Markov chains as Evans-Hudson diffusions in Fock space
Markovian processes on mutually commuting von Neumann algebras
The aim of this paper is to study markovianity for states on von Neumann algebras generated by the union of (not necessarily commutative) von Neumann subagebras which commute with each other. This study has been already begun in [2] using several a priori different notions of noncommutative markovianity. In this paper we assume to deal with the particular case of states which define odd stochastic couplings (as developed in [3]) for all couples of von Neumann algebras involved. In this situation...

Matrices induced by arithmetic functions, primes and groupoid actions of directed graphs
In this paper, we study groupoid actions acting on arithmetic functions. In particular, we are interested in the cases where groupoids are generated by directed graphs. By defining an injective map α from the graph groupoid G of a directed graph G to the algebra A of all arithmetic functions, we establish a corresponding subalgebra AG = C*[α(G)]︀ of A. We construct a suitable representation of AG, determined both by G and by an arbitrarily fixed prime p. And then based on this representation, we...
Measures on orthomodular vector space lattices
Metric Entropy of Homogeneous Spaces
For a precompact subset K of a metric space and ε > 0, the covering number N(K,ε) is defined as the smallest number of balls of radius ε whose union covers K. Knowledge of the metric entropy, i.e., the asymptotic behaviour of covering numbers for (families of) metric spaces is important in many areas of mathematics (geometry, functional analysis, probability, coding theory, to name a few). In this paper we give asymptotically correct estimates for covering numbers for a large class of homogeneous...
Monotone convolution semigroups
We study how a property of a monotone convolution semigroup changes with respect to the time parameter. Especially we focus on "time-independent properties": in the classical case, there are many properties of convolution semigroups (or Lévy processes) which are determined at an instant, and moreover, such properties are often characterized by the drift term and Lévy measure. In this paper we exhibit such properties of monotone convolution semigroups; an example is the concentration of the support...
Multiplicative functions on the lattice of non-crossing partitions and free convolution.
Multiplicative monotone convolutions
Recently, Bercovici has introduced multiplicative convolutions based on Muraki's monotone independence and shown that these convolution of probability measures correspond to the composition of some function of their Cauchy transforms. We provide a new proof of this fact based on the combinatorics of moments. We also give a new characterisation of the probability measures that can be embedded into continuous monotone convolution semigroups of probability measures on the unit circle and briefly discuss...
