Non-symmetric Dirichlet forms on semifinite von Neumann algebras (Q1908165)

The authors generalize the theory of non-symmetric Dirichlet forms to the non-Abelian case, also establishing correspondences among Dirichlet forms, sub-Markovian semigroups and sub-Markovian resolvents. They also study closed derivations on Hilbert algebras which satisfy the so-called non-Abelian chain rule. Examples of non-symmetric Dirichlet forms are given by using certain derivations on Hilbert algebras.
