   Author: David_Corfield
   Format: MarkdownItexThere's a paper out characterising the category of continuous linear functions between Hilbert spaces * Chris Heunen, Andre Kornell, _Axioms for the category of Hilbert spaces_ ([arXiv:2109.07418](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07418)) But [[Hilb]] concerns short linear maps between Hilbert spaces. Should we have a page for the former category?

   Format: MarkdownItexIt seems clear that an entry titled "Hilb" must mention that there is more than one choice for the morphisms. Which I take as occasion to mention, again, that the author(s) of the related page *[[tensor product of Banach spaces]]* are still kindly requested to react to [this recent criticism](https://nforum.ncatlab.org/discussion/8560/tensor-product-of-banach-spaces/?Focus=94502#Comment_94502), grumpy as it may be.
