Convolution Semigroups of States

چکیده
Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups of functionals on a C∗-bialgebra, the noncommutative counterpart of a locally compact semigroup. On locally compact quantum groups we obtain a bijective correspondence between such convolution semigroups and a class of C0-semigroups of maps which we characterise. On C∗-bialgebras of discrete type we show that all weakly continuous convolution semigroups of states are automatically norm-continuous. As an application we deduce a known characterisation of continuous conditionally positive-definite Hermitian functions on a compact group.

متن کاملTHE ANALOGUE OF WEIGHTED GROUP ALGEBRA FOR SEMITOPOLOGICAL SEMIGROUPS
In [1,2,3], A. C. Baker and J.W. Baker studied the subspace Ma(S) of the convolution measure algebra M, (S) of a locally compact semigroup. H. Dzinotyiweyi in [5,7] considers an analogous measure space on a large class of C-distinguished topological semigroups containing all completely regular topological semigroups. In this paper, we extend the definitions to study the weighted semigroup ...
متن کاملSelfdecomposability and Semi-selfdecomposability in Subordination of Cone-parameter Convolution Semigroups
Extension of two known facts concerning subordination is made. The first fact is that, in subordination of 1-dimensional Brownian motion with drift, selfdecomposability is inherited from subordinator to subordinated. This is extended to subordination of cone-parameter convolution semigroups. The second fact is that, in subordination of strictly stable cone-parameter convolution semigroups on R,...
متن کاملGeneralized Mehler Semigroups and Catalytic Branching Processes with Immigration
Skew convolution semigroups play an important role in the study of generalized Mehler semigroups and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. We give a characterization for a general skew convolution semigroup on real separable Hilbert space whose characteristic functional is not necessarily differentiable at the initial time. A connection between this subject and catalytic branching superprocesses is est...
متن کاملMorphological Semigroups and Scale-Spaces on Ultrametric Spaces
Morphological semigroups for functions on length spaces have recently studied [2], whose basic ingredients are the convolution in the (max,+)-algebra (or supremal convolution), the metric distance and a convex shape function. Links with Hamilton–Jacobi PDE on length spaces appears also naturally. These semigroups lead to powerful scale-space properties for multiscale filtering, regularization a...
