Open full text 7 citations

Abstract

The category of Hilbert C*-modules over a given C*-algebra is shown to be equivalent to a certain simply described category of Hilbert bundles (i.e., continuous fields of Hilbert spaces) over the space of pure states of the C*-algebra with the zero functional adjoined.
