From a Kac algebra subfactor to Drinfeld double

Abstract

Given a finite-index and finite-depth subfactor, we define the notion of \textit{quantum double inclusion} - a certain unital inclusion of von Neumann algebras constructed from the given subfactor - which is closely related to that of Ocneanu's asymptotic inclusion. We show that the quantum double inclusion when applied to the Kac algebra subfactor RHRR^H \subset R produces Drinfeld double of HH where HH is a finite-dimensional Kac algebra acting outerly on the hyperfinite II1II_1 factor RR and RHR^H denotes the fixed-point subalgebra. More precisely, quantum double inclusion of RHRR^H \subset R is isomorphic to RRD(H)copR \subset R \rtimes D(H)^{cop} for some outer action of D(H)copD(H)^{cop} on RR where D(H)D(H) denotes the Drinfeld double of HH.
