Abstract: Given a braided pivotal category $mathcalC$ and a pivotal module tensor category $mathcalM$, we define a functor $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}:mathcalMomathcalC$, called the associated categorified trace. By a result of Bezrukavnikov, Finkelberg and Ostrik, the functor $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}$ comes equipped with natural isomorphisms $a{u}_{x,y}:mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(xotimesy)omathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(yotimesx)$, which we call the traciators. This situation lends itself to a diagramatic calculus of `strings on cylinders', where the traciator corresponds to wrapping a string around the back of a cylinder. We show that $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}$ in fact has a much richer graphical calculus in which the tubes are allowed to branch and braid. Given algebra objects $A$ and $B$, we prove that $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(A)$ and $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(AotimesB)$ are again algebra objects. Moreover, provided certain mild assumptions are satisfied, $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(A)$ and $mathrm{Tr}_{mathcalC}(AotimesB)$ are semisimple whenever $A$ and $B$ are semisimple.
