Free joinings of C^*-dynamical systems

Abstract: Joinings of C*-dynamical systems are defined in terms of free products of C*-algebras, as an analogue of joinings of classical dynamical systems. We then consider disjointness in this context, in particular for ergodic versus identity systems. Lastly we show how multi-time correlation functions appearing in quantum statistical mechanics naturally fit into this joining framework.


The paper uses free products, and reduced free products, of \(C^*\)-algebras to define two notions of joinings of \(C^*\) dynamical systems. Some differences of this approach from an earlier approach based on tensor products are noted. Ergodicity and disjointness are examined from the point of view of free joinings. The paper closes with an example of how this approach can be applied to the study of multi-time correlation functions in quantum statistical physics.
