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)…

We discuss a number of general constructions concerning additive $ C^* $-categories, focussing in particular on establishing the existence of bicolimits. As an illustration of our results we show that balanced tensor products of module…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

We study the general structure of 2-C*-categories closed under conjugation, projections and direct sums. We do not assume units to be simple, i.e. for i_A the 1-unit corresponding to an object A, the space Hom(i_A, i_A) is a commutative…

We categorify cocompleteness results of monad theory, in the context of pseudomonads. We first prove a general result establishing that, in any 2-category, weighted bicolimits can be constructed from oplax bicolimits and bicoequalizers of…

We define a notion of tensor product of bimodule categories and prove that with this product the 2-category of C-bimodule categories for fixed tensor C is a monoidal 2-category in the sense of Kapranov and Voevodsky. We then provide a…

Enveloping $C^*$-algebras for some finitely generated $*$-algebras are considered. It is shown that all of the considered algebras are identically defined by their dual spaces. The description in terms of matrix-functions is given. Keywords…

We construct discrete groups $G$ with infinite center that are nevertheless W*-superrigid, meaning that the group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ fully remembers the group $G$. We obtain these rigidity results both up to isomorphisms and up to…

Rigid monoidal 1-categories are ubiquitous throughout quantum algebra and low-dimensional topology. We study a generalization of this notion, namely rigid algebras in an arbitrary monoidal 2-category. Examples of rigid algebras include…

We develop an analog of Jones' planar calculus for II_1-factor bimodules with arbitrary left and right von Neumann dimension. We generalize to bimodules Burns' results on rotations and extremality for infinite index subfactors. These…

We develop a 2-dimensional version of accessibility and presentability compatible with the formalism of flat pseudofunctors. First we give prerequisites on the different notions of 2-dimensional colimits, filteredness and cofinality; in…

Categories of W*-bimodules are shown in an explicit and algebraic way to constitute an involutive W*-bicategory.

We start with observing that the only connected finite dimensional algebras with finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable bimodules are the quotients of the path algebras of uniformly oriented $A_n$-quivers modulo the radical…

We interpret several constructions with C*-algebras as colimits in the bicategory of correspondences. This includes crossed products for actions of groups and crossed modules, Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of proper product systems, direct sums…

In the first part of this paper, we give a new look at inclusions of von Neumann algebras with finite-dimensional centers and finite Jones' index. The minimal conditional expectation is characterized by means of a canonical state on the…

In this paper, we study bimodules over a von Neumann algebra $M$ in two related contexts. The first is an inclusion $M \subseteq M \rtimes_\alpha G$, where $G$ is a discrete group acting on a factor $M$ by outer automorphisms. The second is…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We are going to consider full subcategories of $\mod\Lambda$ closed under finite direct sums and under submodules with infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable modules. The main result asserts…

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…

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…

In our article [arXiv:1511.05226], we studied the commutant $\mathcal{C}'\subset \operatorname{Bim}(R)$ of a unitary fusion category $\mathcal{C}$, where $R$ is a hyperfinite factor of type $\rm II_1$, $\rm II_\infty$, or $\rm III_1$, and…
