Logarithmic tensor category theory, VIII: Braided tensor category structure on categories of generalized modules for a conformal vertex algebra

Abstract

This is the eighth part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. In this paper (Part VIII), we construct the braided tensor category structure, using the previously developed results.

Part VIII of a series of 8 papers generalizing the results in and collectively replacing arXiv:0710:2687, with new titles. 36 pages. Minor changes
