Invariant plurisubharmonic functions on non-compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

Let $$\,G/K\,$$ G / K be an irreducible non-compact Hermitian symmetric space and let $$\,D\,$$ D be a $$\,K$$ K -invariant domain in $$\,G/K$$ G / K . In this paper we characterize several classes of $$\,K$$ K -invariant plurisubharmonic functions on $$\,D\,$$ D in terms of their restrictions to a slice intersecting all $$\,K$$ K -orbits. As applications we show that $$\,K$$ K -invariant plurisubharmonic functions on $$\,D\,$$ D are necessarily continuous and we reproduce the classification of Stein $$\,K$$ K -invariant domains in $$\,G/K\,$$ G / K obtained by Bedford and Dadok. (J Geom Anal 1:1–17, 1991).

Absorption in Invariant Domains for Semigroups of Quantum Channels

We 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.
