We present a decomposition formula for $U_n$, an integral of time-ordered products of operators, in terms of sums of products of the more primitive quantities $C_m$, which are the integrals of time-ordered commutators of the same operators.…
In the present article, we review a continual effort on generalization of the Trotter formula to higher-order exponential product formulas. The exponential product formula is a good and useful approximant, particularly because it conserves…
Relations between integrals of time-ordered product of operators, and their representation in terms of energy-ordered products are studied. Both can be decomposed into irreducible factors and these relations are discussed as well. The…
We present a decomposition scheme based on Lie-Trotter-Suzuki product formulae to represent an ordered operator exponential as a product of ordinary operator exponentials. We provide a rigorous proof that does not use a time-displacement…
The time-evolution operator for an explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonian is expressed as the product of a sequence of unitary operators. These are obtained by successive time-dependent unitary transformations of the Hilbert space followed…
We derive a formula which expresses a second order cumulant whose entries are products as a sum of cumulants where the entries are single factors. This extends to the second order case the formula of Krawczyk and Speicher. We apply our…
We revisit the q-deformed counterpart of the Zassenhaus formula, expressing the Jackson $q$-exponential of the sum of two non-$q$-commuting operators as an (in general) infinite product of $q$-exponential operators involving repeated…
We provide a recursive method for constructing product formula approximations to exponentials of commutators, giving the first approximations that are accurate to arbitrarily high order. Using these formulas, we show how to approximate…
The usual time-ordering operation and the corresponding time-ordered exponential play a fundamental role in physics and applied mathematics. In this work we study a new approach to the understanding of time-ordering relying on recent…
We introduce a formalism of infinite, linearly ordered products in general groups. Using this, we define infinite compositions in certain groups of formal power series such as transseries. We show that such groups can sometimes be…
This paper studies the exponential of the sum of two non-commuting operators as an infinite product of exponential operators involving repeated commutators of increasing order. It will be shown how to determine two coefficients in front of…
In a noncommutative algebra there is no canonical way to express elements in univalent way, which is often called "ordering problem". In this note we give product formula of the Weyl algebra in generic ordered expression. In particular, the…
Multiplication of two elements of the special unitary group SU(N) determines uniquely a third group element. A BAker-Campbell-Hausdorff relation is derived which expresses the group parameters of the product (written as an exponential) in…
The well-known Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff theorem in Lie theory says that the logarithm of a noncommutative product e X e Y can be expressed in terms of iterated commutators of X and Y. This paper provides a gentle introduction t{\'o}…
For a commutative algebra which comes from a Zinbiel algebra the exponential series can be written without denominators. When lifted to dendriform algebras this new series satisfies a functional equation analogous to the…
Any power series with unit constant term can be factored into an infinite product of the form $\prod_{n\geq 1} (1-q^n)^{-a_n}$. We give direct formulas for the exponents $a_n$ in terms of the coefficients of the power series, and vice…
We study unital operator spaces endowed with a partially defined product. We give a matrix-norm characterization of such products that allows for a representation theorem where the partial product is realized as composition of operators on…
Based on the operator representation on the module over Banach algebra $B(X)$, the Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff formula is generalized to the unbounded situations. In conclusion, by means of the logarithmic representation of generally-unbounded…
The time-ordered exponential representation of a complex time evolution operator in the interaction picture is studied. Using the complex time evolution, we prove the Gell-Mann -- Low formula under certain abstract conditions, in…
We treat the problem of normally ordering expressions involving the standard boson operators a, a* where [a,a*]=1. We show that a simple product formula for formal power series - essentially an extension of the Taylor expansion - leads to a…
