Cardy Algebras, Sewing Constraints and String-Nets
Abstract
In \cite{Schweigert:2019zwt} it was shown how string-net spaces for the Cardy bulk algebra in the Drinfeld center of a modular tensor category give rise to a consistent set of correlators. We extend their results to include open-closed world sheets and allow for more general field algebras, which come in the form of -Cardy algebras. To be more precise, we show that a set of fundamental string-nets with input data from a -Cardy algebra gives rise to a solution of the sewing constraints formulated in \cite{Kong_2014} and that any set of fundamental string-nets solving the sewing constraints determine a -Cardy algebra up to isomorphism. Hence we give an alternative proof of the results in \cite{Kong_2014} in terms of string-nets.
