Range of a contractive strongly positive projection in a C*-algebra

Andrzej Łuczak (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We generalize a result of Choi and Effros on the range of a contractive completely positive projection in a C*-algebra to the case when this projection is only strongly positive using, moreover, an elementary argument instead of a 2×2-matrix technique.

Range tripotents and order in JBW*-triples

Lina Oliveira (2010)

Banach Center Publications

In a JBW*-triple, i.e., a symmetric complex Banach space possessing a predual, the set of tripotents is naturally endowed with a partial order relation. This work is mainly concerned with this partial order relation when restricted to the subset 𝓡(A) of tripotents in a JBW*-triple B formed by the range tripotents of the elements of a JB*-subtriple A of B. The aim is to present recent developments obtained for the poset 𝓡(A) of the range tripotents relative to A, whilst also providing the necessary...

Real Interpolation between Row and Column Spaces

Gilles Pisier (2011)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We give an equivalent expression for the K-functional associated to the pair of operator spaces (R,C) formed by the rows and columns respectively. This yields a description of the real interpolation spaces for the pair (Mₙ(R),Mₙ(C)) (uniformly over n). More generally, the same result is valid when Mₙ (or B(ℓ₂)) is replaced by any semi-finite von Neumann algebra. We prove a version of the non-commutative Khintchine inequalities (originally due to Lust-Piquard) that is valid for the Lorentz spaces...

Reduced and extended weak coupling limit

Jan Dereziński, Wojciech De Roeck (2007)

Banach Center Publications

The main aim of our lectures is to give a pedagogical introduction to various mathematical formalisms used to describe open quantum systems: completely positive semigroups, dilations of semigroups, quantum Langevin dynamics and the so-called Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonians. We explain two kinds of the weak coupling limit. Both of them show that Hamiltonian dynamics of a small quantum system interacting with a large resevoir can be approximated by simpler dynamics. The better known reduced weak coupling...
