Endomorphisms of B(H). II. Finitely Correlated States on On

AbstractWe identify sets of conjugacy classes of ergodic endomorphisms of B(H) where H is a fixed separable Hilbert space. They correspond to certain equivalence classes of pure states on the Cuntz algebras Onwherenis the Powers index. These states, called finitely correlated states, and strongly asymptotically shift invariant states, are defined and characterized. The subsets of these states defining shifts will in general be identified in a later work, but here an interesting cross section for the conjugacy classes of shifts called diagonalizable shifts is introduced and studied

Wavelet representations and Fock space on positive matrices

We show that every biorthogonal wavelet determines a representation by operators on Hilbert space satisfying simple identities, which captures the established relationship between orthogonal wavelets and Cuntz-algebra representations in that special case. Each of these representations is shown to have tractable finite-dimensional co-invariant doubly-cyclic subspaces. Further, motivated by these representations, we introduce a general Fock-space Hilbert space construction which yields creation operators containing the Cuntz--Toeplitz isometries as a special case.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX ("amsart" document class), one EPS graphic file used for shading, accepted March 2002 for J.

Exactness of the Fock space representation of the q-commutation relations

We show that for all q in the interval (-1,1), the Fock representation of the q-commutation relations can be unitarily embedded into the Fock representation of the extended Cuntz algebra. In particular, this implies that the C*-algebra generated by the Fock representation of the q-commutation relations is exact. An immediate consequence is that the q-Gaussian von Neumann algebra is weakly exact for all q in the interval (-1,1).Comment: 20 page

Fourier bases and Fourier frames on self-affine measures

This paper gives a review of the recent progress in the study of Fourier bases and Fourier frames on self-affine measures. In particular, we emphasize the new matrix analysis approach for checking the completeness of a mutually orthogonal set. This method helps us settle down a long-standing conjecture that Hadamard triples generates self-affine spectral measures. It also gives us non-trivial examples of fractal measures with Fourier frames. Furthermore, a new avenue is open to investigate whether the Middle Third Cantor measure admits Fourier frames

Continuous Spectrum of Automorphism Groups and the Infraparticle Problem

This paper presents a general framework for a refined spectral analysis of a group of isometries acting on a Banach space, which extends the spectral theory of Arveson. The concept of continuous Arveson spectrum is introduced and the corresponding spectral subspace is defined. The absolutely continuous and singular-continuous parts of this spectrum are specified. Conditions are given, in terms of the transposed action of the group of isometries, which guarantee that the pure-point and continuous subspaces span the entire Banach space. In the case of a unitarily implemented group of automorphisms, acting on a $C^*$-algebra, relations between the continuous spectrum of the automorphisms and the spectrum of the implementing group of unitaries are found. The group of spacetime translation automorphisms in quantum field theory is analyzed in detail. In particular, it is shown that the structure of its continuous spectrum is relevant to the problem of existence of (infra-)particles in a given theory.Comment: 31 pages, LaTeX.

Localization criteria for Anderson models on locally finite graphs

We prove spectral and dynamical localization for Anderson models on locally finite graphs using the fractional moment method. Our theorems extend earlier results on localization for the Anderson model on \ZZ^d. We establish geometric assumptions for the underlying graph such that localization can be proven in the case of sufficiently large disorder
