Hölder norm estimates for elliptic operators on finite and infinite-dimensional spaces

We introduce a new method for proving the estimate

where solves the equation . The method can be applied to the Laplacian on . It also allows us to obtain similar estimates when we replace the Laplacian by an infinite-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator or other elliptic operators. These operators arise naturally in martingale problems arising from measure-valued branching diffusions and from stochastic partial differential equations.

     

Singular continuous Floquet operator for periodic quantum systems

Consider the Floquet operator of a time independent quantum system, acting on a separable Hilbert space, periodically perturbed by a rank one kick: e−iH₀Te−iκT|?〉〈?| where T is the period, κ the coupling constant, and H₀ is a pure point self-adjoint operator, bounded from below. Under some hypotheses on the vector ?, cyclic w.r.t. H₀ we prove the following:

•

If the gaps between the eigenvalues (λn) are such that λn+1−λn?Cn−γ for some γ∈]0,1[ and C>0, then the Floquet operator of the perturbed system is purely singular continuous T-a.e.

•

If H₀ is the Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional rotator on L²(R/T₀Z) and the ratio is irrational, then the Floquet operator is purely singular continuous as soon as κT≠0(2π).

We also establish an integral formula for the family .     

Polarization Tomography of Quantum Radiation: Theoretical Aspects and Operator Approach

We present theoretical foundations for the quantum tomography of polarization states of light fields as a method for measuring their polarization density operator , which characterizes only the polarization degrees of freedom of the radiation. We mainly attend to the method in which the tomographic observables (the “measurement instruments”) are polarizable in nature. We show that the quantum nature of this method can be adequately expressed using the quasispectral tomographic decompositions of in special operator bases, which are finite sums of partially orthogonal projection operators determining the probability distributions of tomographic observables as the decomposition coefficients. We obtain the matrix versions of such “tomographic” representations of , in particular, by projecting them on semiclassical operator bases determining the polarization quasiprobability functions. We briefly discuss the information aspects of the schemes considered in the paper. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 145, No. 3, pp. 344–357, December, 2005.     

Integral Formulas for the Minimal Representation of O(p,2)

The minimal representation of O(p,q) (p+q: even) is realized on the Hilbert space of square integrable functions on the conical subvariety of R^p+q–2. This model presents a close resemblance of the Schrödinger model of the Segal–Shale–Weil representation of the metaplectic group. We shall give explicit integral formulas for the inversion together with the analytic continuation to a certain semigroup of O(p+2,C) of the minimal representation of O(p,2) by using Bessel functions.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) primary 22E30; secondary 22E46, 20M20, 43A80.     

Some results for non-linear elliptic problems with mixed boundary conditions

We prove existence and uniqueness results for non-linear elliptic equations with lower order terms, L¹ data, and mixed boundary conditions that include as particular cases the Dirichlet and the Neumann problems. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 35J25, 35D05, 35J70, 35J60

Totally hereditarily normaloid operators and Weyl's theorem for an elementary operator

A Hilbert space operator T∈B(H) is hereditarily normaloid (notation: T∈HN) if every part of T is normaloid. An operator T∈HN is totally hereditarily normaloid (notation: T∈THN) if every invertible part of T is normaloid. We prove that THN-operators with Bishop's property (β), also THN-contractions with a compact defect operator such that and non-zero isolated eigenvalues of T are normal, are not supercyclic. Take A and B in THN and let dAB denote either of the elementary operators in B(B(H)): ΔAB and δAB, where ΔAB(X)=AXB−X and δAB(X)=AX−XB. We prove that if non-zero isolated eigenvalues of A and B are normal and , then dAB is an isoloid operator such that the quasi-nilpotent part H₀(dAB−λ) of dAB−λ equals ⁻¹(dAB−λ)(0) for every complex number λ which is isolated in σ(dAB). If, additionally, dAB has the single-valued extension property at all points not in the Weyl spectrum of dAB, then dAB, and the conjugate operator , satisfy Weyl's theorem.
