Completely positive inner products and strong Morita equivalence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a general framework for the study of strong Morita equivalence in which C∗algebras and hermitian star products on Poisson manifolds are treated in equal footing. We compare strong and ring-theoretic Morita equivalences in terms of their Picard groupoids for a certain class of unital ∗-algebras encompassing both examples. Within this class, we show that both notions of Morita equivalence induce the same equivalence relation but generally define different Picard groups. For star products, this difference is expressed geometrically in cohomological terms. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected]

Morita Equivalence of Twisted Crossed Products
We introduce a natural notion of strong Morita equivalence of twisted actions of a locally compact group on C*-algebras, and then show that the corresponding twisted crossed products are strongly Morita equivalent. This result is a generalization of the result of Curto, Muhly and Williams concerning strong Morita equivalence of crossed products by actions.
متن کاملThe H-Covariant Strong Picard Groupoid
The notion of H-covariant strong Morita equivalence is introduced for ∗-algebras over C = R(i) with an ordered ring R which are equipped with a ∗-action of a Hopf ∗-algebra H . This defines a corresponding H-covariant strong Picard groupoid which encodes the entire Morita theory. Dropping the positivity conditions one obtains H-covariant ∗-Morita equivalence with its H-covariant ∗-Picard groupo...
متن کاملStrong Morita Equivalence for Heisenberg C*-algebras and the Positive Cones of Their ^-groups
Introduction. In [14] we began a study of C*-algebras corresponding to projective representations of the discrete Heisenberg group, and classified these C*-algebras up to *-isomorphism. In this sequel to [14] we continue the study of these so-called Heisenberg C*-algebras, first concentrating our study on the strong Morita equivalence classes of these C*-algebras. We recall from [14] that a Hei...
متن کاملCrossed Products of Locally C-algebras and Morita Equivalence
We introduce the notion of strong Morita equivalence for group actions on locally C-algebras and prove that the crossed products associated with two strongly Morita equivalent continuous inverse limit actions of a locally compact group G on the locally C∗-algebras A and B are strongly Morita equivalent. This generalizes a result of F. Combes, Proc. London Math. Soc. 49(1984) and R. E. Curto, P....
متن کاملA Morita Theorem for Algebras of Operators on Hilbert Space
We show that two operator algebras are strongly Morita equivalent (in the sense of Blecher, Muhly and Paulsen) if and only if their categories of operator modules are equivalent via completely contractive functors. Moreover, any such functor is completely isometrically isomorphic to the Haagerup tensor product (= interior tensor product) with a strong Morita equivalence bimodule. Date: Septembe...
