Locally convex quasi *-algebras with sufficiently many *-representations

AbstractThe main aim of this paper is the investigation of conditions under which a locally convex quasi ⁎-algebra (A[τ],A0) attains sufficiently many (τ,tw)-continuous ⁎-representations in L†(D,H), to separate its points. Having achieved this, a usual notion of bounded elements on A[τ] rises. On the other hand, a natural order exists on (A[τ],A0) related to the topology τ, that also leads to a kind of bounded elements, which we call “order bounded”. What is important is that under certain conditions the latter notion of boundedness coincides with the usual one. Several nice properties of order bounded elements are extracted that enrich the structure of locally convex quasi ⁎-algebras.

Fredholm Spectra and Weyl Type Theorems for Drazin Invertible Operators

In this paper we investigate the relationship between some spectra originating from Fredholm theory of a Drazin invertible operator and its Drazin inverse, if this does exist. Moreover, we study the transmission of Weyl type theorems from a Drazin invertible operator R, to its Drazin inverse S.

Property (gab) through localized SVEP

In this article we study the property (gab) for a bounded linear operator T 2 L(X) on a Banach space X which is a stronger variant of Browder's theorem. We shall give several characterizations of property (gab). These characterizations are obtained by using typical tools from local spectral theory. We also show that property (gab) holds for large classes of operators and prove the stability of property (gab) under some commuting perturbations. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classication.

Radon-Nikodym theorem in quasi *-algebras

Distributions Frames and bases

In this paper we will consider, in the abstract setting of rigged Hilbert spaces, distribution valued functions and we will investigate, in particular, conditions for them to constitute a "continuous basis" for the smallest space $\mathcal D$ of a rigged Hilbert space. This analysis requires suitable extensions of familiar notions as those of frame, Riesz basis and orthonormal basis. A motivation for this study comes from the Gel'fand-Maurin theorem which states, under certain conditions, the existence of a family of generalized eigenvectors of an essentially self-adjoint operator on a domain $\mathcal D$ which acts like an orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. The correspond…

An invariant analytic orthonormalization procedure with applications

We apply the orthonormalization procedure previously introduced by two of us and adopted in connection with coherent states to Gabor frames and other examples. For instance, for Gabor frames we show how to construct $g(x)\in L^2(\Bbb{R})$ in such a way the functions $g_{\underline n}(x)=e^{ian_1x}g(x+an_2)$, $\underline n\in\Bbb{Z}^2$ and $a$ some positive real number, are mutually orthogonal. We discuss in some details the role of the lattice naturally associated to the procedure in this analysis.

Coordinate representation for non Hermitian position and momentum operators

In this paper we undertake an analysis of the eigenstates of two non self-adjoint operators $\hat q$ and $\hat p$ similar, in a suitable sense, to the self-adjoint position and momentum operators $\hat q_0$ and $\hat p_0$ usually adopted in ordinary quantum mechanics. In particular we discuss conditions for these eigenstates to be {\em biorthogonal distributions}, and we discuss few of their properties. We illustrate our results with two examples, one in which the similarity map between the self-adjoint and the non self-adjoint is bounded, with bounded inverse, and the other in which this is not true. We also briefly propose an alternative strategy to deal with $\hat q$ and $\hat p$, based …

An invariant analytic orthonormalization procedure with an application to coherent states

We discuss a general strategy which produces an orthonormal set of vectors, stable under the action of a given set of unitary operators Aj, j=1,2,n, starting from a fixed normalized vector in H and from a set of unitary operators. We discuss several examples of this procedure and, in particular, we show how a set of coherentlike vectors can be produced and in which condition over the lattice spacing this can be done. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Local Spectral Properties Under Conjugations

AbstractIn this paper, we study some local spectral properties of operators having form JTJ, where J is a conjugation on a Hilbert space H and $$T\in L(H)$$ T ∈ L ( H ) . We also study the relationship between the quasi-nilpotent part of the adjoint $$T^*$$ T ∗ and the analytic core K(T) in the case of decomposable complex symmetric operators. In the last part we consider Weyl type theorems for triangular operator matrices for which one of the entries has form JTJ, or has form $$JT^*J$$ J T ∗ J . The theory is exemplified in some concrete cases.

Representations of Certain Banach C*-modules

The possibility of extending the well known Gelfand–Naimark– Segal representation of *-algebras to certain Banach C*-modules is studied. For this aim the notion of modular biweight on a Banach C*-module is introduced. For the particular class of strict pre CQ*-algebras, two different types of representations are investigated.

A Note on States and Traces from Biorthogonal Sets

In this paper, following Bagarello, Trapani, and myself, we generalize the Gibbs states and their related KMS-like conditions. We have assumed that H 0 , H are closed and, at least, densely defined, without giving information on the domain of these operators. The problem we address in this paper is therefore to find a dense domain D that allows us to generalize the states of Gibbs and take them in their natural environment i.e., defined in L &dagger

Extensions of hermitian linear functionals

AbstractWe study, from a quite general point of view, the family of all extensions of a positive hermitian linear functional $$\omega $$ ω , defined on a dense *-subalgebra $${\mathfrak {A}}_0$$ A 0 of a topological *-algebra $${\mathfrak {A}}[\tau ]$$ A [ τ ] , with the aim of finding extensions that behave regularly. The sole constraint the extensions we are dealing with are required to satisfy is that their domain is a subspace of $$\overline{G(\omega )}$$ G ( ω ) ¯ , the closure of the graph of $$\omega $$ ω (these are the so-called slight extensions). The main results are two. The first is having characterized those elements of $${\mathfrak {A}}$$ A for which we can find a positive her…

Gibbs states defined by biorthogonal sequences

Motivated by the growing interest on PT-quantum mechanics, in this paper we discuss some facts on generalized Gibbs states and on their related KMS-like conditions. To achieve this, we first consider some useful connections between similar (Hamiltonian) operators and we propose some extended version of the Heisenberg algebraic dynamics, deducing some of their properties, useful for our purposes.

Some invariant biorthogonal sets with an application to coherent states

We show how to construct, out of a certain basis invariant under the action of one or more unitary operators, a second biorthogonal set with similar properties. In particular, we discuss conditions for this new set to be also a basis of the Hilbert space, and we apply the procedure to coherent states. We conclude the paper considering a simple application of our construction to pseudo-hermitian quantum mechanics.

MODULI DI BANACH SU C*-ALGEBRE: Rappresentazioni Hilbertiane ed in spazi Lp non commutativi

La teoria delle *-rappresentazioni delle *-algebre localmente convesse o normate costituisce un argomento classico di cui dà conto una vasta letteratura. Le C*- algebre costituiscono sicuramente la classe di *-algebre di Banach per la quale la teoria delle rappresentazioni fornisce, probabilmente, i risultati più profondi ed importanti per le applicazioni. Nel 1964 R. Haag e D. Kastler formularono, in un celebre lavoro, il cosiddetto approccio algebrico alle teorie quantistiche per sistemi con infiniti gradi di libertà. In esso, ad una regione limitata dello spazio delle configurazioni del sistema, si associa la C*-algebra delle osservabili locali. L’unione di tutte queste C*-algebre costis…

Moreover, it is shown that any (strongly) *-semisimple proper CQ*-algebra (X ,A), with A a separable C*-algebra, can be represented as a CQ*-algebra of type Tp.

WQ*-algebras of measurable operators

Every C*-algebra \(\mathfrak{A}\) has a faithful *-representation π in a Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}\). Consequently it is natural to pose the following question: under which conditions, the completion of a C*-algebra in a weaker than the given one topology, can be realized as a quasi *-algebra of operators? The present paper presents the possibility of extending the well known Gelfand — Naimark representation of C*-algebras to certain Banach C*-modules.

CQ *-algebras of measurable operators over a finite von Neumann algebra are also constructed and it is proven that any abstract CQ*-algebra $(\X,\Ao)$ possessing a sufficient family of bounded positive tracial sesquilinear forms can be represented as a CQ*-algebra of this type.
