We develop the theory of the higher commutator for Taylor varieties. A new higher commutator operation called the hypercommutator is defined using a type of invariant relation called a higher dimensional congruence. The hypercommutator is…

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space and let $Q:X^*\rightarrow X$ be a linear, bounded, non-negative and symmetric operator and let $A:D(A)\subseteq X\rightarrow X$ be the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup of…

In this paper we establish a rigidity property of holomorphic generators by using their local behavior at a boundary point $\tau$ of the open unit disk $\Delta$. Namely, if $f\in\mathrm{Hol}(\Delta,\mathbb{C})$ is the generator of a…

We generalize the concepts of weak quantum logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) and weak hypercontractivity (HC), introduced in the quantum setting by Olkiewicz and Zegarlinski, to the case of non-primitive quantum Markov semigroups (QMS).…

Extending a work of Carlen and Lieb, Biane has obtained the optimal hypercontractivity of the $q$-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the $q$-deformation of the free group algebra. In this note, we look for an extension of this result to the…

This paper provides sharp lower estimates near the origin for the functional calculus $F(-uA)$ of a generator $A$ of an operator semigroup defined on the (strictly) positive real line; here $F$ is given as the Laplace transform of a measure…

A contraction semigroup T on a Hilbert space H and its cogenerator S define an algebra, the limit algebra - which determines the structure of the subspace of weakly Poisson recurrent vectors and gives a necessary and sufficient condition…

Let $P(h),h\in]0,1]$ be a semiclassical scalar differential operator of order $2$. The existence of a supersymmetric structure given by a matrix $G(x;h)$ was exhibited in \cite{HeHiSj13} under rather general assumptions. In this note we…

We show that the generator of a GNS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroup can be written as the square of a derivation. This generalizes a result of Cipriani and Sauvageot for tracially symmetric semigroups. Compared to the tracially symmetric…

Nahm's conjecture relates $q$-hypergeometric modular functions to torsion elements in the Bloch group. An interesting class of such functions can be (conjecturally) obtained from a pair $(X,X')$ of diagrams, each of which is either a Dynkin…

We apply a method developed by one of the authors, see \cite{Arl1}, to localize the numerical range of \textit{quasi-sectorial} contractions semigroups. Our main theorem establishes a relation between the numerical range of quasi-sectorial…

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra such that uA = {0} for u $\in$ A \ {0} which possesses dense principal ideals. The purpose of the paper is to give a general framework to define F (--$\lambda$1$\Delta$T 1 ,. .. , --$\lambda$ k…

Under suitable conditions, we obtain some characterization of supercontractivity, ultraboundedness and ultracontractivity of the evolution operator $G(t,s)$ associated to a class of nonautonomous second order parabolic equations with…

In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…

We study the notion of reverse hypercontractivity. We show that reverse hypercontractive inequalities are implied by standard hypercontractive inequalities as well as by the modified log-Sobolev inequality. Our proof is based on a new…

As a generalization to the heat semigroup on the Heisenberg group, the diffusion semigroup generated by the subelliptic operator $L:=\ff 1 2 \sum_{i=1}^m X_i^2$ on $\R^{m+d}:= \R^m\times\R^d$ is investigated, where $$X_i(x,y)= \sum_{k=1}^m…

We consider quantum supergroups that arise in non-anticommutative deformations of N=(1/2,1/2) and N=(1,1) four-dimensional Euclidean supersymmetric theories. Twist operators in the corresponding deformed algebras of superfields contain left…

Under suitable conditions on a family $(I(t))_{t\ge 0}$ of Lipschitz mappings on a complete metric space, we show that up to a subsequence the strong limit $S(t):=\lim_{n\to\infty}(I(t 2^{-n}))^{2^n}$ exists for all dyadic time points $t$,…

We study groups $G$ where the $\varphi$-conjugacy class $[e]_{\varphi}=\{g^{-1}\varphi(g)~|~g\in G\}$ of the unit element is a subgroup of $G$ for every automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$. If $G$ has $n$ generators, then we prove that the $k$-th…

We construct a duality manifest gravitational theory for the special linear group, ${\mathbf{SL}(N)}$ with $N{\neq 4}$. The spacetime is formally extended, to have the dimension $\textstyle{\frac{1}{2}} N(N-1)$, yet is `gauged'.…
