Prior to this characterization, we prove the existence of two-sided and unitary quasi-bases for the minimal conditional expectation of any such inclusion, and also show that such an inclusion has integer Watatani index and depth at most $2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-10T12:18:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple unital", "regular inclusions", "integer watatani index", "minimal conditional expectation", "finite-index conditional expectation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
