abstract

Bicommutant categories are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras that were recently introduced by the first author. In this article, we prove that every unitary fusion category gives an example of a bicommutant category. This theorem categorifies the well known result according to which a finite dimensional *-algebra that can be faithfully represented on a Hilbert space is in fact a von Neumann algebra.

The many faces of higher Hilbert spaces

math.QA · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Introduces G-Hermitian 2-vector spaces via fixed points of an O(2)-action on 2Vect and criteria for positive pairings to generalize the Hermitian-to-Hilbert passage, with an outline for inductive higher-dimensional versions.
