We consider operator-algebraic dynamical systems given by actions of the real line on unital $C^*$-algebras, and especially the equilibrium states (or KMS states) of such systems. We are particularly interested in systems built from the…
Several authors have recently been studying the equilibrium or KMS states on the Toeplitz algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. For graphs of rank one (that is, for ordinary directed graphs), there is a natural dynamics obtained by lifting…
We analyze the set of locally normal KMS states w.r.t. the translation group for a local conformal net A of von Neumann algebras on R. In this first part, we focus on completely rational net A. Our main result here states that, if A is…
The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…
We prove numerically and by dualities the existence of modulated, commensurate and incommensurate states of topological quantum matter in simple systems of parafermions, motivated by recent proposals for the realization of such systems in…
We characterize the conditions under which a translationally invariant matrix product state (MPS) is invariant under local transformations. This allows us to relate the symmetry group of a given state to the symmetry group of a simple…
A new condition, called "Local KMS Condition", characterizing states of a quantum field to which one can ascribe, at a given spacetime point, a temperature, is introduced in this article. It will be shown that the Local KMS Condition (LKMS…
For closed quantum systems, topological orders are understood through the equivalence classes of ground states of gapped local Hamiltonians. The generalization of this conceptual paradigm to open quantum systems, however, remains elusive,…
Given a self-similar $K$ set defined from an iterated function system $\Gamma=(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n)$ and a set of function $H=\{h_i:K\to\mathbb{R}\}_{i=1}^d$ satisfying suitable conditions, we define a generalized gauge action on…
Any two infinite-dimensional (separable) Hilbert spaces are unitarily isomorphic. The sets of all their self-adjoint operators are also therefore unitarily equivalent. Thus if all self-adjoint operators can be observed, and if there is no…
We introduce the notion of a self-similar action of a groupoid $G$ on a finite higher-rank graph. To these actions we associate a compactly aligned product system of Hilbert bimodules, and thereby obtain corresponding universal…
It is known that any locally faithful quantum Markov state (QMS) on one dimensional setting can be considered as a Gibbs state associated with Hamiltonian with commuting nearest-neighbor interactions. In our previous results, we have…
We study toposes satisfying De Morgan's law, in particular we give characterizations of geometric theories whose classifying topos is De Morgan, clarifying the link with the amalgamation property of the category of models of such theory. We…
Topological holography is a holographic principle that describes the generalized global symmetry of a local quantum system in terms of a topological order in one higher dimension. This framework separates the topological data from the local…
The so-called topos approach provides a radical reformulation of quantum theory. Structurally, quantum theory in the topos formulation is very similar to classical physics. There is a state object, analogous to the state space of a…
In this article, we introduce an interesting topology-like concept concerning groups (and with almost the same method it can be defined for other algebraic systems). Given an arbitrary group $G$, we define a {\em topo-system} on $G$ as a…
KMS states on $\mathbb{Z}_2$-crossed products of unital $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$ are characterized in terms of KMS states and twisted KMS functionals of $\mathcal{A}$. These functionals are shown to describe the extensions of KMS states…
Matrix Product States (MPS) are a particular type of one dimensional tensor network states, that have been applied to the study of numerous quantum many body problems. One of their key features is the possibility to describe and encode…
Let $\varphi:X\to X$ be a homeomorphism of a compact metric space $X$. For any continuous function $F:X\to \mathbb{R}$ there is a one-parameter group $\alpha^{F}$ of automorphisms on the crossed product $C^*$-algebra…
The aim of this paper is to relate algebraic quantum mechanics to topos theory, so as to construct new foundations for quantum logic and quantum spaces. Motivated by Bohr's idea that the empirical content of quantum physics is accessible…
