Logarithmic Tensor Category Theory for Generalized Modules for a Conformal Vertex Algebra, I: Introduction and Strongly

This is the first part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. This theory generalizes the tensor category theory for modules for a v
