Quantum bialgebras derivable from Uq(sl2) which contain idempotents and von Neumann regular Cartan-like generators are introduced and investigated. Various types of antipodes (invertible and von Neumann regular) on these bialgebras are constructed, which leads to a Hopf algebra structure and a von Neumann-Hopf algebra structure, respectively. For them, explicit forms of some particular R-matric...

When the computer scientist seeks to model natural phenomena, he or she may select from two paths. Modeling may be by representation or by realization. This distinction is clarified by means of a simple physical example: an adiabatic pressure vessel. A representational model will in no way involve the operation of such a vessel even as a real gas law is observed (like van der Waals’ gas law), w...

“The von Neumann vicious circle” means that non-von Neumann computer architectures cannot be developed because of the lack of widely available and effective non-von Neumann languages. New languages cannot be created because of lack of conceptual foundations for non-von Neumann architectures. The reason is that programming languages are high-level abstract isomorphic copies of von Neumann comput...

The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or cardinality of the algebra. We relate this to several known results and derive some consequences, of which we list a few here. Exactly when the ambient von Neu...

We present the semi-conductor Boltzmann équation, which is time réversible, and mdicate that it can be formally derived by considermg the large time and small perturbmg potential limit m the Von-Neumann équation (time-réversible) We then rigorously compute the corresponding asymptotics in the case of the Von-Neumann équation on the Torus We show that the limit mg équation we obtam does not coïn...

Let E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and let k be a field of characteristic p. We introduce functors Fi from finitely generated kE-modules of constant Jordan type to vector bundles over projective space Pr−1. The fibers of the functors Fi encode complete information about the Jordan type of the module. We prove that given any vector bundle F of rank s on Pr−1, there is a kE-module M...

We develop the argument that the Gibbs-von Neumann entropy is the appropriate statistical mechanical generalisation of the thermodynamic entropy, for macroscopic and microscopic systems , whether in thermal equilibrium or not, as a consequence of Hamiltonian dynamics. The mathematical treatment utilises well known results [Gib02, Tol38, Weh78, Par89], but most importantly, incorporates a variet...

A ternary ring of operators is an “off-diagonal corner” of a C∗-algebra and the predual of a ternary ring of operators (if it exists) is of the form pR∗q for some von Neumann algebra R and projections p and q in R. In this paper, we prove that a subspace of the predual of a ternary ring of operators is completely 1-complemented if and only if it is completely isometrically isomorphic to the pre...

Suppose M is a compact manifold with boundary ∂M . Let M̃ be a normal covering of M . Suppose (A, T ) is an elliptic differential boundary value problem on M with lift (Ã, T̃ ) to M̃ . Then the von Neumann dimension of kernel and cokernel of this lift are defined. The main result of this paper is: These numbers are finite, and their difference, by definition the von Neumann index of (Ã, T̃ ), equal...
