Braiding structures on categorical multi-Interval Jones-Wassermann subfactor

Abstract

In this paper, we construct braiding structures on the multi-interval Jones-Wassermann subfactor planar algebra associated with any unitary modular fusion category. Utilizing this construction, we provide a new proof of the self-duality of these subfactors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these braidings induce a projective unitary representation of the balanced superelliptic mapping class group; consequently, these structures effectively encode the non-trivial higher-genus data of the underlying category. As an application of this correspondence, we derive a generalized Verlinde formula as 2-box Fourier duality of the planar algebra.
