In the commutative case $A = C(\\Omega)$, the objects of the extension category are interpreted as fiber bundles over $\\Omega$ of objects belonging to the initial category. It is shown that the Doplicher-Roberts algebra (DR-algebra in the following) associated to an object in the extension of a strict tensor $C^*$-category is a continuous field of DR-algebras coming from the initial one. In the case of the category of the hermitian vector bundles over $\\Omega$ the general result implies that the DR-algebra of a vector bundle is a continuous field of Cuntz algebras. Some applications to Pimsner $C^*$-algebras are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-11T14:33:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46L05", "14F05", "46M05" ], "keywords": [ "continuous field", "algebras arising", "hermitian vector bundles", "dr-algebra", "general result implies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 571864, "adsabs": "2001math......1099V" } } }
