Abstract

In this paper we construct the notions of double Fell bundle and double C*-category for possible future use as tools to describe noncommutative spaces, in particular in finite dimensions. We identify the algebra of sections of a double Fell line bundle over a discrete double groupoid with folding with the convolution algebra of the latter. This turns out to be what one might call a double C*-algebra. We generalise the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction to double C*-categories and we form the dual category for a saturated double Fell bundle using the Tomita-Takesaki involution.

Thermal boundary conditions in fractional superdiffusion of energy

We study heat conduction in a one-dimensional {finite}, unpinned chain of atoms perturbed by stochastic momentum exchange and coupled to Langevin heat baths at {possibly} distinct temperatures placed at the endpoints of the chain. While infinite systems without boundaries are known to exhibit superdiffusive energy transport described by a fractional heat equation with the generator $-|Δ|^{3/4}$, the corresponding boundary conditions induced by heat baths remain less understood. We establish the hydrodynamic limit for a finite chain with $n+1$ atoms connected to thermostats at the endpoints, deriving the macroscopic evolution of the averaged energy profile. The limiting equation is governed by a non-local Lévy-type operator, with boundary terms determined by explicit interaction kernels that encode absorption, reflection, and transmission of long-wavelength phonons at the baths. Our results provide the first rigorous identification of boundary conditions for fractional superdiffusion arising directly from microscopic dynamics with local interactions, highlighting their distinction from both diffusive and pinned-chain settings

Two-Species Boltzmann--Kac Kinetics with Matsumoto--Yor Nonlinear Collisions: Conserved Energy and Conic Equilibria

We extend Mark Kac's kinetic framework from single-species Euclidean spaces to a two-species, non-linear interaction space on the open cone $(0, \infty)^2$ governed by the Matsumoto--Yor rational collision involution. We identify a non-linear conserved energy $E(x,y) = x + y + 1/x$ and an invariant conic metric measure $dμ= \frac{dx \, dy}{x(x+y)}$. By establishing a two-species $H$-theorem, we prove that entropy production vanishes if and only if post-collision velocities are statistically independent ($I(U;V)=0$). In contrast to the transform-domain proof of Letac and Wesołowski~\cite{letac2000}, which relies on joint Laplace transforms of general measures, our approach yields a direct physical derivation in state space via the transformation law for logarithmic gradients and separation of variables. This uncouples the functional-differential system to uniquely characterize the Generalized Inverse Gaussian (GIG) and Gamma distributions as the non-equilibrium thermodynamic equilibria.
