We introduce a new construction of $E_0$-semigroups, called generalized CCR flows, with two kinds of descriptions: those arising from sum systems and those arising from pairs of $C_0$-semigroups. We get a new necessary and sufficient…
Since quite a time there were available only two rather difficult and involved proofs, the original one by Arveson and a more recent one by Liebscher, of the fact that for every Arveson system there exists an E_0-semigroup. We put together…
In this paper we study modular extendability and equimodularity of endomorphisms and E$_0$-semigroups on factors with respect to f.n.s. weights. We show that modular extendability is a property that does not depend on the choice of weights,…
A general affine Markov semigroup is formulated as the convolution of a homogeneous one with a skew convolution semigroup. We provide some sufficient conditions for the regularities of the homogeneous affine semigroup and the skew…
Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold which admits an Anosov flow. In this paper we develop a technique for constructing partially hyperbolic representatives in many mapping classes of $M$. We apply this technique both in the setting of geodesic…
In this second article, we continue to study classes of groups constructed from a functorial method due to Vaughan Jones. A key observation of the author shows that these groups have remarkable diagrammatic properties that can be used to…
We give an account of the theory of $E_0$-semigroups. We first focus on Arveson's contributions to the field and related results. Then we present the recent development of type II and type III $E_0$-semigroups. We also include a short note…
A new infinitesimal characterization of completely positive but not necessarily homomorphic Markov flows from a C^*-algebra to bounded operators on the boson Fock space over L^2(R) is given. Contrarily to previous characterizations, based…
We initiate a study of E-semigroups over convex cones. We prove a structure theorem for E-semigroups which leave the algebra of compact operators invariant. Then we study in detail the CCR flows, E$_0$semigroups constructed from isometric…
In this work, we address ergodicity of smooth actions of finitely generated semi-groups on an m-dimensional closed manifold M. We provide sufficient conditions for such an action to be ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Our…
We investigate $E_0-$semigroups on general factors, which are not necessarily of type I, and analyse associated invariants like product systems, super product systems etc. By tensoring $E_0-$semigroups on type I factors with…
In this paper, we revisit Arveson's characterisation of CCR flows in terms of decomposibility of the product system in the multiparameter context. We show that a multiparameter $E_0$-semigroup is a CCR flow if and only if it is decomposable…
We obtain results on mixing for a large class of (not necessarily Markov) infinite measure semiflows and flows. Erickson proved, amongst other things, a strong renewal theorem in the corresponding i.i.d. setting. Using operator renewal…
Product systems are the classifying structures for semigroups of endomorphisms of B(H), in that two $E_0$-semigroups are cocycle conjugate iff their product systems are isomorphic. Thus it is important to know that every abstract product…
We give three examples of second-order elliptic operators with nonlocal boundary conditions of the Ventsel type that admit a closure in the space of continuous functions, but do not generate a Feller semigroup (i.e., a strongly continuous…
We define a class of not necessarily linear $C_0$-semigroups $(P_t)_{t\geq0}$ on $C_b(E)$ (more generally, on $C_\kappa(E):=\frac1\kappa C_b(E)$, for some bounded function $\kappa$, which is the pointwise limit of a decreasing sequence of…
The deterministic analog of the Markov property of a time-homogeneous Markov process is the semigroup property of solutions of an autonomous differential equation. The semigroup property arises naturally when the solutions of a differential…
We consider the class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on a closed 3-manifold with quasi-isometric center. Under the non-wandering condition, we prove that the diffeomorphisms are accessible if there is no $su$-torus. As a…
This paper studies the class of automaton semigroups from two perspectives: closure under constructions, and examples of semigroups that are not automaton semigroups. We prove that (semigroup) free products of finite semigroups always arise…
We study quantum Dirichlet forms and the associated symmetric quantum Markov semigroups on noncommutative $L^2$ spaces. It is known from the work of Cipriani and Sauvageot that these semigroups induce a first order differential calculus,…
