Abstract

The main goal of the present paper is to generalize the results of~\cite{TroLNM,TroBoch} in the following way: To be able to define $K_0(A)\o\C$-valued Lefschetz numbers of the first type of an endomorphism $V$ on a C*-elliptic complex one usually assumes that $V=T_g$ for some representation $T_g$ of a compact group $G$ on the C*-elliptic complex. We try to refuse this restriction in the present paper. The price to pay for this is twofold: (i) $ $ We have to define Lefschetz numbers valued in some larger group as $K_0(A)\o\C$. (ii) We have to deal with W*-algebras instead of general unital C*-algebras. To obtain these results we have got a number of by-product facts on the theory of Hilbert W*- and C*-modules and on bounded module operators on them which are of independent interest.

Isomorphism classes for quantum Heisenberg manifolds

We embed the quantum Heisenberg manifold in a crossed product algebra. This enables us to show that, in the irrational case, all tracial states on $\dc$ induce the same homomorphism on the K_0-group. We conclude that two irrational quantum Heisenberg manifolds $\dc$ and $D^c_{μ' ν'}$ are isomorphic if and only if the parameters $(μ,ν)$ and $(μ',ν')$ belong to the same orbit under the usual action of $GL_2(\ZZ)$ on the torus.

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.
