Abstract
We show that if M and N are C*-algebras and if E (resp. F) is a C*-correspondence over M (resp. N), then a Morita equivalence between (E,M) and (F,N) implements an isometric functor between the categories of Hilbert modules over the tensor algebras of T+(E) and T+(F). We show that this functor maps absolutely continuous Hilbert modules to absolutely continuous Hilbert modules and provides a new interpretation of Popescu's reconstruction operator.
