Abstract
Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative algebra in a braided monoidal category [Formula: see text]. For example, [Formula: see text] could be a vertex operator algebra (VOA) extension of a VOA [Formula: see text] in a category [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-modules. We first find conditions for the category [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-modules in [Formula: see text] and its subcategory [Formula: see text] of local modules to inherit rigidity from [Formula: see text]. Second and more importantly, we prove a converse result, finding conditions under which [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] inherit rigidity from [Formula: see text]. For our first results, we assume that [Formula: see text] is a braided finite tensor category and identify mild conditions under which [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are also rigid. These conditions are based on criteria due to Etingof and Ostrik for [Formula: see text] to be an exact algebra in [Formula: see text]. As an application, we show that if [Formula: see text] is a simple [Formula: see text]-graded VOA containing a strongly rational vertex operator subalgebra [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is also strongly rational, without requiring the dimension of [Formula: see text] in the modular tensor category of [Formula: see text]-modules to be non-zero. We also identify conditions under which the category of [Formula: see text]-modules inherits rigidity from the module category of a [Formula: see text]-cofinite non-rational subalgebra [Formula: see text]. For our converse result, we assume that [Formula: see text] is a Grothendieck–Verdier category, which means that [Formula: see text] admits a weaker duality structure than rigidity. We first show that [Formula: see text] is also a Grothendieck–Verdier category. Using this, we then prove that if [Formula: see text] is rigid, then so is [Formula: see text] under conditions that include a mild non-degeneracy assumption on [Formula: see text], as well as assumptions that every simple object of [Formula: see text] is local and that induction [Formula: see text] commutes with duality. These conditions are motivated by free field-like VOA extensions [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is often an indecomposable [Formula: see text]-module, and thus our result will make it more feasible to prove rigidity for many vertex algebraic braided monoidal categories. In a follow-up work, our results are used to prove rigidity of the category of weight modules for the simple affine VOA of [Formula: see text] at any admissible level, which embeds by Adamović’s inverse quantum Hamiltonian reduction into a rational Virasoro VOA tensored with a half-lattice VOA.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
