Toward a non-commutative Gelfand duality: Boolean locally separated toposes and Monoidal monotone complete C∗C^{*}-categories

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

** Draft Version ** To any boolean topos one can associate its category of internal Hilbert spaces, and if the topos is locally separated one can consider a full subcategory of square integrable Hilbert spaces. In both case it is a symmetric monoidal monotone complete C∗C^{*}-category. We will prove that any boolean locally separated topos can be reconstructed as the classifying topos of "non-degenerate" monoidal normal ∗*-representations of both its category of internal Hilbert spaces and its category of square integrable Hilbert spaces. This suggest a possible extension of the usual Gelfand duality between a class of toposes (or more generally localic stacks or localic groupoids) and a class of symmetric monoidal C∗C^{*}-categories yet to be discovered.
