A planar algebraic description of conditional expectations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathcalNsubsetmathcalM be a unital inclusion of arbitrary von Neumann algebras. We give a 2-{C∗}-categorical/planar algebraic description of normal faithful conditional expectations E:mathcalMomathcalNsubsetmathcalM with finite index and their duals E′:mathcalN′omathcalM′subsetmathcalN′ by means of the solutions of the conjugate equations for the inclusion morphism iota:mathcalNomathcalM and its conjugate morphism overlineiota:mathcalMomathcalN. In particular, the theory of index for conditional expectations admits a 2-{C∗}-categorical formulation in full generality. Moreover, we show that a pair (mathcalNsubsetmathcalM,E) as above can be described by a Q-system, and vice versa. These results are due to Longo in the subfactor/simple tensor unit case [Lon90, Thm. 5.2], [Lon94, Thm. 5.1].
