On the Range of the Generator of a Markovian Semigroup.
We define the transient and recurrent parts of a quantum Markov semigroup 𝓣 on a von Neumann algebra 𝓐 and we show that, when 𝓐 is σ-finite, we can write 𝓣 as the sum of such semigroups. Moreover, if 𝓣 is the countable direct sum of irreducible semigroups each with a unique faithful normal invariant state ρₙ, we find conditions under which any normal invariant state is a convex combination of ρₙ's.
Quantum detailed balance conditions are often formulated as relationships between the generator of a quantum Markov semigroup and the generator of a dual semigroup with respect to a certain scalar product defined by an invariant state. In this paper we survey some results describing the structure of norm continuous quantum Markov semigroups on ℬ(h) satisfying a quantum detailed balance condition when the duality is defined by means of pre-scalar products on ℬ(h) of the form (s ∈ [0,1]) in order...
We show that a stochastic operator acting on the Banach lattice of all -integrable functions on is quasi-compact if and only if it is uniformly smoothing (see the definition below).
Equivalence of the spectral gap, exponential integrability of hitting times and Lyapunov conditions is well known. We give here the correspondence (with quantitative results) for reversible diffusion processes. As a consequence, we generalize results of Bobkov in the one dimensional case on the value of the Poincaré constant for log-concave measures to superlinear potentials. Finally, we study various functional inequalities under different hitting times integrability conditions (polynomial,…)....
We develop potential-theoretical methods in the construction of measure-valued branching processes.We complete results of P. J. Fitzsimmons and E. B. Dynkin on the construction, regularity and other properties of the superprocess associated with a given right process and a branching mechanism.
One way to represent the generator of a Markov process is given by pseudo differential operators. Above all this is due to the fact that the generator satisfies the so-called positive maximum principle (...).
We classify generators of quantum Markov semigroups on (h), with h finite-dimensional and with a faithful normal invariant state ρ satisfying the standard quantum detailed balance condition with an anti-unitary time reversal θ commuting with ρ, namely for all x,y ∈ and t ≥ 0. Our results also show that it is possible to find a standard form for the operators in the Lindblad representation of the generators extending the standard form of generators of quantum Markov semigroups satisfying the usual...
Des semi-groupes de Feller locaux, deux à deux compatibles et définis sur des ouverts recouvrant un espace compact , se recollent en un semi-groupe de Feller local unique défini sur . Le principe du maximum joue un rôle essentiel dans la démonstration de ce résultat. Un théorème de recollement des générateurs infinitésimaux s’en déduit.
