On the q-analogues of the Zassenhaus formula for disentangling exponential operators.

Publication date 20 November 2003

Abstract: Katriel, Rasetti and Solomon introduced a

q

-analogue of the Zassenhaus formula written as

e_{q}^{(A + B)}

=

e_{q}^{A} e_{q}^{B} e_{q}^{c_{2}} e_{q}^{c_{3}} e_{q}^{c_{4}} e_{q}^{c_{5}} ...

, where

A

and

B

are two generally noncommuting operators and

e_{q}^{z}

is the Jackson

q

-exponential, and derived the expressions for

c_{2}

,

c_{3}

and

c_{4}

. It is shown that one can also write

e_{q}^{(A + B)}

=

e_{q}^{A} e_{q}^{B} e_{q^{2}}^{C_{2}} e_{q^{3}}^{C_{3}} e_{q^{4}}^{C_{4}} e_{q^{5}}^{C_{5}} ...

. Explicit expressions for

C_{2}

,

C_{3}

and

C_{4}

are given.

A new extension for the \(q\)-Zassenhaus formula obtained by Katriel et al has been found.
