A relative tensor product of subfactors over a modular tensor category

Abstract

We define and study a certain relative tensor product of subfactors over a modular tensor category. This gives a relative tensor product of two completely rational heterotic full local conformal nets with trivial superselection structures over a common chiral representation category. In particular, we have a new realization of fusion rules of modular invariants. This also gives a mathematical definition of a composition of two gapped domain walls between topological phases.
