Abstract

The concept of a \em weight on a planar algebra was introduced in \citeDGG. In this article we give an alternate characterization of weights on a planar algebra in terms of `weight functions' on the vertices of the principal graphs. Using this characterization we show that the property of bifinite bimodules of having a `trivial perturbation class' is closed under Connes fusion. We give a direct and constructive method of perturbing a bifinite bimodule by a positive weight in such a way that the bimodule planar algebra of the perturbed bimodule is isomorphic to the perturbation of the one associated to the initial bimodule by the given weight.
