Banach Partial *-Algebras and Quantum Models

2007

C*-algebras are, as known, the basic mathematical ingredient of the Haag- Kastler (Haag and Kastler 1964) algebraic approach to quantum systems, with infinitely many degrees of freedom. The usual procedure starts, in fact, with associating to each bounded region V of the configuration space of the system the C*-algebra AV of local observables in V. The uniform completion A of the algebra generated by the AV ’s is then considered as the C*-algebra of observables of the system

Ultrafast Carrier Redistribution in Single InAs Quantum Dots Mediated by Wetting-Layer Dynamics

2019

Optical studies of single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been a topic of intensive investigation over the past two decades. Due to their solid-state nature, their electronic and optical emission properties are affected by the particular crystal structure as well as many-body-carrier interactions and dynamics. In this work, we use a master equation for microstates (MEM) model to study the carrier capture and escape from single QDs under optical nonresonant excitation and under the influence of a two-dimensional (2D) carrier reservoir (the wetting layer). This model reproduces carrier dynamics from power-dependent and time-resolved microphotoluminescence experiments . Du…

Extension of representations in quasi *-algebras

2009

Let $(A, A_o)$ be a topological quasi *-algebra, which means in particular that $A_o$ is a topological *-algebra, dense in $A$. Let $\pi^o$ be a *-representation of $A_o$ in some pre-Hilbert space ${\cal D} \subset {\cal H}$. Then we present several ways of extending $\pi^o$, by closure, to some larger quasi *-algebra contained in $A$, either by Hilbert space operators, or by sesquilinear forms on ${\cal D}$. Explicit examples are discussed, both abelian and nonabelian, including the CCR algebra.

Locally Convex Quasi *-Algebras and their Representations

2020

This book is a review of the work the authors have done in the past 20 years on the theory of locally convex quasi *-algebras

Applications of topological *-algebras of unbounded operators to modified quons

2002

In this paper we discuss some applications of topological *-algebras of unbounded operators to what we call Modified Quons (MQ). In particular, the existence of the thermodynamical limit for some models of free and interacting modified quons is proved in the same framework proposed by the author in a recent paper for ordinary bosons.

States and representations of CQ∗ -algebras

1994

A class of quasi *-algebras which exhibits some analogy with C*-algebras is studied. The extension of some properties of C*-algebras which are relevant for physical applications (such as the GNS-representation) is discussed. Quasi *-algebras of linear operators in rigged Hilbert space are shown to be typical examples of the developed framework.

Norm continuity and related notions for semigroups on Banach spaces

1996

We find some conditions on a c0-semigroup on a Banach space and its resolvent connected with the norm continuity of the semigroup. We use them to get characterizations of norm continuous, eventually norm continuous and eventually compact semigroups on Hilbert spaces in terms of the growth of the resolvent of their generator.

Modular Structures on Trace Class Operators and Applications to Landau Levels

2009

The energy levels, generally known as the Landau levels, which characterize the motion of an electron in a constant magnetic field, are those of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, with each level being infinitely degenerate. We show in this paper how the associated von Neumann algebra of observables displays a modular structure in the sense of the Tomita–Takesaki theory, with the algebra and its commutant referring to the two orientations of the magnetic field. A Kubo–Martin–Schwinger state can be built which, in fact, is the Gibbs state for an ensemble of harmonic oscillators. Mathematically, the modular structure is shown to arise as the natural modular structure associated with the…
