This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of a quantum dynamical semigroup [Formula: see text] acting on the algebra of all linear bounded operators on a given Hilbert space. In practice, all these semigroups have a generator which can be written in a well-known form named after Lindblad and Davies. If the semigroup has a faithful normal stationary state ρ, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the w*-convergence of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the conditional expectation of an element X onto the subalgebra of fixed points. Our main results are expressed in terms of the Lindblad–Davies generator .

Given a formal unbounded generator, the minimal quantum dynamical semigroup on a von Neumann algebra is constructed. A set of equivalent necessary and sufficient conditions for the conservativity of the minimal semigroup is given and in the case when it is not conservative, a distinguished family of conservative perturbations of the semigroup is studied. Finally, some of these results are applied to the classical Markov semigroup with arbitrary state space.

The subject of the paper is an old problem of the general theory of quantized fields: When can the unbounded operators of a Wightman field theory be associated with local algebras of bounded operators in the sense of Haag? The paper reviews and extends previous work on this question, stressing its connections with a noncommutive generalization of the classical Hamburger moment problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a local net of von Neumann algebras corresponding to a given Wightman field are formulated in terms of strengthened versions of the usual positivity property of Wightman functionals. The possibility that the local net has to be defined in an enlarged Hilbert space cannot be ruled out in general. Under additional hypotheses, e.g., if the field operators obey certain energy bounds, such an extension of the Hilbert space is not necessary, however. In these cases a fairly simple condition for the existence of a local net can be given involving the concept of “central positivity” introduced by Powers. The analysis presented here applies to translationally covariant fields with an arbitrary number of components, whereas Lorentz covariance is not needed. The paper contains also a brief discussion of an approach to noncommutative moment problems due to Dubois-Violette, and concludes with some remarks on modular theory for algebras of unbounded operators.

We have obtained sufficient conditions for conservativity of minimal quantum dynamical semigroup by modifying and extending the method used in [1]. Our criterion for conservativity can be considered as a complement to Chebotarev and Fagnola's conditions [1]. In order to show that our conditions are useful, we apply our results to concrete examples (models of heavy ion collision and noncommutative elliptic operators).

Motivated by the notions of [Formula: see text]-extendability and complete extendability of the state of a finite level quantum system as described by Doherty et al. [Complete family of separability criteria, Phys. Rev. A 69 (2004) 022308], we introduce parallel definitions in the context of Gaussian states and using only properties of their covariance matrices, derive necessary and sufficient conditions for their complete extendability. It turns out that the complete extendability property is equivalent to the separability property of a bipartite Gaussian state. Following the proof of quantum de Finetti theorem as outlined in Hudson and Moody [Locally normal symmetric states and an analogue of de Finetti’s theorem, Z. Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und Verw. Gebiete, 33(4) (1975/76) 343–351], we show that separability is equivalent to complete extendability for a state in a bipartite Hilbert space where at least one of which is of dimension greater than 2. This, in particular, extends the result of Fannes, Lewis, and Verbeure [Symmetric states of composite systems, Lett. Math. Phys. 15(3) (1988) 255–260] to the case of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space whose C* algebra of all bounded operators is not separable.

We study Schrödinger equation with degenerated symmetric but not self-adjoint Hamiltonian. The above properties of the quantum Hamiltonian arise in the description of the asymptotic behavior of the regularizing self-adjoint Hamiltonians sequence. A quantum dynamical semigroup corresponding to degenerated Hamiltonian is defined by means of the passage to the limit for the sequence of the regularizing dynamical semigroups. These semigroups are generated by the regularizing self-adjoint Hamiltonians. The necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the convergence of the regularizing semigroups sequence. The description of the divergent sequence of semigroups requires the extension of the stochastic process concept. We extend the stochastic process concept onto the family of measurable functions defined on the space endowed with finite additive measure. The above extension makes it possible to describe the structure of the partial limits set of the regularizing semigroups sequence.

Let Aj and Bj (1 ≦ j ≦ m) be bounded operators on a Banach space ᚕ and let Φ be the mapping on , the algebra of bounded operators on ᚕ, defined by(1)We give necessary and sufficient conditions for Φ to be identically zero or to be a compact map or (in the Hilbert space case) for the induced mapping on the Calkin algebra to be identically zero. These results are then used to obtain some results about inner derivations and, more generally, about mappings of the formFor example, it is shown that the commutant of the range of C(S, T) is “small” unless S and T are scalars.

A notion of a nonlinear quantum dynamical semigroup is introduced and discussed. Some sufficient conditions, expressed solely in terms of the duality map, in order that a multivalued mapping on a C*-algebra generates the nonlinear Markov semigroup are proposed.

We prove a version of the Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg splitting theorem for weak*continuous one-parameter semigroups on dual Banach spaces. This result is applied to give sufficient conditions for a quantum dynamical semigroup to display decoherence. The underlying notion of decoherence is that introduced by Blanchard and Olkiewicz (2003). We discuss this notion in some detail.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the Monge–Ampère equations $\det D^{2}u=f$ det D 2 u = f in dimension two with f being a perturbation of $f_{0}$ f 0 at infinity. First, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of radial solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity to Monge–Ampère equations outside a unit ball. Then, using the Perron method, we get the existence of viscosity solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity to Monge–Ampère equations outside a bounded domain.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the multivariate record values by using the Reduced Ordering Principle (R-ordering). Necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of the multivariate record values based on sup-norm are determined. Some illustrative examples are given.
