Realization of rigid C*-bicategories as bimodules over type II1 von Neumann algebras
Abstract
We prove that every rigid C*-bicategory with finite-dimensional centers (finitely decomposable horizontal units) can be realized as Connes' bimodules over finite direct sums of II1 factors. In particular, we realize every multitensor C*-category as bimodules over a finite direct sum of II1 factors.
