A functional calculus on the space of (generalized) connections was recently introduced without any reference to a background metric. It is used to continue the exploration of the quantum Riemannian geometry. Operators corresponding to…
This article explores an algebraic-recursive approach to construct differential operators that commute with a central operator $\hat{H}$ in quantum mechanics. Starting from the Schr\"odinger equation for a free particle, the work derives…
We construct the algebra of operators acting on the Hilbert spaces of Quantum Mechanics for systems of $N$ identical particles from the field operators acting in the Fock space of Quantum Field Theory by providing the explicit relation…
The present text surveys some relevant situations and results where basic Module Theory interacts with computational aspects of operator algebras. We tried to keep a balance between constructive and algebraic aspects.
We show how modal quantales arise as convolution algebras of functions from lr-multisemigroups that is, multisemigroups with a source map l and a target map r, into modal quantales which can be seen as weight or value algebras. In the…
Noncommutative or `quantum' differential geometry has emerged in recent years as a process for quantizing not only a classical space into a noncommutative algebra (as familiar in quantum mechanics) but also differential forms, bundles and…
We review recent progress in operator algebraic approach to conformal quantum field theory. Our emphasis is on use of representation theory in classification theory. This is based on a series of joint works with R. Longo.
In this paper, we will introduce Quantum Toric Varieties which are (non-commutative) generalizations of ordinary toric varieties where all the tori of the classical theory are replaced by quantum tori. Quantum toric geometry is the…
The non-relativistic quantum theory has been interpreted causally by de Broglie, David Bohm, and others, where a quantum entity is viewed as a particle with a definite position and momentum. This interpretation opposes the Copenhagen…
(This short article is a continuation of a longer, review work, in the same volume of Proceedings, by Ashtekar, Marolf and Mour\~ao [gr-qc/9403042]. All the details and other results are to be found in joint papers of the author with Abhay…
This paper reframes Riemannian geometry as a generalized Lie algebra allowing the equations of both RG and then General Relativity to be expressed as commutation relations among fundamental operators. We begin with an Abelian Lie algebra of…
Together with collaborators, we introduced a noncommutative Riemannian geometry over Moyal algebras and systematically developed it for noncommutative spaces embedded in higher dimensions in the last few years. The theory was applied to…
We initiate a mathematically rigorous study of Klein-Gordon position operators in single-particle relativistic quantum mechanics. Although not self-adjoint, these operators have real spectrum and enjoy a limited form of spectral…
We investigate some properties of geometric operators in canonical quantum gravity in the connection approach \`a la Ashtekar, which are associated with volume, area and length of spatial regions. We motivate the construction of analogous…
In analogy with conventional quantum mechanics, non-commutative quantum mechanics is formulated as a quantum system on the Hilbert space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting on non-commutative configuration space. It is argued that the…
Noncommutative near-group fusion categories were completely classified in the previous work of the first named author by using an operator algebraic method (and hence under the assumption of unitarity), and they were shown to be group…
Quantum relations in the sense of Weaver are $M'$-bimodules, for a von Neumann algebra $M$, these generalising actual relations on a set $X$ when $M=\ell^\infty(X)$. Similarly, relations between two sets can be generalised as bimodules over…
The mathematical formalism for linear quantum field theory on curved spacetime depends in an essential way on the assumption of global hyperbolicity. Physically, what lie at the foundation of any formalism for quantization in curved…
We introduce an approach to the categorification of rings, via the notion of distributive categories with negative objects, and use it to lay down categorical foundations for the study of super, quantum and non-commutative combinatorics.…
Let ${\cal S}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the set of all self-adjoint operators (not necessarily bounded) on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, which is the set of all physical quantities on a quantum system $\mathcal{H}$. We introduce a binary…
