Abstract

In our article [arXiv:1511.05226], we studied the commutant CBim(R)\mathcal{C}'\subset \operatorname{Bim}(R) of a unitary fusion category C\mathcal{C}, where RR is a hyperfinite factor of type II1\rm II_1, II\rm II_\infty, or III1\rm III_1, and showed that it is a bicommutant category. In other recent work [arXiv:1607.06041, arXiv:2301.11114] we introduced the notion of a (unitary) anchored planar algebra in a (unitary) braided pivotal category D\mathcal{D}, and showed that they classify (unitary) module tensor categories for D\mathcal{D} equipped with a distinguished object. Here, we connect these two notions and show that finite depth objects of C\mathcal{C}' are classified by connected finite depth unitary anchored planar algebras in Z(C)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}). This extends the classification of finite depth objects of Bim(R)\operatorname{Bim}(R) by connected finite depth unitary planar algebras.
