AbstractGiven a holomorphic Hilbertian bundle on a compact complex manifold, we introduce the notion of holomorphic L2 torsion, which lies in the determinant line of the twisted L2 Dolbeault cohomology and represents a volume element there. Here we utilise the theory of determinant lines of Hilbertian modules over finite von Neumann algebras as developed in [CFM]. This specialises to the Ray-Singer-Quillen holomorphic torsion in the finite dimensional case. We compute ametric variation formula for the holomorphic L2 torsion, which shows that it is not in general independent of the choice of Hermitian metrics on the complex manifold and on the holomorphic Hilbertian bundle, which are needed to define it. We therefore initiate the theory of correspondences of determinant lines, that enables us to define a relative holomorphic L2 torsion for a pair of flat Hilbertian bundles, which we prove is independent of the choice of Hermitian metrics on the complex manifold and on the flat Hilbertian bundles.

A notion of entangled Markov chain was introduced by Accardi and Fidaleo in the context of quantum random walk. They proved that, in the finite-dimensional case, the corresponding states have vanishing entropy density, but they did not prove that they are entangled. In this note this entropy result is extended to the infinite-dimensional case under the assumption of finite speed of hopping. Then the entanglement problem is discussed for spin-1/2, entangled Markov chains generated by a binary symmetric channel with hopping probability 1-q. The von Neumann entropy of these states, restricted on a sublattice is explicitly calculated and shown to be independent of the size of the sublattice. This is a new, purely quantum, phenomenon. Finally the entanglement property between the sublattices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is investigated using the PPT criterium. It turns out that, for q≠ 0, 1, ½ the states are non-separable, thus truly entangled, while for q = 0, 1, ½, they are separable.

AbstractIn this paper, we derive a new generalisation of the strong subadditivity of the entropy to the setting of general conditional expectations onto arbitrary finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras. This generalisation, referred to as approximate tensorization of the relative entropy, consists in a lower bound for the sum of relative entropies between a given density and its respective projections onto two intersecting von Neumann algebras in terms of the relative entropy between the same density and its projection onto an algebra in the intersection, up to multiplicative and additive constants. In particular, our inequality reduces to the so-called quasi-factorization of the entropy for commuting algebras, which is a key step in modern proofs of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for classical lattice spin systems. We also provide estimates on the constants in terms of conditions of clustering of correlations in the setting of quantum lattice spin systems. Along the way, we show the equivalence between conditional expectations arising from Petz recovery maps and those of general Davies semigroups.

AbstractLet G be one of the ind-groups GL(∞), O(∞), Sp(∞), and let P1, ..., Pℓ be an arbitrary set of ℓ splitting parabolic subgroups of G. We determine all such sets with the property that G acts with finitely many orbits on the ind-variety X1 × × Xℓ where Xi = G/Pi. In the case of a finite-dimensional classical linear algebraic group G, the analogous problem has been solved in a sequence of papers of Littelmann, Magyar–Weyman–Zelevinsky and Matsuki. An essential difference from the finite-dimensional case is that already for ℓ = 2, the condition that G acts on X1 × X2 with finitely many orbits is a rather restrictive condition on the pair P1, P2. We describe this condition explicitly. Using the description we tackle the most interesting case where ℓ = 3, and present the answer in the form of a table. For ℓ ≥ 4 there always are infinitely many G-orbits on X1 × × Xℓ.

SynopsisWe consider automorphic actions on von Neumann algebras of a locally compact group E given as a topological extension 0 → A → E → G → 0, where A is compact abelian and second countable. Motivated by the wish to describe and classify ergodic actions of E when G is finite, we classify (up to conjugacy) first the ergodic actions of locally compact groups on finite-dimensional factors and then compact abelian actions with the property that the fixed-point algebra is of type I with atomic centre. We then handle the case of ergodic actions of E with the property that the action is already ergodic when restricted to A, and then, as a generalisation, the case of (not necessarily ergodic) actions of E with the property that the restriction to A is an action with abelian atomic fixed-point algebra. Both these cases are handled for general locally compact-countable G. Finally, we combine the obtained results to classify the ergodic actions of E when G is finite, provided that either the extension is central and Hom (G, T) = 0, or G is abelian and either cyclic or of an order not divisible by a square.

We show first the definition of variational convergence of unifunctions and their basic variational properties. In the next section, we extend this variational convergence definition in case the functions which are defined on product two sets (bifunctions or bicomponent functions). We present the definition of variational convergence of bifunctions, icluding epi/hypo convergence, minsuplop convergnece and maxinf-lop convergence, defined on metric spaces. Its variational properties are also considered. In this paper, we concern on the properties of epi/hypo convergence to apply these results on optimization proplems in two last sections. Next we move on to the main results that are approximations of typical and important optimization related problems on metric space in terms of the types of variational convergence are equilibrium problems, and multiobjective optimization. When we applied to the finite dimensional case, some of our results improve known one.

Abstract In this note, we give examples of S—expansions of Lie algebras of finite and infinite dimension. For the finite dimensional case, we expand all real three-dimensional Lie algebras. In the case of infinite dimension, we perform contractions obtaining new Lie algebras of infinite dimension.
