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…

A projection space is a collection of spaces interrelated by the combinatorics of projection onto tensor factors in a symmetric monoidal background category. Examples include classical configuration spaces, orbit configuration spaces, the…

An introduction is given to an algebraic formulation and generalisation of the consistent histories approach to quantum theory. The main technical tool in this theory is an orthoalgebra of history propositions that serves as a generalised…

We introduce the general polynomial algebras characterizing a class of higher order superintegrable systems that separate in Cartesian coordinates. The construction relies on underlying polynomial Heisenberg algebras and their defining…

Recently, much research has been carried out on Hamiltonians that are not Hermitian but are symmetric under space-time reflection, that is, Hamiltonians that exhibit PT symmetry. Investigations of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem…

Geometric algebra is an optimal frame work for calculating with vectors. The geometric algebra of a space includes elements that represent all the its subspaces (lines, planes, volumes, ...). Conformal geometric algebra expands this…

Quasi-Boolean algebras were introduced as the generalization of Boolean algebras in the setting of quantum computation logic. In this paper, we investigate the completeness and congruences of quasi-Boolean algebras. First, we discuss the…

A garland based on a manifold $P$ is a finite set of manifolds homeomorphic to $P$ with some of them glued together at marked points. Fix a manifold $M$ and consider a space $\NN$ of all smooth mappings of garlands based on $P$ into $M$. We…

Let A=k+A_1+A_2.... be a connected graded, noetherian k-algebra that is generated in degree one over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose that the graded quotient ring Q(A) has the form Q(A)=k(Y)[t,t^{-1},sigma], where sigma is an…

Let $A$ be a partial *-algebra endowed with a topology $\tau$ that makes it into a locally convex topological vector space $A[\tau]$. Then $A$ is called a topological partial *-algebra if it satisfies a number of conditions, which all…

Convolution is a ubiquitous operation in mathematics and computing. The Kripke semantics for substructural and interval logics motivates its study for quantale-valued functions relative to ternary relations. The resulting notion of…

Effect algebras were introduced in order to describe the structure of effects, i.e. events in quantum mechanics. They are partial algebras describing the logic behind the corresponding events. It is natural to ask how to introduce the…

Let $A$ be a symbolic (or an extended symbolic) Rees algebra (need not be Noetherian) of dimension $d$. Let $P$ be a finitely generated projective $A$-module of rank $\geq$ $d$. Then P has a unimodular element. This improves the classical…

Our goal is to define an algebraic language for reasoning about non-deterministic computations. Towards this goal, we introduce an algebra of string-to-string transductions. Specifically, it is an algebra of partial functions on words over…

Information algebras arise from the idea that information comes in pieces which can be aggregated or combined into new pieces, that information refers to questions and that from any piece of information, the part relevant to a given…

A propositional logic program $P$ may be identified with a $P_fP_f$-coalgebra on the set of atomic propositions in the program. The corresponding $C(P_fP_f)$-coalgebra, where $C(P_fP_f)$ is the cofree comonad on $P_fP_f$, describes…

Following Birkhoff and von Neumann, quantum logic has traditionally been based on the lattice of closed linear subspaces of some Hilbert space, or, more generally, on the lattice of projections in a von Neumann algebra A. Unfortunately, the…
