Some considerations on topologies of infinite dimensional unitary coadjoint orbits

The topology of the embedding of the coadjoint orbits of the unitary group U(H) of an in-finite dimensional complex Hilbert space H, as canonically determined subsets of the B-space T_s of symmetric trace class operators, is investigated. The space T_s is identified with the B-space predual of the Lie-algebra L(H)_s of the Lie group U(H). It is proved, that orbits con-sisting of symmetric operators with finite rank are (regularly embedded) closed submanifolds of T_s. An alternative method of proving this fact is given for the `one-dimensional' orbit, i.e. for the projective Hilbert space P(H). Also a technical assertion concerning existence of simply related decompositions into one-dimensional projections of two unitary equivalent (orthogonal) projections in their `generic mutual position' is formulated, proved, and illustrated.

Comment on "No-Signaling Condition and Quantum Dynamics"

This paper contains a criticism of the article: Ch. Simon, V. Buzek and N. Gisin: ``No-Signaling Condition and Quantum Dynamics'', Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 170405, containing a proposal of adoption into quantum mechanics (QM) a new basic axiom. This axiom was declared to imply linearity of time evolution in QM on the basis of kinematic assumptions only. It is shown why, under the considered conditions, the axiom called ``no-signaling condition'' is not effective.

Geometric Formulation of Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics for Density Matrices

Proposals for nonlinear extenstions of quantum mechanics are discussed. Two different concepts of "mixed state" for any nonlinear version of quantum theory are introduced: (i) >genuine mixture< corresponds to operational "mixing" of different ensembles, and (ii) a mixture described by single density matrix without having a canonical operational possibility to pick out its specific convex decomposition is called here an >elementary mixture<. Time evolution of a class of nonlinear extensions of quantum mechanics is introduced. Evolution of an elementary mixture cannot be generally given by evolutions of components of its arbitrary convex decompositions. The theory is formulated in a "geometric form": It can be considered as a version of Hamiltonian mechanics on infinite dimensional space of density matrices. A quantum interpretation of the theory is sketched.

On Symmetries in Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics

It is shown how nonlinear versions of quantum mechanics can be refolmulated in terms of a (linear) C*-algebraic theory. Then also their symmetries are described as automorphisms of the correspondong C*-algebra. The requirement of "conservation of transition probabilities" is discussed.
