There is a widespread belief in the quantum physical community, and in textbooks used to teach Quantum Mechanics, that it is a difficult task to apply the time evolution operator Exp{-itH/h} on an initial wave function. That is to say,…
The canonical operator $\hat{a}^{\dagger}$ ($\hat{a}$) represents the ideal process of adding (subtracting) an {\it exact} amount of energy $E$ to (from) a physical system in both elementary quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. This…
A conjugation $C$ is an anti-linear isometric involution on a complex Hilbert space $\clh$, and $T\in \clb(\clh)$ is conjugate normal if $T^*T = CTT^*C$ holds for some conjugation (C). In this paper, we provide a factorization and range…
The time evolution is studied for the Landau problem with a general time dependent electric field ${\bf E}(t)$ in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. A general and explicit factorization of the time evolution operator is derived…
The product of two unitaries can normally be expressed as a single exponential through the famous Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. We present here a counterexample in quantum optics, by showing that an expression in terms of a single…
Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators $W(a)+H(b):L^p(\mathbb{R}^+)\to L^p(\mathbb{R}^+)$ with generating functions $a$ and $b$ from a subalgebra of $L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$ containing almost periodic functions and Fourier images of…
It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $\Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus…
We characterize classes of linear maps between operator spaces $E$, $F$ which factorize through maps arising in a natural manner via the Pisier vector-valued non-commutative $L^p$ spaces $S_p[E^*]$ based on the Schatten classes on the…
We consider the analytic continuation of the transfer function associated with a 2x2 operator matrix having unbounded couplings into unphysical sheets of its Riemann surface. We construct a family of non-selfadjoint operators which…
We introduce and study a generalization of the notion of exact operator space that we call subexponential. Using Random Matrices we show that the factorization results of Grothendieck type that are known in the exact case all extend to the…
We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…
We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and non-factorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and…
Soft-collinear effective theory is used to prove factorization of the B->gamma+l+nu decay amplitude at leading power in Lambda/m_b, including a demonstration of the absence of non-valence Fock states and of the finiteness of the convolution…
We extend the recently much-studied Hardy factorization theorems to the weight case. The key point of this paper is to establish the factorization theorems without individual condition on the weight functions. As a direct application, we…
Parametric factorizations of linear partial operators on the plane are considered for operators of orders two, three and four. The operators are assumed to have a completely factorable symbol. It is proved that ``irreducible'' parametric…
We prove an algebraic extension theorem for the computably enumerable sets, $\mathcal{E}$. Using this extension theorem and other work we then show if $A$ and $\hat{A}$ are automorphic via $\Psi$ then they are automorphic via $\Lambda$…
Let $H^{\infty}(E)$ be a non commutative Hardy algebra, associated with a $W^*$-correspondence $E$. In this paper we construct factorizations of inner-outer type of the elements of $H^{\infty}(E)$ represented via the induced representation,…
We consider quantum group theory on the Hilbert space level. We find all solutions for scalar and general exponential equations for the quantum ``az+b'' group. It turns out that there is a simple formula for all of them involving the…
Many collider observables suffer from non-global logarithms not captured by standard resummation techniques. Classic examples are the light-jet mass event shape in the limit of small mass and the related hemisphere soft function. We derive…
Many known models, which generally use a factorization hypothesis, give a poor account of the decays B into J/psi + K(*). Usually there is a free overall factor, which is fit to the data, so that tests of the models rely upon ratios. The…
