Abstract:

In this paper we introduce the notion of Hilbert ${\mathrm {C}}^{*}$-bimodules, replacing the associativity condition of two-sided inner products in Rieffel’s imprimitivity bimodules by a Pimsner-Popa type inequality. We prove Schur’s Lemma and Frobenius reciprocity in this setting. We define minimality of Hilbert ${\mathrm {C}}^{*}$-bimodules and show that tensor products of minimal bimodules are also minimal. For an $A$-$A$ bimodule which is compatible with a trace on a unital ${\mathrm {C}}^{*}$-algebra $A$, its dimension (square root of Jones index) depends only on its $KK$-class. Finally, we show that the dimension map transforms the Kasparov products in $KK(A,A)$ to the product of positive real numbers, and determine the subring of $KK(A,A)$ generated by the Hilbert ${\mathrm {C}}^{*}$-bimodules for a ${\mathrm {C}}^{*}$-algebra generated by Jones projections.
