We introduce shift algebras as certain crossed product algebras based on general function spaces and study properties, as well as the classification, of a particular class of modules depending on a set of matrix parameters. It turns out…
We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…
This article considers quantum systems described by a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $H$. We first define the concept of a finite observable on $H$. We then discuss ways of combining observables in terms of convex combinations,…
We first show that the convex effect algebras (CEA) approach to quantum mechanics is more general than the general probabilistic theories approach. We then restrict our attention to finite-dimension CEA's. After an introductory Section~1,…
We study symplectic groups and indefinite orthogonal groups over involutive, possibly noncommutative, algebras $(A, \sigma)$. In the case when the algebra $(A, \sigma)$ is Hermitian, or the complexification $(A_{\mathbb{C}},…
On the one hand the algebras of linear operators here act on finite-dimensional vector spaces, and on the other hand the point of view is generally an analysts'. Also, one might think of algebras as being used to add more data to basic…
We describe an algebra of observables for a static patch in de Sitter space, with operators gravitationally dressed to the worldline of an observer. The algebra is a von Neumann algebra of Type II$_1$. There is a natural notion of entropy…
A physical applicability of normed split-algebras, such as hyperbolic numbers, split-quaternions and split-octonions is considered. We argue that the observable geometry can be described by the algebra of split-octonions. In such a picture…
Quantitative algebras are $\Sigma$-algebras acting on metric spaces, where operations are nonexpanding. Mardare, Panangaden and Plotkin introduced 1-basic varieties as categories of quantitative algebras presented by quantitative equations.…
These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory. The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible symmetries. The main topics covered are the basics of higher-form…
This paper has two tightly intertwined aims: (i) To introduce an intuitive and universal graphical calculus for multi-qubit systems, the ZX-calculus, which greatly simplifies derivations in the area of quantum computation and information.…
This paper proposes a new category theoretic account of equationally axiomatizable classes of algebras. Our approach is well-suited for the treatment of algebras equipped with additional computationally relevant structure, such as ordered…
We study measures, finitely additive measures, regular measures, and $\sigma$-additive measures that can attain even infinite values on the quantum logic of a Hilbert space. We show when particular classes of non-negative measures can be…
The study of dualities is a central issue in several modern approaches to quantum field theory, as they have broad consequences on the structure and on the properties of the theory itself. We call Abelian duality the generalisation to…
Starting from a recently-introduced algebraic structure on spin foam models, we define a Hopf algebra by dividing with an appropriate quotient. The structure, thus defined, naturally allows for a mirror analysis of spin foam models with…
Based on a recent purely geometric construction of observables for the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, we propose two distinct quantum reductions to spherical symmetry within full 3+1-dimensional loop quantum gravity. The construction of…
We use purity, a principle borrowed from the foundations of quantum information, to show that all special symmetric dagger-Frobenius algebras in CPM(fHilb) are canonical, i.e. that they arise by doubling of special symmetric…
In Quantum Mechanics operators must be hermitian and, in a direct product space, symmetric. These properties are saved by Lie algebra operators but not by those of quantum algebras. A possible correspondence between observables and quantum…
We introduce and study a new notion of amenability called symmetric pseudo-amenability. We obtain some properties of symmetrically pseudo-amenable Banach algebras and with examples, we compare this type of amenability with some other types…
Spectral triples describe and generalize Riemannian spin geometries by converting the geometrical information into algebraic data, which consist of an algebra $A$, a Hilbert space $H$ carrying a representation of $A$ and the Dirac operator…
