We consider the possibility of semisimple tensor categories whose fusion rule includes exactly one noninvertible simple object. Conditions are given for the existence or nonexistence of coherent associative structures for such fusion rules,…

It is shown that the idempotent completion of the additive hull of the tensor product of the residue category of the category of paths of a locally finite quiver modulo an admissible ideal and a dualizing category is dualizing. Furthermore,…

We show that direct limit completions of vertex tensor categories inherit vertex and braided tensor category structures, under conditions that hold for example for all known Virasoro and affine Lie algebra tensor categories. A consequence…

In [arXiv:1509.02937], the notion of a module tensor category was introduced as a braided monoidal central functor $F\colon \mathcal{V}\longrightarrow \mathcal{T}$ from a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$ to a monoidal category…

We prove that the Balmer spectrum of a tensor triangulated category is homeomorphic to the Zariski spectrum of its graded central ring, provided the triangulated category is generated by its tensor unit and the graded central ring is…

We verify a conjecture of Etingof and Ostrik, stating that an algebra object in a finite tensor category is exact if and only if it is a finite direct product of simple algebras. Towards that end, we introduce an analogue of the Jacobson…

We prove that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic Maass forms are traces of singular moduli for weak Maass forms. To prove this theorem, we construct a theta lift from spaces of weight -2 harmonic weak Maass forms to spaces of…

In this paper the authors prove fundamental decomposition theorems pertaining to the internal structure of monoidal triangulated categories (M$\Delta$Cs). The tensor structure of an M$\Delta$C enables one to view these categories like…

We show that two knots have matching Vassiliev invariants of order less than n if and only if they are equivalent modulo the nth group of the lower central series of some pure braid group, thus characterizing Vassiliev's knot invariants in…

For a quasitriangular C*-quantum group, we enrich the twisted tensor product constructed in the first part of this series to a monoidal structure on the category of its continuous coactions on C*-algebras. We define braided C*-quantum…

We develop the Witt group for certain braided monoidal categories with duality. In case of a braided fusion category over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we explicitly describe this structure. We then use this…

Given a braided pivotal category $\mathcal C$ and a pivotal module tensor category $\mathcal M$, we define a functor $\mathrm{Tr}_{\mathcal C}:\mathcal M \to \mathcal C$, called the associated categorified trace. By a result of…

We show that a braided monoidal category C can be endowed with the structure of a right (and left) module category over C \times C. In fact, there is a family of such module category structures, and they are mutually isomorphic if and only…

We prove that any `finite-type' component of a stability space of a triangulated category is contractible. The motivating example of such a component is the stability space of the Calabi--Yau-$N$ category $\mathcal{D}(\Gamma_N Q)$…
