Motivated by the so-called H-cell reduction theorems, we investigate certain classes of bicategories which have only one H-cell apart from possibly the identity. We show that H_0-simple quasi fiab bicategories with unique H-cell H_0 are…

We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators…

Given a compact space X and two commuting continuous open surjective maps sigma_1, sigma_2 : X --> X, we construct certain C*-algebras that reflect the dynamics of the N^2-action. When the maps sigma_1, sigma_2 are local homeomorphisms,…

We recast basic topological concepts underlying differential geometry using the language and tools of noncommutative geometry. This way we characterize principal (free and proper) actions by a density condition in (multiplier) C*-algebras.…

We review the notions of a multiplier category and the $W^{*}$-envelope of a $C^{*}$-category. We then consider the notion of an orthogonal sum of a (possibly infinite) family of objects in a $C^{*}$-category. Furthermore, we construct…

A $C^*$-textile dynamical system $({\cal A}, \rho,\eta,\Sigma^\rho,\Sigma^\eta, \kappa)$ connsists of a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\cal A}$, two families of endomorphisms ${\rho_\alpha}_{\alpha \in \Sigma^\rho}$ and ${\eta_a}_{a \in…

Let $B \subset A$ be a depth $2$ inclusion of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of index-finite type. We show that the second relative commutant $B' \cap A_1$ carries a canonical structure of a weak $C^*$-Hopf…

A Q-system in a C* 2-category is a unitary version of a separable Frobenius algebra object and can be viewed as a unitary version of a higher idempotent. We define a higher unitary idempotent completion for C* 2-categories called Q-system…

This paper addresses the problem of describing the structure of tensor C*-categories M with conjugates and irreducible tensor unit. No assumption on the existence of a braided symmetry or on amenability is made. Our assumptions are…
