nLab Moore-Seiberg data

Moore–Seiberg data are structure constants for a modular tensor category, seen as a Frobenius algebra in the 2-category of Vect kVect_k-enriched abelian categories. More explicitely, Moore–Seiberg data for the modular tensor category 𝒞\mathcal{C} are the collections of kk-vector spaces

X 1,,X n=Hom 𝒞(1,X 1X n), \langle X_1,\dots,X_n\rangle=Hom_\mathcal{C}(\mathbf{1},X_1\otimes\cdots\otimes X_n),

where 1\mathbf{1} is the unit object of 𝒞\mathcal{C}.
