Nonlinear Commutation Relations: Representations by Point-Supported Operators

We present a class of non-Lie commutation relations admitting representations by point-supported operators (i.e., by operators whose integral kernels are generalized point-supported functions). For such relations we construct all operator-irreducible representations (up to equivalence). Each representation is realized by point-supported operators in the Hilbert space of antiholomorphic functions. We show that the reproducing kernels of these spaces can be represented via hypergeometric series and the theta function, as well as via their modifications. We construct coherent states that intertwine abstract representations with irreducible representations.     

A different quantum stochastic calculus for the Poisson process

Summary We show that a gradient operator defined by perturbations of the Poisson process jump times can be used with its adjoint operator instead of the annihilation and creation operators on the Poisson-Charlier chaotic decomposition to represent the Poisson process. The quantum stochastic integration and the Itô formula are developed accordingly, leading to commutation relations which are different from the CCR. An analog of the Weyl representation is defined for a subgroup ofSL(2, ), showing that the exponential and geometric distributions are closely related in this approach.     

Gaussian kernel operators on white noise functional spaces

The Gaussian kernel operators on white noise functional spaces, including second quantization, Fourier-Mehler transform, scaling, renormalization, etc. are studied by means of symbol calculus, and characterized by the intertwining relations with annihilation and creation operators. The infinitesimal generators of the Gaussian kernel operators are second order white noise operators of which the number operator and the Gross Laplacian are particular examples.     

Characterization of the QWN-conservation operator and applications

Based on the finding that the quantum white noise (QWN) conservation operator is a Wick derivation operator acting on white noise operators, we characterize the aforementioned operator by using an extended techniques of rotation invariance operators in a first place. In a second place, we use a new idea of commutation relations with respect to the QWN-derivatives. Eventually, we use the action on the number operator. As applications, we invest these results to study three types of Wick differential equations.     

On periodic matrix-valued Weyl-Titchmarsh functions

We consider a certain class of Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions which can be realized as the Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function of some symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension. New properties of Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued functions as well as a new version of the functional model for such realizations are presented. In the case of periodic Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions, we provide a complete characterization of their realizations in terms of the corresponding functional model. We also obtain properties of a symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension which generate a periodic Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function. We study pairs of operators (a symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension) with constant Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued functions and establish connections between such pairs of operators and representations of the canonical commutation relations for unitary groups of operators in Weyl's form. As a consequence of such an approach, we obtain the Stone-von Neumann theorem for two unitary groups of operators satisfying the commutation relations as well as some extension and refinement of the classical functional model for generators of those groups. Our examples include multiplication operators in weighted spaces, first and second order differential operators, as well as the Schrödinger operator with linear potential and its perturbation by bounded periodic potential.     

Algebra with Quadratic Commutation Relations for an Axially Perturbed Coulomb–Dirac Field

The motion of a particle in the field of an electromagnetic monopole (in the Coulomb–Dirac field) perturbed by an axially symmetric potential after quantum averaging is described by an integrable system. Its Hamiltonian can be written in terms of the generators of an algebra with quadratic commutation relations. We construct the irreducible representations of this algebra in terms of second-order differential operators; we also construct its hypergeometric coherent states. We use these states in the first-order approximation with respect to the perturbing field to obtain the integral representation of the eigenfunctions of the original problem in terms of solutions of the model Heun-type second-order ordinary differential equation and present the asymptotic approximation of the corresponding eigenvalues.     

Dissipative and nonunitary solutions of operator commutation relations

We study the (generalized) semi-Weyl commutation relations U_gAU* _g = g(A) on Dom(A), where A is a densely defined operator and G ? g ? U_g is a unitary representation of the subgroup G of the affine group G, the group of affine orientation-preserving transformations of the real axis. If A is a symmetric operator, then the group G induces an action/flow on the operator unit ball of contracting transformations from Ker(A* - iI) to Ker(A* + iI). We establish several fixed-point theorems for this flow. In the case of one-parameter continuous subgroups of linear transformations, self-adjoint (maximal dissipative) operators associated with the fixed points of the flow yield solutions of the (restricted) generalized Weyl commutation relations. We show that in the dissipative setting, the restricted Weyl relations admit a variety of representations that are not unitarily equivalent. For deficiency indices (1, 1), the basic results can be strengthened and set in a separate case.     

Factorization of nonlinear supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. III: precise classification of irreducible intertwining operators

In this part of the work, we present a detailed classification of first order intertwining operators and of really irreducible intertwining second order operators of I, II, and III types. This classification is constructed in dependence of kernel structures of these operators and relations between spectra of intertwined Hamiltonians. It was shown earlier that one can construct from such operators any intertwining operator of arbitrary order with the help of chain (ladder) construction. Bibliography: 25 titles.     

Coherent Transforms and Irreducible Representations Corresponding to Complex Structures on a Cylinder and on a Torus

We study a class of algebras with non-Lie commutation relations whose symplectic leaves are surfaces of revolution: a cylinder or a torus. Over each of such surfaces we introduce a family of complex structures and Hilbert spaces of antiholomorphic sections in which the irreducible Hermitian representations of the original algebra are realized. The reproducing kernels of these spaces are expressed in terms of the Riemann theta function and its modifications. They generate quantum Kähler structures on the surface and the corresponding quantum reproducing measures. We construct coherent transforms intertwining abstract representations of an algebra with irreducible representations, and these transforms are also expressed via the theta function.     

Deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection and <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-orthogonal polynomials

This paper is devoted to the study of matrix elements of irreducible representations of the enveloping deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection, motivated by recurrence relations satisfied by hypergeometric functions. It is shown that the matrix elements of a suitable operator given as a product of exponential functions are expressed in terms of d-orthogonal polynomials, which are reduced to the orthogonal Meixner polynomials when d = 1. The underlying algebraic framework allowed a systematic derivation of the recurrence relations, difference equation, lowering and rising operators and generating functions which these polynomials satisfy.     

Integrable Potentials by Darboux Transformations in Rings and Quantum and Classical Problems

We study a problem in associative rings of left and right factorization of a polynomial differential operator regarded as an evolution operator. In a direct sum of rings, the polynomial arising in the problem of dividing an operator by an operator for two commuting operators leads to a time-dependent left/right Darboux transformation based on an intertwining relation and either Miura maps or generalized Burgers equations. The intertwining relations lead to a differential equation including differentiations in a weak sense. In view of applications to operator problems in quantum and classical mechanics, we derive the direct quasideterminant or dressing chain formulas. We consider the transformation of creation and annihilation operators for specified matrix rings and study an example of the Dicke model.     

Integral Kernel Operators on Fock Space – Generalizations and Applications to Quantum Dynamics

A general theory of operators on Boson Fock space is discussed in terms of the white noise distribution theory on Gaussian space (white noise calculus). An integral kernel operator is generalized from two aspects: (i) The use of an operator-valued distribution as an integral kernel leads us to the Fubini type theorem which allows an iterated integration in an integral kernel operator. As an application a white noise approach to quantum stochastic integrals is discussed and a quantum Hitsuda–Skorokhod integral is introduced. (ii) The use of pointwise derivatives of annihilation and creation operators assures the partial integration in an integral kernel operator. In particular, the particle flux density becomes a distribution with values in continuous operators on white noise functions and yields a representation of a Lie algebra of vector fields by means of such operators.     

Connection of fields quantized in overlapping regions and the Unruh effect

For the example of a field quantized for positive values of the spatial coordinate (when particle creation certainly cannot occur) it is shown that incorrect use of the formula for the creation and annihilation operators leads to a transformation from the creation and annihilation operators to those in Minkowski space that corresponds to particle creation. It is shown that the connection of fields quantized in the Minkowski and Rindler spaces has an analogous nature, i.e., a creation effect cannot be observed in the Rindler space. The correspondence between subspaces of states of these fields is considered.Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Moscow State University.

Local Gaussian Dominance: An Anharmonic Excitation of Free Bosons

We prove the local Gaussian dominance condition for a Bose system whose Hamiltonian is diagonal with respect to the particle number operators. The proof is based on obtaining an upper bound estimate for the Bogoliubov inner product of the Bose creation and annihilation operators.     

Representations of centrally-extended Lie algebras over differential operators and vertex algebras

We construct irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras over left ideals of the algebra of differential operators on the circle, through certain irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries. The structures of vertex algebras associated with the vacuum representations of these algebras are determined. Moreover, we prove that under certain conditions, the highest-weight irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries naturally give rise to the irreducible modules of the simple quotients of these vertex algebras. From vertex algebra and its representation point of view, our results with positive integral central charge are high-order differential operator analogues of the well-known WZW models in conformal field theory associated with affine Kac-Moody algebras. Indeed, when the left ideals are the algebra of differential operators, our Lie algebras do contain affine Kac-Moody algebras as subalgebras and our results restricted on them are exactly the representation contents in WZW models. Similar results with negative central charge are also obtained.     

A Family of Irreducible Representations of the Witt Lie Algebra with Infinite-Dimensional Weight Spaces

We define a 4-parameter family of generically irreducible and inequivalent representations of the Witt Lie algebra on which the infinitesimal rotation operator acts semisimply with infinite-dimensional eigenspaces. They are deformations of the (generically indecomposable) representations on spaces of polynomial differential operators between two spaces of tensor densities on S ¹, which are constructed by composing each such differential operator with the action of a rotation by a fixed angle.     

Commutation relations and Markov chains

It is shown that the combinatorics of commutation relations is well suited for analyzing the convergence rate of certain Markov chains. Examples studied include random walk on irreducible representations, a local random walk on partitions whose stationary distribution is the Ewens distribution, and some birth–death chains.     

Symmetric Hilbert spaces arising from species of structures

Symmetric Hilbert spaces such as the bosonic and the fermionic Fock spaces over some lsquo;one particle space’ are formed by certain symmetrization procedures performed on the full Fock space. We investigate alternative ways of symmetrization by building on Joyal's notion of a combinatorial species. Any such species F gives rise to an endofunctor of the category of Hilbert spaces with contractions mapping a Hilbert space to a symmetric Hilbert space with the same symmetry as the species F. A general framework for annihilation and creation operators on these spaces is developed, and compared to the generalised Brownian motions of R. Speicher and M. Bożejko. As a corollary we find that the commutation relation with admits a realization on a symmetric Hilbert space whenever f has a power series with infinite radius of convergence and positive coefficients.

Branching problems for semisimple Lie groups and reproducing kernels

For a semisimple Lie group G satisfying the equal rank condition, the most basic family of unitary irreducible representations is the discrete series found by Harish-Chandra. In this paper, we study some of the branching laws for these when restricted to a subgroup H of the same type by combining the classical results with the recent work of T. Kobayashi. We analyze aspects of having differential operators being symmetry-breaking operators; in particular, we prove in the so-called admissible case that every symmetry breaking (H-map) operator is a differential operator. We prove discrete decomposability under Harish-Chandra's condition of cusp form on the reproducing kernels. Our techniques are based on realizing discrete series representations as kernels of elliptic invariant differential operators.     

The Higher Spin Laplace Operator

This paper deals with a certain class of second-order conformally invariant operators acting on functions taking values in particular (finite-dimensional) irreducible representations of the orthogonal group. These operators can be seen as a generalisation of the Laplace operator to higher spin as well as a second-order analogue of the Rarita-Schwinger operator. To construct these operators, we will use the framework of Clifford analysis, a multivariate function theory in which arbitrary irreducible representations for the orthogonal group can be realised in terms of polynomials satisfying a system of differential equations. As a consequence, the functions on which this particular class of operators act are functions taking values in the space of harmonics homogeneous of degree k. We prove the ellipticity of these operators and use this to investigate their kernel, focusing on polynomial solutions. Finally, we will also construct the fundamental solution using the theory of Riesz potentials.
