Morita equivalence for operator systems
Abstract
We define -equivalence for operator systems and show that it is identical to stable isomorphism. We define -contexts and bihomomorphism contexts and show that two operator systems are -equivalent if and only if they can be placed in a -context, equivalently, in a bihomomorphism context. We show that nuclearity for a variety of tensor products is an invariant for -equivalence and that function systems are -equivalent precisely when they are order isomorphic. We prove that -equivalent operator systems have equivalent categories of representations. As an application, we characterise -equivalence of graph operator systems in combinatorial terms. We examine a notion of Morita embedding for operator systems, showing that mutually -embeddable operator systems have orthogonally complemented -equivalent corners when represented in the double dual of their C*-envelopes.
