Abstract
The Bershadsky–Polyakov algebras are the original examples of nonregular W-algebras, obtained from the affine vertex operator algebras associated with $$\mathfrak {sl}_3$$<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">

</mml:math> by quantum Hamiltonian reduction. In Fehily et al. (Comm Math Phys 385:859–904, 2021), we explored the representation theories of the simple quotients of these algebras when the level $$\mathsf {k}$$<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mml:mi>k</mml:mi>
</mml:math> is nondegenerate-admissible. Here, we combine these explorations with Adamović’s inverse quantum Hamiltonian reduction functors to study the modular properties of Bershadsky–Polyakov characters and deduce the associated Grothendieck fusion rules. The results are not dissimilar to those already known for the affine vertex operator algebras associated with $$\mathfrak {sl}_2$$<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
