This paper proposes a totally constructive approach for the proof of Hilbert's theorem on ternary quartic forms. The main contribution is the ladder technique, with which the Hilbert's theorem is proved vividly.
A unification of the set of quasiprobability representations using the mathematical theory of frames was recently developed for quantum systems with finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, in which it was proven that such representations require…
This paper deals with the Newton--Wigner position observable for Poincar\'e-invariant classical systems. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for elementary systems that parallels the well-known Newton--Wigner theorem in the quantum…
We provide a new simple and transparent proof of the version of Kummer's test given in [Tong, J. (1994). Amer. Math. Monthly. 101(5): 450--452]. Our proof is based on an application of a Hardy--Littlewood Tauberian theorem.
Wigner's classical theorem on symmetry transformations plays a fundamental role in quantum mechanics. It can be formulated, for example, in the following way: Every bijective transformation on the set L of all 1-dimensional subspaces of a…
We present further progress, in the form of analytical results, on the Wigner entropy conjecture set forth in https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.042211 and https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1751-8121/aa852f/meta. Said…
We present a way to organize a constructive development of the theory of Banach algebras, inspired by works of Cohen, de Bruijn and Bishop. We illustrate this by giving elementary proofs of Wiener's result on the inverse of Fourier series…
The basics of the Wigner formulation of Quantum-Mechanics and few related interpretational issues are presented in a simple language. This formulation has extensive applications in Quantum Optics and in Mixed Quantum-Classical formulations.
Weinstein's[2] brilliant short proof of de Branges'[1] theorem can be made yet much shorter(modulo routine calculations), completely elementary (modulo L\"owner theory), self contained(no need for the esoteric Legendre polynomials' addition…
We provide a constructive treatment of basic results in the theory of central simple algebras. One main issue is the fact that one starting result, Wedderburn's Theorem stating that a simple algebra is a matrix algebra over a skew field, is…
For the Lie algebras $g_n= \mathfrak{o}_{2n+1},\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{o}_{2n}$ a simple construction of a base in an irreducible representation is given. The construction of this base uses the method of $Z$-invariants of Zhelobenko…
Using the quadrature bases that incorporate the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, we develop a Wigner functional theory for quantum optics, as an extension of the Moyal formalism. Since the spatiotemporal quadrature bases span the complete…
In this work, we derive a discrete analog of the Wigner transform over the space $(\mathbb{C}^p)^{\otimes N}$ for any prime $p$ and any positive integer $N$. We show that the Wigner transform over this space can be constructed as the…
We consider transformation maps on the space of states which are symmetries in the sense of Wigner. Due to the convex nature of the space of states, the set of these maps has a convex structure. We investigate the possibility of a complete…
The purpose is to construct the quantum field theory including gravity, based on physical assumptions as few as possible. Up to now, the work by Prof. Steven Weinberg probably suits this purpose the most. Though the purpose is difficult to…
Although there are many simple proofs of Jordan's decomposition theorem in the literature (see [1], the references mentioned there, and [2]), our proof seems to be even more elementary. In fact, all we need is the theorem on the dimensions…
Complex numbers are basic. An inconsistency would question Wigner's unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. A vehicle to study this question is Kirchoff's scalar diffraction theory. In the paper, an inconsistency in complex phase angle…
This note is an introduction to methods of construction for Hilbert space realizations of relativistic quantum physics. The realizations satisfy a revision to Wightman's functional analytic axioms and exhibit interaction in physical…
The original Wigner function provides a way of representing in phase space the quantum states of systems with continuous degrees of freedom. Wigner functions have also been developed for discrete quantum systems, one popular version being…
A fundamental theorem of linear algebra asserts that every basis for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ has $n$ elements. In this expository note we present a theorem of W. G. Leavitt describing one way in which this invariant basis number…
