E0-semigroups in Quantum Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lecture presented at the von Neumann symposium on Quantization and Nonlinear Wave Equations held at MIT in June, 1994. We describe the role of semigroups of endomorphisms of von Neumann algebras in algebraic formulations of quantum field theory, and present a summary of recent developments in the theory of E0-semigroups. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Decompositions of Beurling Type for E0-semigroups
We define tensor product decompositions of E0-semigroups with a structure analogous to a classical theorem of Beurling. Such decompositions can be characterized by adaptedness and exactness of unitary cocycles. For CCR-flows we show that such cocycles are convergent. Introduction. A well-known theorem of Beurling characterizes invariant subspaces of the right shift on l(N) by inner functions in...
متن کاملClassification of E0–Semigroups by Product Systems
In these notes we tie up some loose ends in the theory of E0–semigroups and their classification by product systems of Hilbert modules. We explain how the notion of cocycle conjugacy must be modified in order to see how product systems classify E0–semigroups. Actually, we will find two notions of cocycle conjugacy (which for Hilbert spaces coincide) that lead to classification up to isomorphism...
متن کاملWhat type of dynamics arise in E0-dilations of commuting quantum Markov processes?
Let H be a separable Hilbert space. Given two strongly commuting CP0-semigroups φ and θ on B(H), there is a Hilbert space K ⊇ H and two (strongly) commuting E0-semigroups α and β such that φs ◦ θt(PHAPH) = PHαs ◦ βt(A)PH for all s, t ≥ 0 and all A ∈ B(K). In this note we prove that if φ is not an automorphism semigroup then α is cocycle conjugate to the minimal ∗-endomorphic dilation of φ, and ...
متن کاملThe Index of a Quantum Dynamical Semigroup
A numerical index is introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps of B(H) which generalizes the index of E0-semigroups. It is shown that the index of a unital completely positive semigroup agrees with the index of its dilation to an E0-semigroup, provided that the dilation is minimal. Introduction. We introduce a numerical index for semigroups P = {Pt : t ≥ 0} of normal completely posi...
متن کاملOn Cocycle Conjugacy of Quasifree Endomorphisms Semigroups on the Car Algebra
W. Arveson has described a cocycle conjugacy class U(α) of E0-semigroup α on B(H) which is a factor of type I. Under some conditions on α there is a E0-semigroup β ∈ U(α) being a flow of shifts in the sense of R.T.Powers (see [11]). We study quasifree endomorphisms semigroups α on the hyperfinite factor M = π(A(K)) generated by the representation π of the algebra of the canonical anticommutatio...
