Abstract

This revised version corrects some substancial errors in the proofs. The old proofs were only valid for (finite dimensional) * (finite dimensional). The scope of the results remains the same, however for type I_\infty algebras, the results of the original version were incorrect.

Quantum Mechanics and Operator algebras on the Hilbert ball

Cirelli, Manià and Pizzocchero generalized quantum mechanics by Kähler geometry. Furthermore they proved that any unital C$^{*}$-algebra is represented as a function algebra on the set of pure states with a noncommutative $*$-product as an application. The ordinary quantum mechanics is regarded as a dynamical system of the projective Hilbert space ${\cal P}({\cal H})$ of a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$. The space ${\cal P}({\cal H})$ is an infinite dimensional Kähler manifold of positive constant holomorphic sectional curvature. In general, such dynamical system is constructed for a general Kähler manifold of nonzero constant holomorphic sectional curvature $c$. The Hilbert ball $B_{\cal H}$ is defined by the open unit ball in ${\cal H}$ and it is a Kähler manifold with $c<0$. We introduce the quantum mechanics on $B_{\cal H}$. As an application, we show the structure of the noncommutative function algebra on $B_{\cal H}$.

No More Than Mechanics. I

One can introduce so-called {\em Plain Mechanics} having an {\bf operator realization}. Then the set of one-dimension representations of this operator realization may be identified with the Classical Mechanics. Different irreducible infinite-dimension representations may be recognized as Quantum Mechanics for different $\hbar$ (the Planck constant). It can be done in the such manner that the following diagram will be commutative. Plain Mechanics / \ / \ / \ Quantum Mechanics --> Classical Mechanics h->0 Here the horizontal arrow is well known correspondence between Quantum and Classical Mechanics if Planck constant tensing to zero. A {\em realization} of this scheme for a particle in $n$-dimensional space by two-sided convolutions on the Heisenberg group is constructed. We also introduce the {\em motion equations} for observables in this realization. The left arrow of the given diagram carries this equation to the Heisenberg one and the right arrow maps it to the Hamilton equation.

Relative Convolutions. I. Properties and Applications

To study operator algebras with symmetries in a wide sense we introduce a notion of {\em relative convolution operators} induced by a Lie algebra. Relative convolutions recover many important classes of operators, which have been already studied (operators of multiplication, usual group convolutions, two-sided convolution etc.) and their different combinations. Basic properties of relative convolutions are given and a connection with usual convolutions is established. Presented examples show that relative convolutions provide us with a base for systematical applications of harmonic analysis to PDO theory, complex and hypercomplex analysis, coherent states, wavelet transform and quantum theory. KEYWORDS: Lie groups and algebras, convolution operator, representation theory, Heisenberg group, integral representations, Hardy space, Szegö projector, Toeplitz operators, Fock space, Segal--Bargmann space, Bargmann projector, Dirac equation, Clifford analysis, coherent states, wavelet transform, quantization.
