Twisted quantum doubles.
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...
Summary: We describe explicitly the kernels of higher spin twistor operators on standard even dimensional Euclidean space , standard even dimensional sphere , and standard even dimensional hyperbolic space , using realizations of invariant differential operators inside spinor valued differential forms. The kernels are finite dimensional vector spaces (of the same cardinality) generated by spinor valued polynomials on .
We review recent results about the derivation and the analysis of two Hartree-Fock-type models for the polarization of vacuum. We pay particular attention to the variational construction of a self-consistent polarized vacuum, and to the physical agreement between our non-perturbative construction and the perturbative description provided by Quantum Electrodynamics.
In 1992, Speicher showed the fundamental fact that the probability measures playing the role of the classical Gaussian in the various non-commutative probability theories (viz. fermionic probability, Voiculescu’s free probability, and -deformed probability of Bożejko and Speicher) all arise as the limits in a generalized Central Limit Theorem. The latter concerns sequences of non-commutative random variables (elements of a -algebra equipped with a state) drawn from an ensemble of pair-wise commuting...
