Abstract

In previous work, we defined and studied Σ\Sigma^*-modules, a class of Hilbert CC^*-modules over Σ\Sigma^*-algebras (the latter are CC^*-algebras that are sequentially closed in the weak operator topology). The present work continues this study by developing the appropriate Σ\Sigma^*-algebraic analogue of the notion of strong Morita equivalence for CC^*-algebras. We define strong Σ\Sigma^*-Morita equivalence, prove a few characterizations, look at the relationship with equivalence of categories of a certain type of Hilbert space representation, study Σ\Sigma^*-versions of the interior and exterior tensor products, and prove a Σ\Sigma^*-version of the Brown-Green-Rieffel stable isomorphism theorem.
