The relevance that the property of complete positivity has had in the determination of quantum structures is briefly reviewed, together with recent applications to neutron optics and quantum Brownian motion. A possible useful application…
A rectangular matrix is called totally positive, if all its minors are positive. A point of a real Grassmanian manifold $G_{l,m}$ of $l$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb R^m$ is called strictly totally positive, if one can normalize its…
Let G be a simple complex algebraic group and g its Lie algebra. We show that the g-Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants determine a deformation-quantization, C_q[X_G(torus)], of the coordinate ring of the G-character variety of the…
Using the independent oscillator model with an arbitrary system potential, we derive a quantum Brownian equation assuming a correlated total initial state. Although not of Lindblad form, the equation preserves positivity of the density…
Wigner's celebrated theorem, which is particularly important in the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, states that every bijective transformation on the set of all rank-one projections of a complex Hilbert space which preserves…
The article targets binomial ideals in quantum tori and quantum affine spaces. First, noncommutative analogs of known results for commutative (Laurent) polynomial rings are obtained, including the following: Under the assumption of an…
We take a graph theoretic approach to the problem of finding generators for those prime ideals of $\mathcal{O}_q(\mathcal{M}_{m,n}(\mathbb{K}))$ which are invariant under the torus action ($\mathbb{K}^*)^{m+n}$. Launois \cite{launois3} has…
An algebraic approach is developed to define and study infinite dimensional grassmannians. Using this approach a quantum deformation is obtained for both the ind-variety union of all finite dimensional grassmannians, and the Sato…
Brown and Goodearl stated a conjecture that provides an explicit description of the topology of the spectra of quantum algebras. The conjecture takes on a more explicit form if there exist separating Ore sets for all incident pairs of torus…
We introduce twisted quantum $K$-rings, defined via twisted $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants. We develop a toolkit for computing relations by adapting some results about ordinary quantum K rings to our setting, and discuss some…
The focus of this PhD thesis is on applications, new developments and extensions of the noncommutative gravity theory proposed by Julius Wess and his group. In part one we propose an extension of the usual symmetry reduction procedure to…
The aim of this article is to give explicit formulae for various generating functions, including the generating function of torus-invariant primitive ideals in the big cell of the quantum minuscule grassmannian of type B_n.
Completely prime right ideals are introduced as a one-sided generalization of the concept of a prime ideal in a commutative ring. Some of their basic properties are investigated, pointing out both similarities and differences between these…
We describe how to obtain the imprimitivity bimodules of the noncommutative torus from a "principal bundle" construction, where the total space is a quasi-associative deformation of a 3-dimensional Heisenberg manifold.
Let k be a totally real number field ant let k$\infty$ be its cyclotomic Zp-extension for a prime p\textgreater{}2. We give (Theorem 3.2) a sufficient condition of nullity of the Iwasawa invariants lambda, mu, when p totally splits in k,…
We propose a new notion of positivity for topological field theories (TFTs), based on S. Eilenberg's concept of completeness for semirings. We show that a complete ground semiring, a system of fields on manifolds and a system of action…
We develop a version of quantum mechanics that can handle nonassociative algebras of observables and which reduces to standard quantum theory in the traditional associative setting. Our algebraic approach is naturally probabilistic and is…
We present a general method for constructing consistent quantum field theories with global symmetries. We start from a free non-interacting quantum field theory with given global symmetries and we determine all consistent perturbative…
In this paper we argue that classical, asymptotically AdS spacetimes that arise as states in consistent ultraviolet completions of Einstein gravity coupled to matter must satisfy an infinite family of positive energy conditions. To each…
Given a topological group $G$ and a unitary representation $U$ of $G$, we consider the problem of classifying the positive operator measures which are based on a $G$-homogeneous space $X$ and covariant with respect to the representation…
