We are interested in stochastic processes satisfying a nonlinear recurrence relation of the form $$X_{n + k} = \Phi_0 (X_n, ..., X_{n + k - 1}) + \Theta_n$$ where $\Theta$ is a noise term. We establish the existence of an invariant measure for this process under given sufficient conditions on $\Phi_0.$
This paper deals with positivity properties for a pseudodifferential calculus, generalizing Weyl's classical quantization, and set on an infinite dimensional phase space, the Wiener space. In this frame, we show that a positive symbol does not, in general, give a positive operator. In order to measure the nonpositivity, we establish a Gårding's inequality, which holds for the symbol classes at hand. Nevertheless, for symbols with radial aspects, additional assumptions ensure the positivity of the associated operator.
The purpose of this article is to give a result of localization in space of the ground states photons, in some sense, of a Hamiltonian modelling nuclear magnetic resonance in quantum electrodynamics. The asymptotics at infinity obtained for the density of the number of photons around x is the power -5 of the distance of x to the particles. Moreover, the number of photons at large distance is smallest in the ground state total mean spin direction.
This article is concerned with compositions in the context of three standard quantizations in the Fock space framework, namely, anti-Wick, Wick and Weyl quantizations. The first one is a composition of states and is closely related to the standard scattering identification operator encountered in Quantum Electrodynamics for time dynamics issues. Anti-Wick quantization and Segal Bargmann transforms are implied there for that purpose. The other compositions are for observables (operators in some specific classes) for the Wick and Weyl symbols. For the Wick symbol of the composition of two operators, we obtain an absolutely converging series, and for the Weyl symbol, the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion is absolutely converging, still in the Fock spaces framework.
We are interested in this paper with the connection between the dynamics of a model related to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) with its classical counterpart known as the Maxwell-Bloch equations. The model in QFT is a model of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) considering fixed spins interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field in an external constant magnetic field. This model is close to the common spin-boson model. The classical model goes back to F. Bloch [15] in 1946. Our goal is not only to study the derivation of the Maxwell-Bloch equations but to also establish a semiclassical asymptotic expansion of arbitrary high orders with control of the error terms of this standard nonlinear classical motion equations. This provides therefore quantum corrections of any order in powers of the semiclassical parameter of the Bloch equations. Besides, the asymptotic expansion for the photon number is also analyzed and a law describing the photon number time evolution is written down involving the radiation field polarization. Since the quantum photon state Hilbert space (radiation field) is infinite dimensional we are thus concerned in this article with the issue of semiclassical calculus in an infinite dimensional setting. In this regard, we are studying standard notions as Wick and anti-Wick quantizations, heat operator, Beals characterization theorem and compositions of symbols in the infinite dimensional context which can have their own interest.
In this article, we are interested in a spin model including the quantized electromagnetic field (photons). With this model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) related to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) we give explicit quantum radiative corrections of the time evolution for the spin observables, for the electric and magnetic fields observables and for the photon number observable. As a by-product, this underlines that Bloch equations are the semiclassical limit of the model in QED considered here. In addition, transition probabilities for the same model are investigated.
The construction, in [AJN], of a pseudodifferential calculus analogous to the Weyl calculus, in an infinite dimensional setting, required the introduction of convenient classes of symbols. In this article, we proceed with the study of these classes in order to establish, later on, the properties that a pseudodifferential calculus is expected to satisfy. The introduction and the study of a new class are rendered necessary in view of applications in QED. We prove here that the symbols of both classes and the terms of their Taylorexpansions admit stochastic extensions. We define, in this infinite dimensional setting, a semigroup $H_t$ analogous to the heat semigroup, acting on the symbols belonging to both classes of symbols. The heat operator commutes with a second order operator similar to the Laplacian, which is its infinitesimal generator. For the class defined there, we give an expansion in powers of $t$ of $H_tf$,according to the classes of symbols.
We study the real, bounded-variables process (X_n) defined by a k-term recurrence relation X_{n+k} =ϕ(X_n, ... , X_{n+k-1}). We prove the decay of correlations, mainly under purely analytic hypotheses concerning the function ϕ and its partial derivatives.
We study the real valued process $ \{X_t, t\in {\mathbb N}\} $ defined by $X_{t+2} = φ(X_t,X_{t+1})$, where the $X_t$ are bounded. We aim at proving the decay of correlations for this model, under regularity assumptions on the transformation $φ$.
We aim at extending the definition of the Weyl calculus to an infinite dimensional setting, by replacing the phase space $ \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ by $B^2$, where $(i,H,B)$ is an abstract Wiener space. A first approach is to generalize the integral definition using the Wigner function. The symbol is then a function defined on $B^2$ and belonging to a $L^1$ space for a gaussian measure, the Weyl operator is defined as a quadratic form on a dense subspace of $L^2(B)$. For example, the symbol can be the stochastic extension on $B^2$, in the sense of L. Gross, of a function $F$ which is continuous and bounded on $H^2$. In the second approach, this function $F$ defined on $H^2$ satisfies differentiability conditions analogous to the finite dimensional ones. One needs to introduce hybrid operators acting as Weyl operators on the variables of finite dimensional subset of $H$ and as Anti-Wick operators on the rest of the variables. The final Weyl operator is then defined as a limit and it is continuous on a $L^2$ space. Under rather weak conditions, it is an extension of the operator defined by the first approach. We give examples of monomial symbols linking this construction to the classical pseudodifferential operators theory and other examples related to other fields or previous works on this subject.
We study the discrete-time, real valued bounded process $\{X_n, n\in {\mathbb N} \}$ defined by a second order recurrence relation $X_{n+2} = φ(X_n,X_{n+1})$. We obtain the decay of correlations under analytical hypotheses on $φ$ (regularity, bounds on derivatives ...)
This work is concerned with extending the results of Calder\' on and Vaillancourt proving the boundedness of Weyl pseudo differential operators Op_h^{weyl} (F) in L^2(\R^n). We state conditions under which the norm of such operators has an upper bound independent of n. To this aim, we apply a decomposition of the identity to the symbol F, thus obtaining a sum of operators of a hybrid type, each of them behaving as a Weyl operator with respect to some of the variables and as an anti-Wick operator with respect to the other ones. Then we establish upper bounds for these auxiliary operators, using suitably adapted classical methods like coherent states.
In this paper we establish explicit lower bounds for pseudodifferential operators with a radial symbol. The proofs use classical Weyl calculus techniques and some useful, if not celebrated, properties of the Laguerre polynomials.
In this paper, we study the Weyl symbol of the Schrödinger semigroup $e^{-tH}$, $H=-Δ+V$, $t>0$, on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, with nonnegative potentials $V$ in $L^1_{\rm loc}$. Some general estimates like the $L^{\infty}$ norm concerning the symbol $u$ are derived. In the case of large dimension, typically for nearest neighbor or mean field interaction potentials, we prove estimates with parameters independent of the dimension for the derivatives $\partial_x^α\partial_ξ^βu$. In particular, this implies that the symbol of the Schrödinger semigroups belongs to the class of symbols introduced in [1] in a high-dimensional setting. In addition, a commutator estimate concerning the semigroup is proved.
We aim at constructing an analog of the Weyl calculus in an infinite dimensional setting, in which the usual configuration and phase spaces are ultimately replaced by infinite dimensional measure spaces, the so-called abstract Wiener spaces. The Hilbert space on which the operators act can be seen as a Fock space or, equivalently, as a space of square integrable functions on the configuration space. The construction is not straightforward and needs to split the configuration space into two factors, of which the first one is finite dimensional. Then one defines, for a convenient symbol $F$, a hybrid calculus, acting on the finite dimensional factor as a Weyl operator and on the other one as an anti-Wick operator, defined thanks to an infinite dimensional Segal-Bargmann transformation. One can establish bounds on the hybrid operators. These bounds enable us to prove the convergence of any sequence of hybrid operators associated with an increasing sequence of finite dimensional factors. Their common limit is the Weyl operator $OP_h^{weyl}(F)$, the analog of Calderón-Vaillancourt Theorem being a consequence of the upper mentionned bounds as well.
