A simple construction is given of a class of Euclidean invariant, reflection positive measures on a compactification of the space of distributions. An unusual feature is that the regularizations used are not reflection positive.
A Euclidean formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics for systems of a finite number of degrees of freedom is discussed. Relativistic treatments of quantum theory are needed to study hadronic systems at sub-hadronic distance scales.…
This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…
Dynamical systems whose linearizations along trajectories are positive in the sense that they infinitesimally contract a smooth cone field are called differentially positive. The property can be thought of as a generalization of…
We propose a new method of constructing the quantum Griffiths inequality. From a viewpoint of operator inequalities, we first study the quantum rotor model. This viewpoint clarifies important connections between the reflection positivity…
Standard subspaces are a well-studied object in algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT). Given a standard subspace ${\tt V}$ of a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, one is interested in unitary one-parameter groups on $\mathcal{H}$ with $U_t {\tt…
Steinberg showed that when a finite reflection group acts on a real or complex vector space of finite dimension, the Jacobian determinant of a set of basic invariants factors into linear forms which define the reflecting hyperplanes. This…
Relativistic invariance in Euclidean formulations of quantum mechanics is discussed. Relativistic treatments of quantum theory are needed to study hadronic systems at sub-hadronic distance scales. Euclidean formulations of relativistic…
We discuss preliminary work on a formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics that uses reflection-positive Euclidean Green functions or their generating functionals as phenomenological input. We discuss the construction of a Poincare…
Chevalley's theorem and it's converse, the Sheppard-Todd theorem, assert that finite reflection groups are distinguished by the fact that the ring of invariant polynomials is freely generated. We show that in the Euclidean case, a weaker…
We consider the following class of unitary representations $\pi $ of some (real) Lie group $G$ which has a matched pair of symmetries described as follows: (i) Suppose $G$ has a period-2 automorphism $\tau $, and that the Hilbert space…
Though the irreducible representations of the Poincare' group form the groundwork for the formulation of relativistic quantum theories of a particle, robust classes of such representations are missed in current formulations of these…
An idea to present a classical Lie group of positive dimension by generators and relations sounds dubious, but happens to be fruitful. The isometry groups of classical geometries admit elegant and useful presentations by generators and…
We describe the general structure of unbounded derivations in the quantum cylinder. We prove a noncommutative analog of reflection positivity for Laplace-type operators in a noncommutative cylinder following the ideas of Jaffe and Ritter…
We present a unitary approach to the construction of representations and intertwining operators. We apply it to the $C^*$-algebras, groups, Gabor type unitary systems and wavelets. We give an application of our method to the theory of…
We investigate deformations of skew group algebras arising from the action of the symmetric group on polynomial rings over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Over the real or complex numbers, Lusztig's graded affine Hecke algebra and…
This thesis is dedicated to developing a dilation theory for semigroups of completely positive maps. The first part treats two-parameter semigroups, and contains also contributions to dilation theory of product system representations. The…
The inclusion of higher derivatives is a necessary condition for a renormalizable or superrenormalizable local theory of quantum gravity. On the other hand, higher derivatives lead to classical instabilities and a loss of unitarity at the…
We construct a special principal series representation for the modular double $U_{q\tilde{q}}(g_R)$ of type $A_r$ representing the generators by positive essentially self-adjoint operators satisfying the transcendental relations that also…
The group algebra of the permutation group is spanned by a set of elements called projectors. The coordinates of permutations expanded in projectors are matrix elements of irreducible representations. The projectors of the permutation group…
