Manifolds of classical probability distributions and quantum density operators in infinite dimensions
Abstract
The manifold structure of subsets of classical probability distributions and quantum density operators in infinite dimensions is investigated in the context of -algebras and actions of Banach-Lie groups. Specificaly, classical probability distributions and quantum density operators may be both described as states (in the functional analytic sense) on a given -algebra which is Abelian for Classical states, and non-Abelian for Quantum states. In this contribution, the space of states of a possibly infinite-dimensional, unital -algebra is partitioned into the disjoint union of the orbits of an action of the group of invertible elements of . Then, we prove that the orbits through density operators on an infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space are smooth, homogeneous Banach manifolds of , and, when admits a faithful tracial state like it happens in the Classical case when we consider probability distributions with full support, we prove that the orbit through is a smooth, homogeneous Banach manifold for .
