The notion of index for inclusions of von Neumann algebras goes back to a seminal work of Jones on subfactors of type ${I\!I}_1$. In the absence of a trace, one can still define the index of a conditional expectation associated to a…

We prove that finiteness of the index of the intersection of a finite set of finite index subalgebras in a von Neumann algebra (with small centre) is equivalent to the finite dimensionality of the algebra generated by the conditional…

Normal conditional expectations E: M --> N in M of finite index on von Neumann algebras M with discrete center are investigated to find an estimate for the minimal number of generators of M as a Hilbert N-module. Analyzing the case of M…

In this paper, we develop the theory of bimodules over von Neumann algebras, with an emphasis on categorical aspects. We clarify the relationship between dualizability and finite index. We also show that, for von Neumann algebras with…

Given an irreducible inclusion of infinite von-Neumann-algebras $\cn \subset \cm$ together with a conditional expectation $ E : \cm \rightarrow \cm $ such that the inclusion has depth 2, we show quite explicitely how $\cn $ can be viewed as…

For a conditional expectation E on a (unital) C*-algebra A there exists a real number K>=1 such that the mapping (K.E-id_A) is positive if and only if there exists a real number L>=1 such that the mapping (L.E-id_A) is completely positive,…

Let $\mathcal{N}\subset\mathcal{M}$ be a unital inclusion of arbitrary von Neumann algebras. We give a 2-{$C^*$}-categorical/planar algebraic description of normal faithful conditional expectations…

Analogous to subfactor theory, employing Watatani's notions of index and $C^*$-basic construction of certain inclusions of $C^*$-algebras, (a) we develop a Fourier theory (consisting of Fourier transforms, rotation maps and shift operators)…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ equipped with a faithful normal strictly semifinite weight $\varphi$, we develop a notion of Murray-von Neumann dimension over $(M,\varphi)$ that is defined for modules over the basic construction associated…

The article contains a detailed description of the connection between finite depth inclusions of $II_1$-subfactors and finite $C^*$-tensor categories (i.e. $C^*$-tensor categories with dimension function for which the number of equivalence…

A subfactor is an inclusion $N \subset M$ of von Neumann algebras with trivial centers. The simplest example comes from the fixed points of a group action $M^G \subset M$, and subfactors can be thought of as fixed points of more general…

Growing out of the initial connections between subfactors and knot theory that gave rise to the Jones polynomial, Jones' axiomatization of the standard invariant of an extremal finite index $II_1$ subfactor as a spherical $C^*$-planar…

We prove that every rigid C*-bicategory with finite-dimensional centers (finitely decomposable horizontal units) can be realized as Connes' bimodules over finite direct sums of II$_1$ factors. In particular, we realize every multitensor…

We apply the theory of finite dimensional weak C^*-Hopf algebras A as developed by G. B\"ohm, F. Nill and K. Szlach\'anyi to study reducible inclusion triples of von-Neumann algebras N \subset M \subset (M\cros\A). Here M is an A-module…

A C*-tensor category with simple unit object is realized by von Neumann algebra bimodules of finite Jones index if and only if it is rigid.

In this paper we put forward the definition of particular subsets on a unital C*-algebra, that we call isocones, and which reduce in the commutative case to the set of continuous non-decreasing functions with real values for a partial order…

A {\it W$^*$-representation} of a II$_1$ subfactor $N\subset M$ with finite Jones index, $[M:N]<\infty$, is a non-degenerate commuting square embedding of $N\subset M$ into an inclusion of atomic von Neumann algebras $\oplus_{i\in I} \Cal…

We introduce the notion of finite right (respectively left) numerical index on a bimodule $X$ over C*-algebras A and B with a bi-Hilbertian structure. This notion is based on a Pimsner-Popa type inequality. The right (respectively left)…

For a von Neumann algebra M on a Hilbert space, A. Connes has constructed a module S and a derivation of M into S, such that M is approximately finite dimensional if and only if that derivation is inner. The paper contains a generalization…

We prove that an inclusion $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{A}$ of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a finite-index conditional expectation is regular if and only if there exists a finite group $G$ that admits a cocycle action…
