Let V⊆A be a conformal inclusion of vertex operator algebras and let C be a category of grading-restricted generalized V-modules that admits the vertex algebraic braided tensor category structure of Huang-Lepowsky-Zhang. We give conditions under which C inherits semisimplicity from the category of grading-restricted generalized A-modules in C, and vice versa. The most important condition is that A be a rigid V-module in C with non-zero categorical dimension, that is, we assume the index of V as a subalgebra of A is finite and non-zero. As a consequence, we show that if A is strongly rational, then V is also strongly rational under the following conditions: A contains V as a V-module direct summand, V is C_2-cofinite with a rigid tensor category of modules, and A has non-zero categorical dimension as a V-module. These results are vertex operator algebra interpretations of theorems proved for general commutative algebras in braided tensor categories. We also generalize these results to the case that A is a vertex operator superalgebra.

Motivated by Kapranov's discovery of an $L_\infty$ algebra structure on the tangent complex of a K\"{a}hler manifold and Chen-Sti\'{e}non-Xu's construction of a Leibniz$_\infty[1]$ algebra associated with a Lie pair, we find a general method to construct Leibniz$_\infty[1]$ algebras ---from a DG derivation $\mathscr{A} \xrightarrow{\delta} \Omega$ of a commutative differential graded algebra $\mathscr{A}$ valued in a DG $\mathscr{A}$-module $\Omega$. We prove that for any $\delta$-connection $\nabla$ on $\mathcal{B}$, the $\A$-dual of $\Omega$, there associates a Leibniz$_\infty[1]$ $\mathscr{A}$-algebra $(\mathcal{B},\{\mathcal{R}^\nabla_k\}_{k\geq 1})$. Moreover, this construction is canonical, i.e., the isomorphism class of $(\mathcal{B},\{\mathcal{R}^\nabla_k\}_{k\geq 1})$ only depends on the homotopy class of $\delta$.

We present a 3D topological picture-language for quantum information. Our approach combines charged excitations carried by strings, with topological properties that arise from embedding the strings in the interior of a 3D manifold with boundary. A quon is a composite that acts as a particle. Specifically, a quon is a hemisphere containing a neutral pair of open strings with opposite charge. We interpret multiquons and their transformations in a natural way. We obtain a type of relation, a string–genus “joint relation,” involving both a string and the 3D manifold. We use the joint relation to obtain a topological interpretation of the C* Hopf algebra relations, which are widely used in tensor networks. We obtain a 3D representation of the controlled NOT (CNOT) gate that is considerably simpler than earlier work, and a 3D topological protocol for teleportation.
