Finitary birepresentations of finitary bicategories (Q2121277)

This paper aims to discuss the generalization of some important foundational results on finitary 2-representation theory to finitary birepresentation theory. The authors discuss the generalization of finitary 2-representation theory of finitary 2-categories to finitary birepresentation theory of finitary bicategories. In previous papers on the subject, the classification of simple transitive 2-representations of a given 2-category was reduced to that for certain subquotients. These reduction results were all formulated as bijections between equivalence classes of 2-representations. In this paper, they generalize them to biequivalences between certain 2-categories of birepresentations.They also prove the double centralizer theorem for simple transitive birepresentationsof fiab bicategories.
