We obtain systematic approximations to the states (energies and wave functions) of quantum rings (annular drums) of arbitrary shape by conformally mapping the annular domain to a simply connected domain. Extending the general results of…
Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…
The generalized Ces\`aro operators $C_t$, for $t\in [0,1]$, were first investigated in the 1980's. They act continuously in many classical Banach sequence spaces contained in $\mathbb{C}^{\mathbb{N}_0}$, such as $\ell^p$, $c_0$, $c$,…
A regular operator T on a Hilbert C^*-module is defined just like a closed operator on a Hilbert space, with the extra condition that the range of (I+T^*T) is dense. Semiregular operators are a slightly larger class of operators that may…
In his groundbreaking work on classification of singularities with regard to right and stable equivalence of germs, Arnold has listed normal forms for all isolated hypersurface singularities over the complex numbers with either modality…
In infinite dimensions and on the level of trace-class operators $C$ rather than matrices, we show that the closure of the $C$-numerical range $W_C(T)$ is always star-shaped with respect to the set $\operatorname{tr}(C)W_e(T)$, where…
In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…
In this paper, we aim to introduce the notion of the spectral radius of bounded linear operators acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, which are bounded with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator $A$ on…
In this paper we present a new extension of the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators with complex spectrum. In previous work a new concept of the class of absolutely continuous functions on a nonempty compact subset $\sigma$…
One can view contraction operators given by a canonical model of Sz.-Nagy and Foias as being defined by a quotient module where the basic building blocks are Hardy spaces. In this note we generalize this framework to allow the Bergman and…
We consider a bounded linear operator $T$ on a complex Banach space $X$ and show that its spectral radius $r(T)$ satisfies $r(T) < 1$ if all sequences $(< x',T^nx>)_{n \in \mathbb{N}_0}$ ($x \in X$, $x' \in X'$) are, up to a certain…
The quantum-to-classical transition is considered from the point of view of contractions of associative algebras. Various methods and ideas to deal with contractions of associative algebras are discussed that account for a large family of…
Every element $u$ of $[0,1]$ can be written in the form $u=x^2y$, where $x,y$ are elements of the Cantor set $C$. In particular, every real number between zero and one is the product of three elements of the Cantor set. On the other hand…
In this paper we introduce a new model for the quantum-mechanical system of the hydrogen atom. We start with a four-dimensional Lorentzian quadratic space $(V,q)$ and let $C \subset V$ be the corresponding cone. The Hilbert space of our…
In bounded convex domains, the regularity estimates of a vector field $\u$ with its $\dv\u$, $\curl\u$ in $L^r$ space and the tangential components or the normal component of $\u$ over the boundary in $L^r$ space, are established for…
Two new types of coherent states associated with the C_{\lambda}-extended oscillator, where C_{\lambda} is the cyclic group of order \lambda, are introduced. The first ones include as special cases both the Barut-Girardello and the…
We show that the diagonal matrix elements $< Or^{p} >,$ where $O$ $={1,\beta,i\mathbf{\alpha n}\beta}$ are the standard Dirac matrix operators and the angular brackets denote the quantum-mechanical average for the relativistic Coulomb…
We introduce a construction that turns a category of pure state spaces and operators into a category of observable algebras and superoperators. For example, it turns the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces into the category of…
Quantum entanglement was first recognized as a feature of quantum mechanics in the famous paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [18]. Recently it has been realized that quantum entanglement is a key ingredient in quantum computation,…
We establish various results on the large level limit of projective quantum representations of surface mapping class groups obtained by quantizing moduli spaces of flat SU(n)-bundle. Working with the metaplectic correction, we proved that…
