Abstract: We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for $mathcalC$ a braided tensor category, we give a detailed construction of the canonical algebra in $$: if $mathcalC$ is semisimple but not necessarily finite or rigid, then $$ is a commutative algebra, with $X^{\prime }$ a representing object for $$. Conversely, let $$ be a simple commutative algebra in $$ with $mathcalU$ semisimple and rigid but not necessarily finite, and $mathcalV$ rigid but not necessarily semisimple. If the unit objects of $mathcalU$ and $mathcalV$ form a commuting pair in $A$, we show there is a braid-reversed equivalence between subcategories of $mathcalU$ and $mathcalV$ sending $U_i$ to $V_i^{\ast }$. When $mathcalU$ and $mathcalV$ are module categories for simple vertex operator algebras $U$ and $V$, we glue $U$ and $V$ along $$ via a map $au:extIrr(mathcalU)ightarrowextObj(mathcalV)$ such that $au(U)=V$ to create $$. Thus under certain conditions, $au$ extends to a braid-reversed equivalence between $mathcalU$ and $mathcalV$ if and only if $A$ is a simple conformal vertex algebra extending $UotimesV$. As examples, we glue Kazhdan-Lusztig categories at generic levels to obtain new vertex algebras extending the tensor product of two affine vertex algebras, and we prove braid-reversed equivalences between certain module categories for affine vertex algebras and $W$-algebras at admissible levels.
