We present a proof that quantum Yang-Mills theory can be consistently defined as a renormalized, perturbative quantum field theory on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved, Lorentzian spacetime. To this end, we construct the…
Motivated by the sharp contrast between classical and quantum physics as probability theories, in these lecture notes I introduce the basic notions of operator algebras that are relevant for the algebraic approach to quantum physics.…
We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…
The aim of this paper is to define and study the involutive and weakly involutive quantum B-algebras. We prove that any weakly involutive quantum B-algebra is a quantum B-algebra with pseudo-product. As an application, we introduce and…
The notion of a KU-valued function on a set is introduced and related properties are investigated. Codes generated by KU-valued functions are established. Moreover, we will provide an algorithm which allows us to find a KU-algebra starting…
This is Leonid Vaksman's monograph "Quantum bounded symmetric domains" (in Russian), preceded with an English translation of the table of contents and (a part) of the introduction. Quantum bounded symmetric domains are interesting from…
Dynamical quantum groups were introduced by Etingof and Varchenko in connection with the dynamical quantum Yang-Baxter equation, and measured quantum groupoids were introduced by Enock, Lesieur and Vallin in their study of inclusions of…
Generalizing the notion of a multiplicative unitary (in the sense of Baaj-Skandalis), which plays a fundamental role in the theory of locally compact quantum groups, we develop in this paper the notion of a multiplicative partial isometry.…
The equivariant coarse index is well-understood and widely used for actions by discrete groups. We extend the definition of this index to general locally compact groups. We use a suitable notion of admissible modules over $C^*$-algebras of…
By weakening the counit and antipode axioms of a C*-Hopf algebra and allowing for the coassociative coproduct to be non-unital we obtain a quantum group, that we call a weak C*-Hopf algebra, which is sufficiently general to describe the…
We prove index formulas for elliptic operators acting between sections of C*-vector bundles on a closed manifold. The formulas involve Karoubi's Chern character from K-theory of a C*-algebra to de Rham homology of smooth subalgebras. We…
In this paper, we collect some technical results about weights on C*-algebras which are useful in de theory of locally compact quantum groups in the C*-algebra framework. We discuss the extension of a lower semi-continuous weight to a…
A generalization of the Yang-Baxter algebra is found in quantizing the monodromy matrix of two (m)KdV equations discretized on a space lattice. This braided Yang-Baxter equation still ensures that the transfer matrix generates operators in…
We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These…
It is shown that the quantised enveloping algebra of sl(n) contains a quantum Lie algebra, defined by means of axioms similar to Woronowicz's., This gives rise to Lie algebra-like generators and relations for the locally finite part of the…
In this article, we use Exel's construction to associate a C*-algebra to every shift space. We show that it has the C*-algebra defined in [Carlsen and Matsumoto: Some remarks on the C*-algebras associated with subshifts] as a quotient, and…
This is a short, self-contained expository survey, focused on algebraic and analytic aspects of quantum groups. Topics covered include the definition of ``quantum group,'' the Yang-Baxter equation, quantized universal enveloping algebras,…
By extending the method developed in our recent paper \cite{LM} we present the AQFT framework in terms of von Neumann algebras. In particular, this approach allows for a locally covariant categorical description of AQFT which moreover…
Our principal result is the following. Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and let $K$ be an operator valued kernel defined on $G$ with values in the space of bounded linear operators from $X$ to…
We show that the classification of the symmetric spaces can be achieved by K-theoretical methods. We focus on Hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, and define K-theory for JB*-triples along the lines of C*-theory. K-groups have to…
