For a braided tensor category C and a subcategory K there is a notion of centralizer C_C(K), which is a full tensor subcategory of C. A pre-modular tensor category is known to be modular in the sense of Turaev iff the center Z_2(C):=C_C(C)…

We discuss the tensor structure on the category of modules of the $N=1$ triplet vertex operator superalgebra $\mathcal{SW}(m)$ introduced by Adamovi\'{c} and Milas. Based on the theory of vertex tensor supercategories, we determine the…

Inspired by the study of vertex operator algebra extensions, we answer the question of when the category of local modules over a commutative exact algebra in a braided finite tensor category is a (non-semisimple) modular tensor category.…

For vertex operator algebra V_{\sqrt{2}A_l} associated to the even lattice \sqrt{2}A_l which is \sqrt{2} times root lattice of type A_l, it was shown by Dong-Li-Maosn-Norton that the Virasoro vector is a sum of l+1 mutually orthogonal…
