We prove that the generator of the $L^2$ implementation of a KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroup can be expressed as the square of a derivation with values in a Hilbert bimodule, extending earlier results by Cipriani and Sauvageot for…
Cipriani and Sauvageot have shown that for any $L^2$-generator $L^{(2)}$ of a tracially symmetric quantum Markov semigroup on a C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ there exists a densely defined derivation $\delta$ from $\mathcal{A}$ to a Hilbert…
In this note we prove a refined version of the Christensen-Evans theorem for generators of uniformly continuous GNS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We use this result to show the existence of GNS-symmetric extensions of GNS-symmetric…
We study the structure of the generator of a symmetric, conservative quantum dynamical semigroup with norm-bounded generator on a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semifinite trace. For von Neumann algebras with abelian commutant…
We find the structure of generators of norm continuous quantum Markov semigroups on B(h) that are symmetric with respect to the scalar product tr(\rho^{1/2}x\rho^{1/2}y) induced by a faithful normal invariant state invariant state \rho and…
Quantum Markov Semigroups (QMSs) originally arose in the study of the evolutions of irreversible open quantum systems. Mathematically, they are a generalization of classical Markov semigroups where the underlying function space is replaced…
The bimodule KMS symmetry of a bimodule quantum Markov semigroup extends the classical KMS symmetry of a quantum Markov semigroup. Compared with (bimodule) GNS symmetry, the (bimodule) KMS symmetry retains significantly more of the…
We prove that certain closable derivations on the GNS Hilbert space associated with a non-tracial weight on a von Neumann algebra give rise to GNS-symmetric semigroups of contractive completely positive maps on the von Neumann algebra.
We specify the structure of completely positive operators and quantum Markov semigroup generators that are symmetric with respect to a family of inner products, also providing new information on the order strucure an extreme points in some…
For a quantum Markov semigroup $\T$ on the algebra $\B$ with a faithful invariant state $\rho$, we can define an adjoint $\widetilde{\T}$ with respect to the scalar product determined by $\rho$. In this paper, we solve the open problems of…
We give an explicit construction of the quantum-group generators ---local, semi-local, and global --- in terms of the group-valued quantum fields $\tilde g$ and $\tilde g^{-1}$ in the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory. The algebras…
Quantum stochastic cocycles provide a basic model for time-homogeneous Markovian evolutions in a quantum setting, and a direct counterpart in continuous time to quantum random walks, in both the Schrodinger and Heisenberg pictures. This…
Chern-Simons Theories with gauge super-groups appear naturally in string theory and they possess interesting applications in mathematics, e.g. for the construction of knot and link invariants. This paper is the first in a series where we…
We study semigroups of convex monotone operators on spaces of continuous functions and their behaviour with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence. In contrast to the linear theory, the domain of the generator is, in general, not invariant under…
We consider a supersymmetric matrix model which is related to the non-critical superstring theory. We find new non-singlet terms in the supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics. The new non-singlet terms give rise to nontrivial interactions.…
Attention is focused on antisymmetrized versions of quantum spaces that are of particular importance in physics, i.e. two-dimensional quantum plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
Starting from a (small) rigid C$^*$-tensor category $\mathscr{C}$ with simple unit, we construct von Neumann algebras associated to each of its objects. These algebras are factors and can be either semifinite (of type II$_1$ or II$_\infty$,…
The aim of this paper is to give a characterization in Hilbert spaces of the generators of $C_0$-semigroups associated with closed, sectorial forms in terms of the convergence of a generalized Trotter's product formula. In the course of the…
A natural counterpart to the Lie-Trotter product formula for norm-continuous one-parameter semigroups is proved, for the class of quasicontractive quantum stochastic operator cocycles whose expectation semigroup is norm continuous. Compared…
We generalize the result of Gorini, Kossakowski, and Sudarshan [J. Math. Phys. 17:821, 1976] that every generator of a quantum-dynamical semigroup decomposes uniquely into a closed and a dissipative part, assuming the trace of both…
