The Triangle Inequality and the Dual Gromov-Hausdorff Propinquity

he dual Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity is a generalization of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance to the class of Leibniz quantum compact metric spaces, designed to be well-behaved with respect to C*-algebraic structures. In this paper, we present a variant of the dual propinquity for which the triangle inequality is established without the recourse to the notion of journeys, or finite paths of tunnels. Since the triangle inequality has been a challenge to establish within the setting of Leibniz quantum compact metric spaces for quite some time, and since journeys can be a complicated tool, this new form of the dual propinquity is a significant theoretical and practical improvement. On the other hand, our new metric is equivalent to the dual propinquity, and thus inherits all its properties

Curved Noncommutative Tori as Leibniz Quantum Compact Metric Spaces

We prove that curved noncommutative tori, introduced by Dabrowski and Sitarz, are Leibniz quantum compact metric spaces and that they form a continuous family over the group of invertible matrices with entries in the commutant of the quantum tori in the regular representation, when this group is endowed with a natural length function.Comment: 16 Pages, v3: accepted in Journal of Math.

Symmetry in the Cuntz Algebra on two generators

We investigate the structure of the automorphism of $\mathcal{O}_{2}$ which exchanges the two canonical isometries. Our main observation is that the fixed point C*-subalgebra for this action is isomorphic to $\mathcal{O}_{2}$ and we detail the relationship between the crossed-product and fixed point subalgebra.Comment: 14 Pages.

Characterization of the Sequential Product on Quantum Effects

We present a characterization of the standard sequential product of quantum effects. The characterization is in term of algebraic, continuity and duality conditions that can be physically motivated.Comment: 11 pages. Accepted for publication in the Journal of Mathematical Physic

Quantum Locally Compact Metric Spaces

We introduce the notion of a quantum locally compact metric space, which is the noncommutative analogue of a locally compact metric space, and generalize to the nonunital setting the notion of quantum metric spaces introduced by Rieffel. We then provide several examples of such structures, including the Moyal plane, as well as compact quantum metric spaces and locally compact metric spaces. This paper provides an answer to the question raised in the literature about the proper notion of a quantum metric space in the nonunital setup and offers important insights into noncommutative geometry for non compact quantum spaces.Comment: 39 Pages.

A Survey of the Dual Gromov-Hausdorff Propinquity

We present a survey of the dual Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity, a noncommutative analogue of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance which we introduced to provide a framework for the study of the noncommutative metric properties of C*-algebras. We first review the notions of quantum locally compact metric spaces, and present various examples of such structures. We then explain the construction of the dual Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity, first in the context of quasiLeibniz quantum compact metric spaces, and then in the context of pointed proper quantum metric spaces. We include a few new result concerning perturbations of the metrics on Leibniz quantum compact metric spaces in relation with the dual Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity
