In this paper, we construct a new family of generalization of the positive representations of split-real quantum groups based on the degeneration of the Casimir operators acting as zero on some Hilbert spaces. It is motivated by a new…
The symmetrization postulate and the associated Bose/Fermi (anti)-commutators for field mode operators are among the pillars on which local quantum field theory lays its foundations. They ultimately determine the structure of Fock space and…
We wish to report here on a recent approach to the non-commutative calculus on $q$-Minkowski space which is based on the reflection equations with no spectral parameter. These are considered as the expression of the invariance (under the…
The Quantum Wheeler-DeWitt operator can be derived from an affine commutation relation via the affine group representation formalism for gravity, wherein a family of gauge-diffeomorphism invariant affine coherent states are constructed from…
In this second in a series of four articles we create a mathematical formalism sufficient to represent nontrivial hamiltonian quantum dynamics, including resonances. Some parts of this construction are also mathematically necessary. The…
In the present paper we continue our investigations of the representation theoretic side of reflection positivity by studying positive definite functions \psi on the additive group (R,+) satisfying a suitably defined KMS condition. These…
Let $A_{i}\ (i=1, 2, ..., k)$ be bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. This paper aims to show characterizations of operator order $A_{k}\geq A_{k-1}\geq...\geq A_{2}\geq A_{1}>0$ in terms of operator inequalities. Afterwards, an…
In this paper we study the finitely generated algebras underlying $W$ algebras. These so called 'finite $W$ algebras' are constructed as Poisson reductions of Kirillov Poisson structures on simple Lie algebras. The inequivalent reductions…
Antiunitary representations of Lie groups take values in the group of unitary and antiunitary operators on a Hilbert space H. In quantum physics, antiunitary operators implement time inversion or a PCT symmetry, and in the modular theory of…
Suppose $A$ is a positive real linear transformation on a finite dimensional complex inner product space $V$. The reproducing kernel for the Fock space of square integrable holomorphic functions on $V$ relative to the Gaussian measure…
We describe the general strategy for lifting the Wess-Zumino-Witten model from the level of one-loop Kac-Moody $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})_k$ to generic quantum toroidal algebras. A nearly exhaustive presentation is given for the two…
In the first part of this thesis we study the generalization of the recent algebraic approach to classical field theory by proposing a more general setting based on the manifold of smooth sections of a non-trivial fiber bundle. Central is…
$W$-representation realizes partition functions by an action of a cut-and-join-like operator on the vacuum state with a zero-mode background. We provide explicit formulas of this kind for $\beta$- and $q,t$-deformations of the simplest…
We revisit the representation theory of the quantum double of the universal cover of the Lorentz group in 2+1 dimensions, motivated by its role as a deformed Poincar\'e symmetry and symmetry algebra in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. We…
In this article we show that the main C*-algebras describing the canonical commutation relations of quantum physics, i.e., the Weyl and resolvent algebras, are in the class of F{\o}lner C*-algebras, a class of C*-algebras admitting a kind…
We use the theory of pseudo-Hermitian operators to address the problem of the construction and classification of positive-definite invariant inner-products on the space of solutions of a Klein-Gordon type evolution equation. This involves…
The earlier treatments of Lorentz covariant harmonic oscillator have brought to light various difficulties, such as reconciling Lorentz symmetry with the full Fock space, and divergence issues with their functional representations. We…
Starting from square-integrable wave functions on a Lie group, we build an invertible Fourier transform mapping them on wave functions on the dual of the Lie algebra. This is a group-theoretic version of the map from position space to…
Generalized convolution symmetries of integrable hierarchies of KP and 2KP-Toda type multiply the Fourier coefficients of the elements of the Hilbert space $\HH= L^2(S^1)$ by a specified sequence of constants. This induces a corresponding…
We define the $\frac{\mathbb{Z}}{2}$-graded meromorphic open-string vertex algebra that is an appropriate noncommutative generalization of the vertex operator superalgebra. We also illustrate an example that can be viewed as a…
