Polyhedral representations of discrete differential manifolds

Any discrete differential manifold $M$ (finite set endowed with an algebraic differential calculus) can be represented by appropriate polyhedron ${\cal P}(M)$. This representation demonstrates the adequacy of the calculus of discrete differential manifolds and links this approach with that based on finitary substitutes of continuous spaces introduced by R.D.Sorkin.Comment: LaTeX, 35 Kb, submitted to JM

Husimi coordinates of multipartite separable states

A parametrization of multipartite separable states in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is suggested. It is proved to be a diffeomorphism between the set of zero-trace operators and the interior of the set of separable density operators. The result is applicable to any tensor product decomposition of the state space. An analytical criterion for separability of density operators is established in terms of the boundedness of a sequence of operators.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figure, LaTe
