duality. In this note, we show that the -matrix and topological twists of the braided -tensor category are quantities that are monotone under finite-depth quantum channels.
