Non-positivity of Groenewold operators
نویسنده
چکیده
A central feature in the Hilbert space formulation of classical mechanics is the quantisation of classical Liouville densities, leading to what may be termed term Groenewold operators. We investigate the spectra of the Groenewold operators that correspond to Gaussian and to certain uniform Liouville densities. We show that when the classical coordinatemomentum uncertainty product falls below Heisenberg’s limit, the Groenewold operators in the Gaussian case develop negative eigenvalues and eigenvalues larger than 1. However, in the uniform case, negative eigenvalues are shown to persist for arbitrarily large values of the classical uncertainty product.

Positivity of Dunkl’s Intertwining Operator
For a finite reflection group on R , the associated Dunkl operators are parametrized firstorder differential-difference operators which generalize the usual partial derivatives. They generate a commutative algebra which is – under weak assumptions – intertwined with the algebra of partial differential operators by a unique linear and homogeneous isomorphism on polynomials. In this paper it is s...
متن کاملSemi-group Domination and Eigenvalue Estimates
For a class of integral operators it is shown that if the integral kernel of one operator majorates the kernel of the other one then certain forms of eigenvalue estimates are inherited. The operators must be related to a positivity preserving semi-group and, respectively, a positively dominated semi-group. It follows, in particular, that any, suuciently regular, eigenvalue estimate for the Schr...
متن کاملNew operators through measure of non-compactness
In this article, we use two concepts, measure of non-compactness and Meir-Keeler condensing operators. The measure of non-compactness has been applied for existence of solution nonlinear integral equations, ordinary differential equations and system of differential equations in the case of finite and infinite dimensions by some authors. Also Meir-Keeler condensing operators are shown in some pa...
متن کاملQuantum Fields on the Groenewold - Moyal Plane 1
We give an introductory review of quantum physics on the noncommutative space-time called the Groenewold-Moyal plane. Basic ideas like star products, twisted statistics , second quantized fields and discrete symmetries are discussed. We also outline some of the recent developments in these fields and mention where one can search for experimental signals.
