We review the discovery of reflection positivity. We also explain a new geometric approach and proof of the reflection positivity property.
Approximate expressions for X-ray resonant and M\"ossbauer reflectivity in the total external reflection region are developed for the limiting cases of a semiinfinite mirror with a small resonant addition to the total susceptibility and for…
We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…
We give a mathematical construction of Euclidean quantum field theory on certain curved backgrounds. We focus on generalizing Osterwalder-Schrader quantization, as these methods have proved useful to establish estimates for interacting…
This paper aims at reviewing and analysing the method of reflections. The latter is an iterative procedure designed to linear boundary value problems set in multiply connected domains. Being based on a decomposition of the domain boundary,…
We extend the Granger-Johansen representation theorems for I(1) and I(2) vector autoregressive processes to accommodate processes that take values in an arbitrary complex separable Hilbert space. This more general setting is of central…
Reflection positivity (RP) is a property of Gibbs measures exhibited by a class of lattice spin systems that include the Ising, Potts and Heisenberg models. The RP property is useful because of its two basic consequences: infrared bound and…
The first representation theorem establishes a correspondence between positive, self-adjoint operators and closed, positive forms on Hilbert spaces. The aim of this paper is to show that some of the results remain true if the underlying…
This paper explicitly computes the transition densities of a spectrally negative stable process with index greater than one, reflected at its infimum. First we derive the forward equation using the theory of sun-dual semigroups. The…
We construct a Hunt process that can be described as an isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process reflected from the complement of a bounded open Lipschitz set. In fact, we introduce a new analytic method for concatenating Markov processes.…
In this note we characterize those unitary one-parameter groups U^c which admit euclidean realizations in the sense that they are obtained by the analytic continuation process corresponding to reflection positivity from a unitary…
We study CAT(kappa) spaces X admitting affine functions. We show that there exists a canonical isometric embedding X -> Y x H where H is a Hilbert space, such that every affine function f: X -> R factors as f'o p, where p is the projection…
Contrary to recent claims in the literature, a simple test for reflection positivite, which we call perturbative reflection positivity in the coincidence limit, is shown to be satisfied for nonlocal field theories. Particular attention is…
In this paper I discuss a formulation of relativistic few-particle scattering theory where the dynamical input is a collection of reflection-positive Euclidean covariant Green functions. This formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics…
We present decompositions of various positive kernels as integrals or sums of positive kernels. Within this framework we study the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces associated with the fractional and bi-fractional Brownian motions. As a…
Motivated by the notion of isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes confined, by reflections, to a bounded open Lipschitz set $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we study some related analytical objects. Thus, we construct the corresponding…
A simple condition is given that is sufficient to determine whether a measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to a Gau{\ss}ian measure on the space of distributions is reflection positive. It readily generalises conventional…
Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…
This note summarizes the steps to computing the best-fitting affine reflection that aligns two sets of corresponding points.
We look for algebraic certificates of positivity for functions which are not necessarily polynomial functions. Similar questions were examined earlier by Lasserre and Putinar and by Putinar. We explain how these results can be understood as…
