abstract

We study $\mathrm{W}^*$-categories, and explain the ways in which complete $\mathrm{W}^*$-categories behave like categorified Hilbert spaces. Every $\mathrm{W}^*$-category $C$ admits a canonical categorified inner product $\langle\,\,,\,\rangle_{\mathrm{Hilb}}\,:\,\overline C\times C\,\to\, \mathrm{Hilb}$. Moreover, if $C$ and $D$ are complete $\mathrm{W}^*$-categories there is an antilinear equivalence $$\dagger:\mathrm{Func}(C,D) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{Func}(D,C)$$ characterised by $\langle c,F^\dagger(d)\rangle_{\mathrm{Hilb}} \simeq \langle F(c),d\rangle_{\mathrm{Hilb}}$, for $c\in C$ and $d \in D$.

  1. Holography for bulk-boundary local topological order

    math-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For topological boundaries in Levin-Wen and Walker-Wang models, the boundary algebra's DHR bimodule category recovers the boundary topological order, and for Walker-Wang it is the enriched center Z_B(X).

  2. Orthonormal bases for higher Hilbert spaces

    math.QA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For finite-dimensional 3-Hilbert spaces, orthonormal bases exist uniquely up to contractible choice, and the Yoneda embedding into the presheaf 3-Hilbert space is an isometric equivalence.

  3. The crossed braided tensor category of twisted and untwisted representations of the Heisenberg conformal net

    math.QA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The twisted/untwisted representation category of the Heisenberg conformal net is the continuous Tambara-Yamagami category TY(R, chi_-, +1), whose Z/2-equivariantization describes representations of the fixed-point net.
