Abstract

We generalize the notion of a continuous field of C*-algebras to that of Hilbert C*-bimodules. Given a partially ordered set PP and a monotonically non-decreasing family of ternary rings of operators (TROs) assigned to the points of PP, we equip PP with a certain zero-dimensional Hausdorff topology and use a certain compactification γP\gamma P to get the base space for a continuous field of Hilbert C*-bimodules over γP\gamma P. As a motivating example, we consider the set D(X,Y)D(X,Y) of coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the disjoint union of two metric spaces, XX and YY. Each such class gives rise to a uniform Roe bimodule, a TRO linking the uniform Roe algebras of XX and YY. The resulting family of TROs is non-decreasing with respect to the natural partial order on D(X,Y)D(X,Y) and thus yields a tautological continuous field of Hilbert C*-bimodules over γD(X,Y)\gamma D(X,Y).
