    Functional Representations for Fock Superalgebras

    Get PDF
    The Fock space of bosons and fermions and its underlying superalgebra are represented by algebras of functions on a superspace. We define Gaussian integration on infinite dimensional superspaces, and construct superanalogs of the classical function spaces with a reproducing kernel -- including the Bargmann-Fock representation -- and of the Wiener-Segal representation. The latter representation requires the investigation of Wick ordering on Z2-graded algebras. As application we derive a Mehler formula for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the Fock space.Comment: 33 pages, Late

    Feynman formulae and phase space Feynman path integrals for tau-quantization of some L\'evy-Khintchine type Hamilton functions

    Full text link
    This note is devoted to representation of some evolution semigroups. The semigroups are generated by pseudo-differential operators, which are obtained by different (parametrized by a number τ\tau) procedures of quantization from a certain class of functions (or symbols) defined on the phase space. This class contains functions which are second order polynomials with respect to the momentum variable and also some other functions. The considered semigroups are represented as limits of nn-fold iterated integrals when nn tends to infinity (such representations are called Feynman formulae). Some of these representations are constructed with the help of another pseudo-differential operators, obtained by the same procedure of quantization (such representations are called Hamiltonian Feynman formulae). Some representations are based on integral operators with elementary kernels (these ones are called Lagrangian Feynman formulae and are suitable for computations). A family of phase space Feynman pseudomeasures corresponding to different procedures of quantization is introduced. The considered evolution semigroups are represented also as phase space Feynman path integrals with respect to these Feynman pseudomeasures. The obtained Lagrangian Feynman formulae allow to calculate these phase space Feynman path integrals and to connect them with some functional integrals with respect to probability measures

    Applications of transformations of Feynman path integrals and Feynman pseudomeasures to explain arising quantum anomalies are considered. A contradiction in the literature is also explained

    States of quantum systems and their liftings

    Full text link
    Let H(1), H(2) be complex Hilbert spaces, H be their Hilbert tensor product and let tr2 be the operator of taking the partial trace of trace class operators in H with respect to the space H(2). The operation tr2 maps states in H (i.e. positive trace class operators in H with trace equal to one) into states in H(1). In this paper we give the full description of mappings that are linear right inverse to tr2. More precisely, we prove that any affine mapping F(W) of the convex set of states in H(1) into the states in H that is right inverse to tr2 is given by the tensor product of W with some state D in H(2). In addition we investigate a representation of the quantum mechanical state space by probability measures on the set of pure states and a representation -- used in the theory of stochastic Schroedinger equations -- by probability measures on the Hilbert space. We prove that there are no affine mappings from the state space of quantum mechanics into these spaces of probability measures.Comment: 14 page

    A descriptive characterization of point, continuous, and residual spectra of operators acting on a separable Hilbert space is obtained. The possible point spectra of bounded linear operators acting on lp, 1 < p < ∞ are characterized.Ministerio de Ciencia y TecnologíaJunta de Andalucí

    Noether’s theorem for dissipative quantum dynamical semi-groups

    Get PDF
    Noether's Theorem on constants of the motion of dynamical systems has recently been extended to classical dissipative systems (Markovian semi-groups) by Baez and Fong. We show how to extend these results to the fully quantum setting of quantum Markov dynamics. For finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, we construct a mapping from observables to CP maps that leads to the natural analogue of their criterion of commutativity with the infinitesimal generator of the Markov dynamics. Using standard results on the relaxation of states to equilibrium under quantum dynamical semi-groups, we are able to characterise the constants of the motion under quantum Markov evolutions in the infinite-dimensional setting under the usual assumption of existence of a stationary strictly positive density matrix. In particular, the Noether constants are identified with the fixed point of the Heisenberg picture semigroup.Comment: 8 pages, no figure

    Differentiability of measures and a Malliavin-Stroock Theorem

    Get PDF
    We compare different notions of differentiability of a measure along a vector field on a locally convex space. We consider in the L2L^2-space of a differentiable measure the analoga of the classical concepts of gradient, divergence and Laplacian (which coincides with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in the Gaussian case). We use these operators for the extension of the basic results of Malliavin and Stroock on the smoothness of finite dimensional image measures under certain nonsmooth mappings to the case of non-Gaussian measures. The proof of this extension is quite direct and does not use any Chaos-decomposition. Finally, the role of this Laplacian in the procedure of quantization of anharmonic oscillators is discussed

    Hilbert Norms For Graded Algebras

    Get PDF
    This paper presents a solution to a problem from superanalysis about the existence of Hilbert-Banach superalgebras. Two main results are derived: 1) There exist Hilbert norms on some graded algebras (infinite-dimensional superalgebras included) with respect to which the multiplication is continuous. 2) Such norms cannot be chosen to be submultiplicative and equal to one on the unit of the algebra.
