Noncommutative Sobolev spaces, \(C^\infty\) algebras and Schwartz distributions associated with semicircular systems (Q1425474): Difference between revisions

Summary: When the \(C^*\)-algebra and the \(W^*\)-algebra generated by a semicircular system are viewed from the viewpoints of noncommutative topology and noncommutative probability theory, we may consider the \(C^*\)-algebra as a certain kind of a ``noncommutative cubic space'' and the \(W^*\)-algebra as a ``noncommutative cubic measure space.'' In this paper, we introduce the Sobolev spaces \(W^p_n\) associated with the \(W^*\)-algebra generated by a semicircular system and the \(C^\infty\) algebra \({\mathcal S}\) is defined as the projective limit of \(W^p_n\). The Schwartz distribution space is then defined as the dual space of \({\mathcal S}\) and the Fourier representation theorem is obtained for Schwartz distributions. We furthermore discuss vector fields on the \(C^\infty\) algebra \({\mathcal S}\). The appendix treats the \(K\)-theory of the noncommutative cubic space.
