There is a natural Borel structure on the set F of all factors on a separable Hilbert space [3]. Let denote the algebraic isomorphism classes in F together with the quotient Borel structure. Now that various non-denumerable families of mutually non-isomorphic factors are known to exist [1; 6; 8; 10; 11; 12; 13], the most obvious question to be resolved is whether or not is smooth (i.e. is there a countable family of Borel sets which separate points). We answer this question negatively by an explicit construction.

AbstractLet 𝓗 be a complex separable Hilbert space and ℒ(𝓗) denote the collection of bounded linear operators on 𝓗. In this paper, we show that for any operator A ∈ ℒ(𝓗), there exists a stably finitely (SI) decomposable operator A∈, such that ‖A−A∈‖ 𝓗 ∈ andA′(A∈)/ rad A′(A∈) is commutative, where rad A′(A∈) is the Jacobson radical of A′(A∈). Moreover, we give a similarity classification of the stably finitely decomposable operators that generalizes the result on similarity classification of Cowen–Douglas operators given by C. L. Jiang.

AbstractLet ℋ be a complex separable Hilbert space and ℒ(ℋ) denote the collection of bounded linear operators on ℋ. An operator A in ℒ(ℋ) is said to be strongly irreducible, if , the commutant of A, has no non-trivial idempotent. An operator A in ℒ(ℋ) is said to be a Cowen-Douglas operator, if there exists Ω, a connected open subset of C, and n, a positive integer, such that(a)Ω ⊂ σ(A) = ﹛z ∈ C | A – z not invertible﹜;(b)ran(A – z) = ℋ, for z in Ω;(c)Vz∈Ω ker(A – z) = ℋ and(d)dim ker(A – z) = n for z in Ω.In the paper, we give a similarity classification of strongly irreducible Cowen-Douglas operators by using the K0-group of the commutant algebra as an invariant.

Abstract We initiate the classification of nonrelativistic effective field theories (EFTs) for Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons, possessing a set of redundant, coordinate-dependent symmetries. Similarly to the relativistic case, such EFTs are natural candidates for “exceptional” theories, whose scattering amplitudes feature an enhanced soft limit, that is, scale with a higher power of momentum at long wavelengths than expected based on the mere presence of Adler’s zero. The starting point of our framework is the assumption of invariance under spacetime translations and spatial rotations. The setup is nevertheless general enough to accommodate a variety of nontrivial kinematical algebras, including the Poincaré, Galilei (or Bargmann) and Carroll algebras. Our main result is an explicit construction of the nonrelativistic versions of two infinite classes of exceptional theories: the multi-Galileon and the multi-flavor Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theories. In both cases, we uncover novel Wess-Zumino terms, not present in their relativistic counterparts, realizing nontrivially the shift symmetries acting on the NG fields. We demonstrate how the symmetries of the Galileon and DBI theories can be made compatible with a nonrelativistic, quadratic dispersion relation of (some of) the NG modes.

AbstractWe introduce a notion of absorption operators in the context of quantum Markov processes. The absorption problem in invariant domains (enclosures) is treated for a quantum Markov evolution on a separable Hilbert space, both in discrete and continuous times: We define a well-behaving set of positive operators which can correspond to classical absorption probabilities, and we study their basic properties, in general, and with respect to accessibility structure of channels, transience and recurrence. In particular, we can prove that no accessibility is allowed between the null and positive recurrent subspaces. In the case, when the positive recurrent subspace is attractive, ergodic theory will allow us to get additional results, in particular about the description of fixed points.

AbstractLet {\mathbb{H}} be a separable Hilbert space. In this paper, we establish a generalization of Walnut’s representation and Janssen’s representation of the {\mathbb{H}}-valued Gabor frame operator on {\mathbb{H}}-valued weighted amalgam spaces {W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})}, {1\leq p,q\leq\infty}. Also, we show that the frame operator is invertible on {W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})}, {1\leq p,q\leq\infty}, if the window function is in the Wiener amalgam space {W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{\infty},L^{1}_{w})}. Further, we obtain the Walnut representation and invertibility of the frame operator corresponding to Gabor superframes and multi-window Gabor frames on {W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})}, {1\leq p,q\leq\infty}, as a special case by choosing the appropriate Hilbert space {\mathbb{H}}.

The set operations under consideration are Borel operations and Souslin's operation (). With respect to a given family of sets and in a setting free of any topological structure there are defined three Borel families (Definitions 3.1) and the family of Souslin sets (Definition 4.1). Conditions on an initial family are determined under which iteration of the Borel operations with Souslin's operation () on the initial family and the families successively produced results in a non-decreasing sequence of families of analytic sets (Theorem 5.2.1 and Definition 3.5). A classification of families of analytic sets with respect to an initial family of sets is indicated in a manner analogous to the familiar classification of Borel sets (Definition 5.3).

Let M be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space and assume that M has a separating and cyclic vector ω in . Then it can happen that M contains a proper von Neumann subalgebra N for which ω is still cyclic. Such an example was given by Kadison in [4]. He considered and acting on where is a separable Hilbert space. In fact by a result of Dixmier and Maréchal, M, M′ and N have a joint cyclic vector [3]. Also Bratteli and Haagerup constructed such an example ([2], example 4.2) to illustrate the necessity of one of the conditions in the main result of their paper. In fact this situation seems to occur rather often in quantum field theory (see [1] Section 24.2, [3] and [4]).

Abstract We investigate the asymptotic normality of distributions of the sequence {\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}u_{n,k}X_{k}} , {n\in\mathbb{N}} , where {(X_{k},k\in\mathbb{Z})} either is a sequence of i.i.d. random elements or constitutes a linear process with i.i.d. innovations in a separable Hilbert space. The weights {(u_{n,k})} are in general a family of linear bounded operators. This model includes operator weighted sums of Hilbert space valued linear processes, operator-wise discounted sums in a Hilbert space as well some extensions of classical summation methods.
