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.

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.

The Generalized Fibonacci Oscillator as an Open Quantum System

We consider an open quantum system with Hamiltonian $H_S$ whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence weakly coupled to a Boson reservoir in equilibrium at inverse temperature $β$. We find the generator of the reduced system evolution and explicitly compute the stationary state of the system, that turns out to be unique and faithful, in terms of parameters of the model. If the system Hamiltonian is generic we show that convergence towards the invariant state is exponentially fast and compute explicitly the spectral gap for low temperatures, when quantum features of the system are more significant, under an additional assumption on the spectrum of $H_S$.

Stopping times in the game Rock-Paper-Scissors

In this paper we compute the stopping times in the game Rock-Paper-Scissors. By exploiting the recurrence relation we compute the mean values of stopping times. On the other hand, by constructing a transition matrix for a Markov chain associated with the game, we get also the distribution of the stopping times and thereby we compute the mean stopping times again. Then we show that the mean stopping times increase exponentially fast as the number of the participants increases.

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.

Central limit theorems for open quantum random walks on the crystal lattices

We consider the open quantum random walks on the crystal lattices and investigate the central limit theorems for the walks. On the integer lattices the open quantum random walks satisfy the central limit theorems as was shown by Attal, {\it et al}. In this paper we prove the central limit theorems for the open quantum random walks on the crystal lattices. We then provide with some examples for the Hexagonal lattices. We also develop the Fourier analysis on the crystal lattices. This leads to construct the so called dual processes for the open quantum random walks. It amounts to get Fourier transform of the probability densities, and it is very useful when we compute the characteristic functions of the walks. In this paper we construct the dual processes for the open quantum random walks on the crystal lattices providing with some examples.

How does Grover walk recognize the shape of crystal lattice?

We consider the support of the limit distribution of the Grover walk on crystal lattices with the linear scaling. The orbit of the Grover walk is denoted by the parametric plot of the pseudo-velocity of the Grover walk in the wave space. The region of the orbit is the support of the limit distribution. In this paper, we compute the regions of the orbits for the triangular, hexagonal and kagome lattices. We show every outer frame of the support is described by an ellipse. The shape of the ellipse depends only on the realization of the fundamental lattice of the crystal lattice in $\mathbb{R}^2$.

The generator and quantum Markov semigroup for quantum walks

The quantum walks in the lattice spaces are represented as unitary evolutions. We find a generator for the evolution and apply it to further understand the walks. We first extend the discrete time quantum walks to continuous time walks. Then we construct the quantum Markov semigroup for quantum walks and characterize it in an invariant subalgebra. In the meanwhile, we obtain the limit distributions of the quantum walks in one-dimension with a proper scaling, which was obtained by Konno by a different method.

Limit theorems for open quantum random walks

We consider the limit distributions of open quantum random walks on one-dimensional lattice space. We introduce a dual process to the original quantum walk process, which is quite similar to the relation of Schrödinger-Heisenberg representation in quantum mechanics. By this, we can compute the distribution of the open quantum random walks concretely for many examples and thereby we can also obtain the limit distributions of them. In particular, it is possible to get rid of the initial state when we consider the evolution of the walk, it appears only in the last step of the computation.

A Variational Principle in the Dual Pair of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces and an Application

Given a positive definite, bounded linear operator $A$ on the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_0:=l^2(E)$, we consider a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_+$ with a reproducing kernel $A(x,y)$. Here $E$ is any countable set and $A(x,y)$, $x,y\in E$, is the representation of $A$ w.r.t. the usual basis of $\mathcal{H}_0$. Imposing further conditions on the operator $A$, we also consider another reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_-$ with a kernel function $B(x,y)$, which is the representation of the inverse of $A$ in a sense, so that $\mathcal{H}_-\supset\mathcal{H}_0\supset\mathcal{H}_+$ becomes a rigged Hilbert space. We investigate a relationship between the ratios of determinants of some partial matrices related to $A$ and $B$ and the suitable projections in $\mathcal{H}_-$ and $\mathcal{H}_+$. We also get a variational principle on the limit ratios of these values. We apply this relation to show the Gibbsianness of the determinantal point process (or fermion point process) defined by the operator $A(I+A)^{-1}$ on the set $E$. It turns out that the class of determinantal point processes that can be recognized as Gibbs measures for suitable interactions is much bigger than that obtained by Shirai and Takahashi.

Gibbsianness of fermion random point fields

We consider fermion (or determinantal) random point fields on Euclidean space $\mbR^d$. Given a bounded, translation invariant, and positive definite integral operator $J$ on $L^2(\mbR^d)$, we introduce a determinantal interaction for a system of particles moving on $\mbR^d$ as follows: the $n$ points located at $x_1,...,x_n\in \mbR^d$ have the potential energy given by $$ U^{(J)}(x_1,...,x_n):=-\log\det(j(x_i-x_j))_{1\le i,j\le n}, $$ where $j(x-y)$ is the integral kernel function of the operator $J$. We show that the Gibbsian specification for this interaction is well-defined. When $J$ is of finite range in addition, and for $d\ge 2$ if the intensity is small enough, we show that the fermion random point field corresponding to the operator $J(I+J)^{-1}$ is a Gibbs measure admitted to the specification.

Conditional Intensity and Gibbsianness of Determinantal Point Processes

The Papangelou intensities of determinantal (or fermion) point processes are investigated. These exhibit a monotonicity property expressing the repulsive nature of the interaction, and satisfy a bound implying stochastic domination by a Poisson point process. We also show that determinantal point processes satisfy the so-called condition $(Σ_λ)$ which is a general form of Gibbsianness. Under a continuity assumption, the Gibbsian conditional probabilities can be identified explicitly.

Quantum Walks and Reversible Cellular Automata

We investigate a connection between a property of the distribution and a conserved quantity for the reversible cellular automaton derived from a discrete-time quantum walk in one dimension. As a corollary, we give a detailed information of the quantum walk.
