Abstract
We give criteria for when finitely generated local modules over a commutative algebra in the ind-completion of a braided tensor category inherit the structure of a (rigid, braided, ribbon) tensor category. We then apply this to simple current algebras , where is a subgroup of invertible objects in . Using a description of simple -modules, we verify the required hypotheses for this class of algebras and deduce rigidity, braided, ribbon, and non-degeneracy properties for their finitely generated local modules. As applications, we construct examples of ribbon tensor categories from quantum supergroup categories for unrolled .
