Markov shift in Non-commutative Probability-II

Abstract

We study asymptotic behavior of a Markov semigroup on a von-Neumann algebra by exploring a maximal von-Neumann subalgebra where the Markov semigroup is an automorphism. This enables us to prove that strong mixing is equivalent to ergodic property for continuous time Markov semigroup on a type-I von-Neumann algebra with center completely atomic. For discrete time dynamics we prove that an aperiodic ergodic Markov semigroup on a type-I von-Neumann algebra with center completely atomic is strong mixing. There exists a tower of isomorphic von-Neumann algebras generated by the weak Markov process and a unique up to isomorphism minimal dilated quantum dynamics of endomorphisms associated with the Markov semigroup. The dilated endomorphism is pure in the sense of Powers if and only if the adjoint Markov semigroup satisfies Kolmogorov property. As an application of our general results we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a translation invariant state on a quantum spin chain to be pure. We also find a tower of type-II$_1$ factors canonically associated with the canonical conditional expectation on a sub-factor of a type-II$_1$ factor. This tower of factors unlike Jones's tower do not preserve index. This gives a sequence of Jones's numbers as an invariance for the inclusion of a finite sub-factor of a type-II$_1$ factor.

$C^*$-extreme maps and $*$-homomorphisms from $C(X)$ to finite von Neumann algebras

Given a unital inclusion of $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal C \subset \mathcal A$ and a unital inclusion $\mathcal C \subset \mathcal B$ into a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal B$, we investigate the extreme points of unital completely positive maps from $\mathcal A$ to $\mathcal B$ that fix $\mathcal C$ denoted by $UCP_\mathcal C(\mathcal A, \mathcal B)$. This space is obviously convex and $C^*$-convex with respect to the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal C' \cap \mathcal B$. In this article we show that the $\mathcal C' \cap \mathcal B$-extreme points are exactly the $*$-homomorphisms that fix $\mathcal C$ when $\mathcal A$ is commutative and $\mathcal B$ has a normal faithful center valued trace. This generalizes a result due to Farenick and Morenz where $\mathcal C = \mathbb C 1$ and $\mathcal B = M_n(\mathbb C)$.

Quantum Cheeger Inequalities for KMS-Symmetric Quantum Markov Semigroups

In this paper, we establish a quantum Cheeger inequality for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups in terms of projection conductance. We discuss both projection conductance and classical conductance for graph-based KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We show that hypercontractivity and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality hold for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We also present applications of the quantum Cheeger inequality to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, hypercontractivity, and complete modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

A characterization of simplicity of reduced groupoid C*-algebras

We show that, for a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with compact unit space, simplicity of the reduced groupoid C*-algebra implies the existence of a comeager set of unit points with C*-simple isotropy group. Combining this result with work of Christensen and Neshveyev on exotic completions of isotropy group algebras, we show that the converse implication is also true. Finally, we construct a Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with an isotropy group whose induced exotic completion differs from its reduced group C*-algebra, answering a question of Christensen and Neshveyev.
