Tensor categories from conformal inclusions

Abstract:

It is well-known that if a tensor category has an abelian algebra object A, one obtains a new category, essentially by tensoring over A. An important class of such algebra objects come from conformal inclusions for loop groups. While these algebra objects have been known for a long time, an explicit description of the corresponding categories was only recently found.

They are somewhat surprisingly closely related to representation categories of the isomeric quantum Lie super algebras. This talk is based on joint work with Edie-Michell and a paper by Edie-Michell and Snyder.
