We calculate the high temperature partition functions for SU(Nc) or U(Nc) gauge theories in the deconfined phase on S^1 x S^3, with scalars, vectors, and/or fermions in an arbitrary representation, at zero 't Hooft coupling and large Nc,…
In this paper we describe the amalgamated free product of finite and semifinite hyperfinite von Neumann algebras over atomic type I subalgebras. To do this we extend the notions of free dimension and standard embeddings used in the related…
We investigate the confining phase transition as function of temperature for theories with dynamical fermions in the two index symmetric and antisymmetric representation of the gauge group. By studying the properties of the center of the…
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 study the phase transition of a system of self-gravitating neutrinos in the presence of a large radiation density background in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi model. We show that, by cooling a non-degenerate gas of massive neutrinos…

This paper revisits the textbook 'particle in a box', but from the point of view of Koopman-von Neumann (KvN) mechanics. KvN mechanics is a way to describe \emph{classical} dynamics in a Hilbert space. That simple fact changes the usual…
By numerically exact calculations of spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models on small clusters, we demonstrate that quantum entanglement between subsystems $A$ and $B$ in a pure ground state of a whole system $A+B$ can induce thermal…
This paper investigates the relationship between categorical entropy and von Neumann entropy of quantum lattices. We begin by studying the von Neumann entropy, proving that the average von Neumann entropy per site converges to the logarithm…
We continue here to study simple matrix models of quantum mechanical Hamiltonians. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions were associated energy levels and wave functions. Whereas previously we considered the weak coupling limits of our models,…
We study the multiplicity of irreducible representations in the decomposition of $n$ fundamentals of $SU(N)$ weighted by a power of their dimension in the large $n$ and large $N$ double scaling limit. A nontrivial scaling is obtained by…
Given a vector space of microscopic quantum observables, density functional theory is formulated on its dual space. A generalized Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and the existence of the universal energy functional in the dual space are proven. In…
Using von Neumann algebras, we extend the theory of quantum computation on a graph to a theory of computation on an arbitrary topological space.
We determine the structure of the partition algebra $P_n(Q)$ (a generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra) for specific values of $Q \in \C$, focusing on the quotient which gives rise to the partition function of $n$ site $Q$-state Potts models…
Gleason's theorem asserts the equivalence of von Neumann's density operator formalism of quantum mechanics and frame functions, which are functions on the pure states that sum to 1 on any orthonormal basis of Hilbert space of dimension at…
A comprehensive and detailed account is presented for the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory for electrons that expands in power series all thermodynamic functions on an equal footing. Algebraic recursions in the style of the…
The problem of construction of irreducible representations of quantum $A^q_n$ algebras is solved at the level of explicit integration of the linear (inhomogeneous) system in finite differences in the n-dimensional space. The general…
We give a numerical characterization of mutual orthogonality (that is, complementarity) for subalgebras. In order to give such a characterization for mutually orthogonal subalgebras $A$ and $B$ of the $k \times k$ matrix algebra…

It is shown that the differential geometry of space-time, can be expressed in terms of the algebra of operators on a bundle of Hilbert spaces. The price for this is that the algebra of smooth functions on space-time has to be made…
