An algebraic approach to Koopman classical mechanics

Unary Classical Mechanics

Classical mechanics is presented here in a unary operator form, constructed using the binary multiplication and Poisson bracket operations that are given in a phase space formalism, then a Gibbs…

From Path Integrals to Dynamical Algebras: A Macroscopic View of Quantum Physics

The essence of the path integral method in quantum physics can be expressed in terms of two relations between unitary propagators, describing perturbations of the underlying system. They inherit the…

A Review of The Algebraic Approaches to Quantum Mechanics. Appraisals on Their Theoretical Relevance

I review the various algebraic foundations of quantum mechanics. They have been suggested since the birth of this theory till up to last year. They are the following ones: Heisenberg-Born-Jordan’s…

The Unitary Master Ward Identity: Time Slice Axiom, Noether’s Theorem and Anomalies

The C*-algebraic formulation of generic interacting quantum field theories, recently presented by Detlev Buchholz and one of the authors (KF), is enriched by a unitary version of the Master Ward…

A Review of The Algebraic Approaches to Quantum Mechanics. Some Appraisals of Their Theoretical Importance

The main algebraic foundations of quantum mechanics are quickly reviewed. They have been suggested since the birth of this theory till up to last years. They are the following ones:…

Postulates for General Quantum Mechanics

We present in this paper a set of postulates for a physical system and deduce from these the main general features of the quantum theory of stationary states. Our theory is strictly operational in…

A C*-algebraic Approach to Interacting Quantum Field Theories

A novel C*-algebraic framework is presented for relativistic quantum field theories, fixed by a Lagrangean. It combines the postulates of local quantum physics, encoded in the Haag–Kastler axioms,…

Superposition, Transition Probabilities and Primitive Observables in Infinite Quantum Systems

The concepts of superposition and of transition probability, familiar from pure states in quantum physics, are extended to locally normal states on funnels of type I∞ factors. Such funnels are used…

New Light on Infrared Problems: Sectors, Statistics, Symmetries and Spectrum

A new approach to the analysis of the physical state space of a theory is presented within the general setting of local quantum physics. It also covers theories with long range forces, such as…

Remarks on the Type of Von Neumann Algebras of Local Observables in Quantum Field Theory

The von Neumann algebras of local observables associated with certain regions of space‐time are believed to be factors. We show that these algebras are not of finite type. The commutant of the tensor…

New Light on Infrared Problems: Sectors, Statistics, Spectrum and All That

Within the general setting of algebraic quantum field theory, a new approach to the analysis of the physical state space of a theory is presented; it covers theories with long range forces, such as…

Nets ofC*-algebras and classification of states

The concept of locality in quantum physics leads to mathematical structures in which the basic object is an operator algebra with a net of distinguished subalgebras (the “local” subalgebras). Such…

The Heisenberg Relation { Mathematical Formulations ?

We study some of the possibilities for formulating the Heisenberg relation of quantum mechanics in mathematical terms. In particular, we examine the framework dis- cussed by Murray and von Neumann,…

Asymptotically abelian systems

AbstractWe study pairs { $$\mathfrak{A}$$ , α} for which $$\mathfrak{A}$$ is aC*-algebra and α is a homomorphism of a locally compact, non-compact groupG into the group of *-automorphisms of…
