Existence of two-sided Pimsner-Popa basis and subfactor planar algebra
Given an extremal subfactor $N\subset M$ with $[M:N]<\infty$, Vaughan Jones asked whether there exists a two-sided Pimsner-Popa basis- that is, whether there exists a set $\{\lambda_i: 1\leq i\leq ...

Subfactor and amplification
This post builds on the concepts discussed in Group factor, fundamental group and continuous trace-scaling action.
According to [MKS76, Theorem 2.10], a subgroup $\Gamma$ of finite index $k$ in the ...

Some fusion rings/categories I don't recognize
Recently (what I believe are) all multiplicity-free fusion categories up to rank 7 have been posted on the AnyonWiki. Most of the fusion rings belonging to these categories belong to one of the ...

Intersection of two intermediate subalgebras
Suppose $B\subset A$ is an inclusion of simple $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of (Watatani) index-finite type and $B^{\prime}\cap A=\mathbb{C}$. Then we know $B^{\prime}\cap A_1$ is ...

Inclusion of finite dimensional C*-algebras and relative commutants of subfactors
Given a subfactor $N\subset M$ with finite Jones index, the inclusion of relative commutants $N^{\prime}\cap M\subset N^{\prime}\cap M_1$ (here, $M_1$ is the basic construction of $N\subset M$) is a ...

Relation between factor condition on von Neumann algebras and modularity condition on ribbon fusion categories
A modular tensor category is defined to be a ribbon fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ in which the only objects which commute with all other objects are multiples of the identity. That is, if we denote by ...

Depth of the reduced subfactor
Suppose $N\subset M$ is a finite depth subfactor with $[M:N]<\infty$. Consider the reduced subfactor $pNp\subset pMp$ for some projection $p\in N$. How to calculate the depth of $pNp\subset pMp$ in ...

Backwards stable factors
A factor $R$ is called stable if $M_n(R)\cong R$ for all $n>0$. For the sake of this question, we call a factor backwards stable if $R\cong M_n(S)$ implies $S\cong R$ where $S$ is allowed to be any ...

Cyclic vectors and subfactor inlcusion
Let $N\subset M$ be a be factors acting on a Hilbert space $H$.
Denote by $\mathrm{Cyc}(A)\subset H$ the set of cyclic vectors for $A = M,N$.
I am interested in the equality case of the inclusion $\...

Watatani's theorem for tensor categories
We refer to [JS97] for the notion of subfactor. Yasuo Watatani proved the following result [W96, Theorem 2.2]:
Theorem: An irreducible finite index subfactor of a type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor has ...

DHR superselection and DR reconstruction in low spacetime dimensions
Given a completely rational net on $\mathbb{R}$, the Doplicher-Haag-Roberts (DHR) category is a modular fusion category (MFC) identical to that associated with the corresponding vertex operator ...

Unitary fusion category and subfactor
From a unitary fusion category $\mathcal{C}$, there are several ways to make a (hyperfinite II$_1$) subfactor.
By [Ha] there are weak Hopf algebras $H$ such that $\mathcal{C} = Rep(H)$. By unitarity (...

irreducible subfactor inclusion and commutativity of induced projections
Let $N\subset M$ be an irreducible subfactor inclusion, i.e., $N'\cap M =\mathbb C1$, acting on a Hilbert space $H$.
Let $\Omega\in H$.
Does it follow that the projections onto $[N\Omega]$ and $[M'\...

Commuting and generating subfactors of $ B(H)$
I have a question on subfactors of $B(H)$ (the von Neumann algebra of bounded operators on a complex Hilbert space).
Say I have a subfactor $M$ of $B(H)$. Is it true that another subfactor $N \subset ...
