Morita equivalence of dual operator algebras

Operator Algebras 2007-09-24 v3 Functional Analysis

Abstract

We consider a variant of the notion of Morita equivalence appropriate to weak* closed algebras of Hilbert space operators, which we call {\em weak Morita equivalence}. We obtain new variants, appropriate to the dual algebra setting, of the basic theory of strong Morita equivalence, and new nonselfadjoint variants of aspects of Rieffel's WW^*-algebraic Morita equivalence.
