Fock representations from U(1) holonomy algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We revisit the quantization of U(1) holonomy algebras using the abelian C algebra based techniques which form the mathematical underpinnings of current efforts to construct loop quantum gravity. In particular, we clarify the role of “smeared loops” and of Poincare invariance in the construction of Fock representations of these algebras. This enables us to critically re-examine early pioneering efforts to construct Fock space representations of linearised gravity and free Maxwell theory from holonomy algebras through an application of the (then current) techniques of loop quantum gravity.

Exploring Representation Theory of Unitary Groups via Linear Optical Passive Devices
In this paper, we investigate some mathematical structures underlying the physics of linear optical passive (LOP) devices. We show, in particular, that with the class of LOP transformations on N optical modes one can associate a unitary representation of U(N) in the N -mode Fock space, representation which can be decomposed into irreducible sub-representations living in the subspaces characteri...

A new 2-parameter quadratic deformation of the quantum oscillator algebra and its 1-parameter deformed Heisenberg subalgebra are considered. An infinite dimensional Fock module representation is presented which at roots of unity contains null vectors and so is reducible to a finite dimensional representation. The cyclic, nilpotent and unitary representations are discussed. Witten’s deformation ...
