From \((n+1)\)-level atom chains to \(n\)-dimensional noises (Q2485318): Difference between revisions

In quantum physics, the state space of a countable chain of \((n+1)\)-level atoms becomes, in the continuous field limit, a Fock space with multiplicity \(n\). In a more functional analytic language, the continuous product space over \(\mathbb{R}^+\) of copies of the space \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) is the symmetric Fock space \(\Gamma_s(L^2 (\mathbb{R}^+;\mathbb{C}^n)\). In this article the authors focus on the probabilistic interpretations of these facts. The authors show that they correspond to the approximation of the \(n\)-dimensional normal martingales by means of obtuse random walks, that is, extremal random walks in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) whose jumps take exactly \(n+1\) different values. The authors show that these probabilistic approximations are carried by the convergence of the matrix basis \(a^i_j(p)\) of \(\bigotimes_\mathbb{N}\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) to the usual creation, annihilation and gauge processes on the Fock space.
