Monoidal functors, graphs, and field algebras (Q2341317)

Let \(\mathcal G\) be the category of graphs. This is a tensor category with tensor product given by the disjoint union. The author defines a graph functor as a monoidal functor \(A\to\mathrm{Vec}\) and a graph algebra as the \(\mathcal G\)-graded algebra \(\mathcal A=\bigoplus\limits_{a\in\mathrm{Ob}(\mathcal G)} A(a)\). In turn, the author defines a category \(\mathcal F\) consisting of graph algebras with some specific properties. In this article, it is shown that the category \(\mathcal F\) is equivalent to the category of formally rational deformation operads introduced by the same author [Ann. Henri Poincaré 12, No. 6, 1145--1168 (2011; Zbl 1226.81115)]. In particular, this shows that \(\mathcal F\) is also equivalent to the category of meromorphic field algebras.
