Abstract

We associate a rigid C*-tensor category CC to a totally disconnected locally compact group GG and a compact open subgroup K<GK < G. We characterize when CC has the Haagerup property or property (T), and when CC is weakly amenable. When GG is compactly generated, we prove that CC is essentially equivalent to the planar algebra associated by Jones and Burstein to a group acting on a locally finite bipartite graph. We then concretely realize CC as the category of bimodules generated by a hyperfinite subfactor.
