We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators on a G-Hilbert space, with deformed composition product. Our central results are those of stabilization and Takai duality for (twisted) crossed products in this context.

We construct two non-semisimple braided ribbon tensor categories of modules for each singlet vertex operator algebra $mathcal{M}(p)$, $pgeq 2$. The first category consists of all finite-length $mathcal{M}(p)$-modules with atypical composition factors, while the second is the subcategory of modules that induce to local modules for the triplet vertex operator algebra $mathcal{W}(p)$. We show that every irreducible module has a projective cover in the second of these categories, although not in the first, and we compute all fusion products involving atypical irreducible modules and their projective covers.
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 is that the theory of vertex operator (super)algebra extensions also applies to infinite-order extensions. As an application, we relate rigid and non-degenerate vertex tensor categories of certain modules for both the affine vertex superalgebra of $mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ and the $N=1$ super Virasoro algebra to categories of Virasoro algebra modules via certain cosets.
This is part one of a two-part work that relates two different approaches to two-dimensional open-closed rational conformal field theory. In part one we review the definition of a Cardy algebra, which captures the necessary consistency conditions of the theory at genus 0 and 1. We investigate the properties of these algebras and prove uniqueness and existence theorems. One implication is that under certain natural assumptions, every rational closed CFT is extendable to an open-closed CFT. The relation of Cardy algebras to the solutions of the sewing constraints is the topic of part two.
We consider algebras in a modular tensor category C. If the trace pairing of an algebra A in C is non-degenerate we associate to A a commutative algebra Z(A), called the full centre, in a doubled version of the category C. We prove that two simple algebras with non-degenerate trace pairing are Morita-equivalent if and only if their full centres are isomorphic as algebras. This result has an interesting interpretation in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory; it implies that there cannot be several incompatible sets of boundary conditions for a given bulk theory.
Let $mathcal{O}_c$ be the category of finite-length central-charge-$c$ modules for the Virasoro Lie algebra whose composition factors are irreducible quotients of reducible Verma modules. Recently, it has been shown that $mathcal{O}_c$ admits vertex algebraic tensor category structure for any $cinmathbb{C}$. Here, we determine the structure of this tensor category when $c=13-6p-6p^{-1}$ for an integer $p>1$. For such $c$, we prove that $mathcal{O}_{c}$ is rigid, and we construct projective covers of irreducible modules in a natural tensor subcategory $mathcal{O}_{c}^0$. We then compute all tensor products involving irreducible modules and their projective covers. Using these tensor product formulas, we show that $mathcal{O}_c$ has a semisimplification which, as an abelian category, is the Deligne product of two tensor subcategories that are tensor equivalent to the Kazhdan-Lusztig categories for affine $mathfrak{sl}_2$ at levels $-2+p^{pm 1}$. Next, as a straightforward consequence of the braided tensor category structure on $mathcal{O}_c$ together with the theory of vertex operator algebra extensions, we rederive known results for triplet vertex operator algebras $mathcal{W}(p)$, including rigidity, fusion rules, and construction of projective covers. Finally, we prove a recent conjecture of Negron that $mathcal{O}_c^0$ is braided tensor equivalent to the $PSL(2,mathbb{C})$-equivariantization of the category of $mathcal{W}(p)$-modules.
