W. Arveson showed a way of associating continuous tensor product systems of Hilbert spaces with endomorphism semigroups of type I factors. We do the same for general quantum dynamical semigroups through a dilation procedure. The product system so obtained is the index and its dimension is a numerical invariant for the original semigroup.

The Index of a Quantum Dynamical Semigroup

A numerical index is introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps of B(H) which generalizes the index ofE0-semigroups. It is shown that the index of a unital completely positive semigroup…

Infinite tensor products of completely positive semigroups

Abstract. We construct a new class of semigroups of completely positive maps on $ {\Cal B}(H) $ which can be decomposed into an infinite tensor product of such semigroups. Under suitable hypotheses,…

QUANTIZED CONVOLUTION SEMIGROUPS

We describe our construction of a continuous tensor product system in the sense of Arveson for a general W ∗-continuous completely positive semigroup of B(H) (H separable). This product system is…

Unital Dilations of Completely Positive Semigroups: From Combinatorics to Continuity

Using ideas due to Jean-Luc Sauvageot, we prove the existence of a continuous unital dilation of a CP$_0$-semigroup on a separable W$^*$-algebra. This paper presents the material in the author's Ph.…

Errata: "A SIMPLE PROOF OF THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM ABOUT ARVESON SYSTEMS"

With every E0-semigroup (acting on the algebra of of bounded operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space) there is an associated Arveson system. One of the most important results…

Unit Vectors, Morita Equivalence and Endomorphisms

We solve two problems in the theory of correspondences that have important implications in the theory of product systems. The first problem is the question whether every correspondence is the…

A Problem of Powers and the Product of Spatial Product Systems

In the 2002 AMS summer conference on ``Advances in Quantum Dynamics'' in Mount Holyoke Robert Powers proposed a sum operation for spatial E0-semigroups. Still during the conference Skeide showed that…

On the generators of quantum dynamical semigroups

The notion of a quantum dynamical semigroup is defined using the concept of a completely positive map. An explicit form of a bounded generator of such a semigroup onB(ℋ) is derived. This is a quantum…

Markov quantum semigroups admit covariant MarkovC*-dilations

Completely Positive Dynamical Semigroups of N Level Systems

We establish the general form of the generator of a completely positive dynamical semigroup of an N‐level quantum system, and we apply the result to derive explicit inequalities among the physical…
