Facial structures of separable and PPT states

Seung-Hyeok Kye (2011)

Banach Center Publications

A positive semi-definite block matrix (a state if it is normalized) is said to be separable if it is the sum of simple tensors of positive semi-definite matrices. A state is said to be entangled if it is not separable. It is very difficult to detect the border between separable and entangled states. The PPT (positive partial transpose) criterion tells us that the partial transpose of a separable state is again positive semi-definite, as was observed by M. D. Choi in 1982 from...

Factor representations of diffeomorphism groups

Robert P. Boyer (2003)

Studia Mathematica

We give a new construction of semifinite factor representations of the diffeomorphism group of euclidean space. These representations are in canonical correspondence with the finite factor representations of the inductive limit unitary group. Hence, many of these representations are given in terms of quasi-free representations of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. To establish this correspondence requires a generalization of complete positivity as developed in operator algebras....

Factoriality of von Neumann algebras connected with general commutation relations-finite dimensional case

Ilona Królak (2006)

Banach Center Publications

We study a certain class of von Neumann algebras generated by selfadjoint elements ω i = a i + a i , where a i , a i satisfy the general commutation relations: a i a j = r , s t j i r s a r a s + δ i j I d . We assume that the operator T for which the constants t j i r s are matrix coefficients satisfies the braid relation. Such algebras were investigated in [BSp] and [K] where the positivity of the Fock representation and factoriality in the case of infinite dimensional underlying space were shown. In this paper we prove that under certain conditions on the number of generators...

Factorization constraints and boundary conditions in rational CFT

Carl Stigner (2011)

Banach Center Publications

Among (conformal) quantum field theories, the rational conformal field theories are singled out by the fact that their correlators can be constructed from a modular tensor category 𝓒 with a distinguished object, a symmetric special Frobenius algebra A in 𝓒, via the so-called TFT-construction. These correlators satisfy in particular all factorization constraints, which involve gluing homomorphisms relating correlators of world sheets of different topology. We review the action...

Fermi Golden Rule, Feshbach Method and embedded point spectrum

Jan Dereziński (1998/1999)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

A method to study the embedded point spectrum of self-adjoint operators is described. The method combines the Mourre theory and the Limiting Absorption Principle with the Feshbach Projection Method. A more complete description of this method is contained in a joint paper with V. Jak s ˇ ić, where it is applied to a study of embedded point spectrum of Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonians.

Ferromagnetic integrals, correlations and maximum principles

Johannes Sjöstrand (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

For correlations of the form (0.2) we consider a critical case and prove power decay upper bounds in terms of the fundamental solution of a certain elliptic operator. This is achieved by improving the use of a maximum principle. We also formulate a general maximum principle and give two applications.

Feynman diagrams and the quantum stochastic calculus

John Gough (2006)

Banach Center Publications

We present quantum stochastic calculus in terms of diagrams taking weights in the algebra of observables of some quantum system. In particular, we note the absence of non-time-consecutive Goldstone diagrams. We review recent results in Markovian limits in these terms.
