We classify all continuous tensor product systems of Hilbert spaces which are “infinitely divisible” in the sense that they have an associated logarithmic structure. These results are applied to the theory of E0-semigroups to deduce that every E0-semigroup possessing sufficiently many “decomposable” operators must be cocycle conjugate to a CCR flow. A path space is an abstraction of the set of ...

in this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $a_p(gtimes h)$ and $a_p(g)widehat{otimes}^p a_p(h)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $g$ and $h$.

We make a direct connection between the construction of three dimensional topological state sums from tensor categories and three dimensional quantum gravity by noting that the discrete version of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is exactly the pentagon for the associator of the tensor category, the Biedenharn-Elliott identity. A crucial role is played by an asymptotic formula relating 6j-symbols to...

A topological defect separating a pair of two-dimensional CFTs is a codimension one interface along which all components of the stress-energy tensor glue continuously. We study topological defects of the bosonic, (0,1)and (0,2)-supersymmetric sigma models in two dimensions. We find a geometric classification of such defects closely analogous to that of A-branes of symplectic manifolds, with the...

In this paper, we give a characterization of strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps on normed algebras as a generalization of  Jordan zero-product preserving maps. In this direction, we give some illustrative examples to show that the notions of strongly zero-product preserving maps and strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps are completely different. Also, we prove that the direct p...

For two normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs on groups H and K which have no common direct factor and $gcd(|H/H^prime|,|Z(K)|)=1=gcd(|K/K^prime|,|Z(H)|)$, we consider four standard products of them and it is proved that only tensor product of factors can be normal edge-transitive.

Recent results of Voevodsky and others have effectively led to the proof of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjectures at the prime 2, and consequently made it possible to determine the 2-local homotopy type of the K-theory spectra for various number rings. The basic case is that of BGL(Z); in this note we use these results to determine the 2-local (topological) K-theory of the space BGL(Z), which can...
