While we might imagine a theological journal taking a passing interest (along with passing pot-shots), surely a social scientific journal need not pay attention to The God Delusion. But Dawkins quite s...

A Note on Spectrum Preserving Additive Maps on C*-Algebras

Mathieu and Ruddy proved that if be a unital spectral isometry from a unital C*-algebra Aonto a unital type I C*-algebra B whose primitive ideal space is Hausdorff and totallydisconnected, then is Jordan isomorphism. The aim of this note is to show that if be asurjective spectrum preserving additive map, then is a Jordan isomorphism without the extraassumption totally disconnected.

Note on Negative Probabilities and Observable Processes

Amathematical framework for observable processes is introduced via the model of systems whose states may be time dependent and described by possibly ”negative probabilities”. The model generalizes and includes the linearly dependent models or observable operator models for classical discrete stochastic processes. Within this model a general convergence result for finite-dimensional processes, w...
