Ballistic Speed and Potential-Theoretic Recurrence for Homogeneous Open Quantum Random Walks

Our study connects root-mean-square ballistic transport to potential-theoretic recurrence for finite-range open quantum random walks. In homogeneous walks with primitive local channels, finitely many simple periodic Fourier peripheral eigenvalues, no nonzero stationary Fourier mode, and a nondegenerate quadratic spectral term, we prove a periodic uniform local limit theorem and recover exponential finite-set return bounds for nonzero drift. The centered case yields strong Green-function asymptotics in at least three dimensions, as well as potential-kernel asymptotics in one and two dimensions. According to these assumptions, the RMS ballistic speed equals the drift norm, nonzero drift indicates transience, and centered walks are recurring in effective dimensions one and two but transitory in higher dimensions. The low-dimensional finding shows a recurrence of the origin projection in TOM. For reducible walks, an explicit harmonic $h$-transform converts each absorption component to an OQRW, providing a detailed breakdown of Green occupation potentials. The squared RMS speed is the absorption-weighted mean of squared component drifts, but the reduced drift-dimension classification also needs specific component return estimations. A centered noncommuting family validates the fundamental spectral assumptions in all dimensions and provides explicit potential constants. Exact finite traps and sparse reflecting barriers provide a complementary nonhomogeneous method for zero speed and TOM recurrence.

Dominance and equivalence for states on $C^*$-algebras: Quasi-Invariant states

We study the noncommutative generalization of measure-theoretic dominance and equivalence of states on $C^*$-algebras to explore quasi-invariance under group actions. For a dominated state, we derive an unbounded "Radon-Nikodym" derivative affiliated with the commutant algebra of the dominating state's GNS representation. Interestingly, this dominance is generally non-transitive because the product of the corresponding closed operators can be non-closable. When looking at group actions by $*$-automorphisms, the orbit of a fixed quasi-invariant state consists entirely of mutually equivalent states. However, the orbit closure may contain singular states, meaning the set of quasi-invariant states is closed under convex combinations but not topologically closed. The paper also provides a unitary implementation of the group action on the GNS Hilbert space-generalizing covariant representations and compares this approach with the Pedersen-Takesaki construction, where the Radon-Nikodym derivative sits in the centraliser instead of the commutant.

Quasi-stationary normal states for quantum Markov semigroups

We introduce the notion of Quasi-Stationary State (QSS) in the context of quantum Markov semigroups that generalizes the one of quasi-stationary distribution in the case of classical Markov chains. We provide an operational interpretation of QSSs using the theory of direct and indirect quantum measurements. Moreover, we prove that there is a connection between QSSs and spectral properties of the quantum Markov semigroup. Finally, we discuss some examples which, despite their simplicity, already show interesting features.

Quasi-invariant states with uniformly bounded cocycles

We investigate the notion of quasi-invariant states introduced in [2, 3] from an analytic viewpoint.We give the structures of quasi-invariant states with uniformly bounded cocycles. As a consequence, we can apply a Theorem of Kovacs and Szucs to get a conditional expectation on fixed points and another of Stormer to get an invariant semifinite trace under extra assumptions.

Group of automorphisms for strongly quasi invariant states

For a $*$-automorphism group $G$ on a $C^*$- or von Neumann algebra, we study the $G$-quasi invariant states and their properties. The $G$-quasi invariance or $G$-strongly quasi invariance are weaker than the $G$-invariance and have wide applications. We develop several properties for $G$-strongly quasi invariant states. Many of them are the extensions of the already developed theories for $G$-invariant states. Among others, we consider the relationship between the group $G$ and modular automorphism group, invariant subalgebras, ergodicity, modular theory, and abelian subalgebras. We provide with some examples to support the results.

Martingales associated with strongly quasi-invariant states

We discuss the martingales in relevance with $G$-strongly quasi-invariant states on a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$, where $G$ is a separable locally compact group of $*$-automorphisms of $\mathcal A$. In the von Neumann algebra $\mathfrak A$ of the GNS representation, we define a unitary representation of the group and define a group $\hat G$ of $*$-automorphisms of $\mathfrak A$, which is homomorphic to $G$. For the case of compact $G$, under some mild condition, we find a $\hat G$-invariant state on $\mathfrak A$ and define a conditional expectation with range the $\hat G$-fixed subalgebra. Moving to the separable locally compact group $G=\cup_NG_N$, which is the union of increasing compact groups, we construct a sequence of conditional expectations and thereby construct (decreasing) martingales, which have limits by the martingale convergence theorem. We provide with an example for the group of finite permutations on the set of nonnegative integers acting on a $C^*$-algebra of infinite tensor product.

Quasi-invariant states

We develop the theory of quasi--invariant (resp. strongly quasi--invariant) states under the action of a group $G$ of normal $*$--automorphisms of a $*$--algebra (or von Neumann alegbra) $\mathcal{A}$. We prove that these states are naturally associated to left--$G$--$1$--cocycles. If $G$ is compact, the structure of strongly $G$--quasi--invariant states is determined. For any $G$--strongly quasi--invariant state $φ$, we construct a unitary representation associated to the triple $(\mathcal{A},G,φ)$. We prove, under some conditions, that any quantum Markov chain with commuting, invertible and hermitean conditional density amplitudes on a countable tensor product of type I factors is strongly quasi--invariant with respect to the natural action of the group $\mathcal{S}_{\infty}$ of local permutations and we give the explicit form of the associated cocycle. This provides a family of non--trivial examples of strongly quasi--invariant states for locally compact groups obtained as inductive limit of an increasing sequence of compact groups.

Lévy processes on the Lorentz-Lie algebra

Lévy processes in the sense of Schürmann on the Lie algebra of the Lorentz grouop are studied. It is known that only one of the irreducible unitary representations of the Lorentz group admits a non-trivial one-cocycle. A Schürmann triple is constructed for this cocycle and the properties of the associated Lévy process are investigated. The decommpositions of the restrictions of this triple to the Lie subalgebras $so(3)$ and $so(2,1)$ are described.

Quadratic Open Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

We study the quantum open system evolution described by a Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad generator with creation and annihilation operators arising in Fock representations of the $sl_2$ Lie algebra. We show that any initial density matrix evolves to a fully supported density matrix and converges towards a unique equilibrium state. We show that the convergence is exponentially fast and we exactly compute the rate for a wide range of parameters. We also discuss the connection with the two-photon absorption and emission process.

Quantum Markov chains associated with open quantum random walks

In this paper we construct (nonhomogeneous) quantum Markov chains associated with open quantum random walks. The quantum Markov chain, like the classical Markov chain, is a fundamental tool for the investigation of the basic properties such as reducibility/irreducibility, recurrence/transience, accessibility, ergodicity, etc, of the underlying dynamics. Here we focus on the discussion of the reducibility and irreducibility of open quantum random walks via the corresponding quantum Markov chains. Particularly we show that the concept of reducibility/irreducibility of open quantum random walks in this approach is equivalent to the one previously done by Carbone and Pautrat. We provide with some examples. We will see also that the classical Markov chains can be reconstructed as quantum Markov chains.

Multivariate orthogonal polynomials: quantum decomposition, deficiency rank and support of measure

In this paper we investigate the multivariate orthogonal polynomials based on the theory of interacting Fock spaces. Our framework is on the same stream line of the recent paper by Accardi, Barhoumi, and Dhahri \cite{ABD}. The (classical) coordinate variables are decomposed into non-commuting (quantum) operators called creation, annihilation, and preservation operators, in the interacting Fock spaces. Getting the commutation relations, which follow from the commuting property of the coordinate variables between themselves, we can develop the reconstruction theory of the measure, namely the Favard's theorem. We then further develop some related problems including the marginal distributions and the rank theory of the Jacobi operators. We will see that the deficiency rank of the Jacobi operator implies that the underlying measure is supported on some algebraic surface and vice versa. We will provide with some examples.

Open Quantum Random Walks, Quantum Markov Chains and Recurrence

In the present paper, we construct QMCs associated with Open Quantum Random Walks such that the transition operator of the chain is defined by OQRW and the restriction of QMC to the commutative subalgebra coincides with the distribution $P_ρ$ of OQRW. This sheds new light on some properties of the measure $P_ρ$. As an example, we simply mention that the measure can be considered as a distribution of some functions of certain Markov process. Furthermore, we study several properties of QMC and associated measure. A new notion of $\f$-recurrence of QMC is studied, and it is established relations between the defined recurrence and the existing ones.

Identification of the theory of multidimensional orthogonal polynomials with the theory of symmetric interacting Fock spaces with finite dimensional one particle space

The identification mentioned in the title allows a formulation of the multidi mensional Favard Lemma different from the ones currently used in the literature and which exactly parallels the original one dimensional formulation in the sense that the positive Jacobi sequence is replaced by a sequence of positive Hermitean (square) matrices and the real Jacobi sequence by a sequence of Hermitean matri ces of the same dimension. Moreover, in this identification, the multidimensional extension of the compatibility condition for the positive Jacobi sequence becomes the condition which guarantees the existence of the creator in an interacting Fock space. The above result opens the way to the program of a purely algebraic clas sification of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite moments of any order. In this classification the usual Boson Fock space over $\mathbb{C}^d$ is characterized by the fact that the positive Jacobi sequence is made up of identity matrices and the real Jacobi sequences are identically zero. The quantum decomposition of classical real valued random variables with all moments is one of the main ingredients in the proof.

Polynomial extensions of the Weyl $C^*$-algebra

We introduce higher order (polynomial) extensions of the unique (up to isomorphisms) non trivial central extension of the Heisenberg algebra. Using the boson representation of the latter, we construct the corresponding polynomial analogue of the Weyl $C^*$-algebra and use this result to deduce the explicit form of the composition law of the associated generalization of the 1-dimensional Heisenberg group. These results are used to calculate the vacuum characteristic func- tions as well as the moments of the observables in the Galilei algebra. The continuous extensions of these objects gives a new type of second quantization which even in the quadratic case is quite different from the quadratic Fock functor.

$C^*$-non-linear second quantization

Recently, we have constructed a non{linear (polynomial) extension of the 1-mode Heisenberg group and the corresponding Fock and Weyl representations. The transition from the 1-mode case to the current algebra level, in which the operators are indexed by elements of an appropriate test function space (second quantization), can be done at Lie algebra level. A way to bypass the difficulties of constructing a (non trivial) Hilbert space representation is to try and construct directly a $C^*$-algebra rep- resentation and then to look for its Hilbert space representations. In usual (linear) quantization, this corresponds to the construction of the Weyl $C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we produce such a construction for the above mentioned polynomial extension of the Weyl $C^*$-algebra. The result of this construction is a factorizable system of local alge- bras localized on bounded Borel subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ and obtained as induc- tive limit of tensor products of finite sets of copies of the one mode $C^*$-algebra. The $C^*$-embeddings of the inductive system require some non{trivial re{scaling of the generators of the algebras involved. These re{scalings are responsible of a $C^*$-analogue of the "no-go" theorems, first met at the level of Fock second quantization, namely the proof that the family of Fock states defined on the inductive family of $C^*$-algebras is projective only in the linear case (i.e. the case of the usual Weyl algebra). Thus the solution of the representa- tion problem at $C^*$-level does not automatically imply its solution at Hilbert space level.

On the multi-dimensionel Favard Lemma

We prove that of the creator operators, on the $d$ commuting indeterminates polynomial algebra, are linearly independent. We further study the connection between the classical (one dimensional) and the multi-dimensional ($d$-dimensional, $d \geq 1$) Favard Lemmas. Moreover, we investigate the dependence of the Jacobi sequences on the linear change of basis of $\mathbb{C}^d$. Finally we prove that the Jacobi sequences associated to the probability measure product on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are diagonal matrices in the basis introduced by the tensor product of the orthogonal polynomials of the factor measures.

On the quadratic Fock functor

We prove that the quadratic second quantization of an operator p on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\cap L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^d)$ is an orthogonal projection on the quadratic Fock space if and only if p =MI, where MI is a multiplication operator by a characteristic function I.

Quadratic exponential vectors

We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a quadratic exponential vector with test function in L2(Rd) ? L?(Rd). We prove the linear independence and totality, in the quadratic Fock space, of these vectors. Using a technique different from the one used, we also extend, to a more general class of test functions, the explicit form of the scalar product between two such vectors.
