Noncommutative dynamics and E-semigroups

From MaRDI portal





In the present book, noncommutative dynamic means the dynamics of quantum systems represented by a one-parameter-group of automorphisms of a noncommutative algebra of observables, primarily this is the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Such dynamics is connected with one-parameter semigroups \(\{\alpha_t:t\geq 0\}\) of normal \(*\)-endomorphisms of a von Neumann algebra, called \(E\)-semigroups. An \(E\)-semigroup satisfying \(\alpha_t(\mathbf{1})= \text\textbf{1}\) for all \(t\geq 0\) is called \(E_0\)-semigroup. Like von Neumann algebras, \(E_0\)-semigroups are divided into three types: I, II, III. This subject makes contact with such areas of current interest as field theory, the dynamics of open quantum systems, probability theory, commutative and noncommutative. Mainly, ``the book elaborates on what the author sees as the important aspects of what has been learned about \(E_0\)-semigroups during the past fifteen years. The book consists of five main parts: Part 1. Index and perturbation theory. \(E\)-semigroups, the CAR/CCR flows, continuous tensor products, spectral \(C^*\)-algebras, amenability. Part 2. Classification: type I cases. Path spaces, exactness of additive cocycles, classification of metric path spaces, decomposable product spaces, classification of \(E_0\)-semigroups. Part 3. Noncommutative Laplacians. CP-semigroups, harmonic analysis of the commutative relations, \(C^*\)-generators and dilation theory, hierarchy of dilations, existence of dilations, index theory for CP-semigroups, bounded generators. Part 4. Causuality and dynamics. Pure perturbations of CAR/CCR flows, ergodicity versus purity in matrix, algebras, interaction theory. Part 5. Type III examples. Powers' examples. Tsirelson-Vershik product spaces, product systems of type III.
