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 relative commutant, that we call the spherical state; the minimal index is neither additive nor multiplicative (it is submultiplicative), contrary to the subfactor case. So we introduce a matrix dimension with the good functorial properties: it is always additive and multiplicative. The minimal index turns out to be the square of the norm of the matrix dimension, as was known in the multi-matrix inclusion case. In the second part, we show how our results are valid in a purely 2-$C^*$-categorical context, in particular they can be formulated in the framework of Connes bimodules over von Neumann algebras.
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 subfactor and look
Let $Vsubseteq A$ be a conformal inclusion of vertex operator algebras and let $mathcal{C}$ be a category of grading-restricted generalized $V$-modules that admits the vertex algebraic braided tensor category structure of Huang-Lepowsky-Zhang. We giv
We construct a new class of finite-dimensional C^*-quantum groupoids at roots of unity q=e^{ipi/ell}, with limit the discrete dual of the classical SU(N) for large orders. The representation category of our groupoid turns out to be tensor equivalent
We introduce a notion of Krein C*-module over a C*-algebra and more generally over a Krein C*-algebra. Some properties of Krein C*-modules and their categories are investigated.
Given a connected and locally compact Hausdorff space X with a good base K we assign, in a functorial way, a C(X)-algebra to any precosheaf of C*-algebras A defined over K. Afterwards we consider the representation theory and the Kasparov K-homology
