category of H *-algebras

(Definition)

Definition 0.1.

The category of H ∗-algebras is defined as the category whose objects are H ∗-algebras and whose morphisms are *-homomorphisms between H ∗-algebras that commute with the antilinear involution ∗ : 𝔸H → 𝔸H.

Remark 0.1. The construction of H ∗-algebras is sometimes called ‘groupoidification’
