The aim of this work is to develop the variational approach to the Dirichlet problem for generators of sub-Markovian semigroups on C*-algebras. KMS symmetry and the KMS condition allow the introduction of the notion of weak solution of the Dirichlet problem. We will then show that a unique weak solution always exists and that a generalized maximum principle holds true.
In this survey article we describe how the recent work in quantization in multi-variable complex geometry (domains of holomorphy, symmetric domains, tube domains, etc.) leads to interesting results and problems in C*-algebras which can be viewed as examples of the "non-commutative geometry" in the sense of A. Connes. At the same time, one obtains new functional calculi (of pseudodifferential type) with possible applications to partial differential equations and group representations.
A (smooth) dynamical system with transformation group ⁿ is a triple (A,ⁿ,α), consisting of a unital locally convex algebra A, the n-torus ⁿ and a group homomorphism α: ⁿ → Aut(A), which induces a (smooth) continuous action of ⁿ on A. In this paper we present a new, geometrically oriented approach to the noncommutative geometry of trivial principal ⁿ-bundles based on such dynamical systems, i.e., we call a dynamical system (A,ⁿ,α) a trivial noncommutative principal ⁿ-bundle if each isotypic component...
Connes and Moscovici recently studied "twisted" spectral triples (A,H,D) in which the commutators [D,a] are replaced by D∘a - σ(a)∘D, where σ is a second representation of A on H. The aim of this note is to point out that this yields representations of arbitrary covariant differential calculi over Hopf algebras in the sense of Woronowicz. For compact quantum groups, H can be completed to a Hilbert space and the calculus is given by bounded operators. At the end, we discuss an explicit example of...
