Quantum ultrametrics on AF algebras and the Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity

Konrad Aguilar, Frédéric Latrémolière (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We construct quantum metric structures on unital AF algebras with a faithful tracial state, and prove that for such metrics, AF algebras are limits of their defining inductive sequences of finite-dimensional C*-algebras for the quantum propinquity. We then study the geometry, for the quantum propinquity, of three natural classes of AF algebras equipped with our quantum metrics: the UHF algebras, the Effrös-Shen AF algebras associated with continued fraction expansions of irrationals,...

Old and new results on Allan's GB*-algebras

Maria Fragoulopoulou, Atsushi Inoue, Klaus-Detlef Kürsten (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This is an expository paper on the importance and applications of GB*-algebras in the theory of unbounded operators, which is closely related to quantum field theory and quantum mechanics. After recalling the definition and the main examples of GB*-algebras we exhibit their most important properties. Then, through concrete examples we are led to a question concerning the structure of the completion of a given C*-algebra 𝓐₀[||·||₀], under a locally convex *-algebra topology τ, making...

Contractible quantum Arens-Michael algebras

Nina V. Volosova (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider quantum analogues of locally convex spaces in terms of the non-coordinate approach. We introduce the notions of a quantum Arens-Michael algebra and a quantum polynormed module, and also quantum versions of projectivity and contractibility. We prove that a quantum Arens-Michael algebra is contractible if and only if it is completely isomorphic to a Cartesian product of full matrix C*-algebras. Similar results in the framework of traditional (non-quantum) approach are established,...

Quantum B-algebras

Wolfgang Rump (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The concept of quantale was created in 1984 to develop a framework for non-commutative spaces and quantum mechanics with a view toward non-commutative logic. The logic of quantales and its algebraic semantics manifests itself in a class of partially ordered algebras with a pair of implicational operations recently introduced as quantum B-algebras. Implicational algebras like pseudo-effect algebras, generalized BL- or MV-algebras, partially ordered groups, pseudo-BCK algebras, residuated...

When is a quantum space not a group?

Piotr Mikołaj Sołtan (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We give a survey of techniques from quantum group theory which can be used to show that some quantum spaces (objects of the category dual to the category of C*-algebras) do not admit any quantum group structure. We also provide a number of examples which include some very well known quantum spaces. Our tools include several purely quantum group theoretical results as well as study of existence of characters and traces on C*-algebras describing the considered quantum spaces as well as...

Deformed commutators on comodule algebras over coquasitriangular Hopf algebras

Zhongwei Wang, Guoyin Zhang, Liangyun Zhang (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct quantum commutators on comodule algebras over coquasitriangular Hopf algebras, so that they are quantum group coinvariant and have the generalized antisymmetry and Leibniz properties. If the coquasitriangular Hopf algebra is additionally cotriangular, then the quantum commutators satisfy a generalized Jacobi identity, and turn the comodule algebra into a quantum Lie algebra. Moreover, we investigate the projective and injective dimensions of some Doi-Hopf modules over a...
