Time Automorphisms on C ∗ - Algebras

چکیده
Applications of fractional time derivatives in physics and engineering require the existence of nontranslational time automorphisms on the appropriate algebra of observables. The existence of time automorphisms on commutative and noncommutative C∗-algebras for interacting many-body systems is investigated in this article. A mathematical framework is given to discuss local stationarity in time and the global existence of fractional and nonfractional time automorphisms. The results challenge the concept of time flow as a translation along the orbits and support a more general concept of time flow as a convolution along orbits. Implications for the distinction of reversible and irreversible dynamics are discussed. The generalized concept of time as a convolution reduces to the traditional concept of time translation in a special limit.

Non-commutative Entropy Computations for continuous fields and cross-products
We present here two non-commutative situations where dynamical entropy estimates are possible. The first result is concerned with automorphisms of cross-products by an exact group that commute with the group action and generalizes the result known for amenable group. The second is about continuous fields of C∗-algebras and C(X)automorphisms and shows that one need more than the knowledge of ent...
متن کاملA K-Theoritic Approach to Some C*-Algebras
In this paper we look at the K-theory of a specific C*-algebra closely related to the irrational rotation algebra. Also it is shown that any automorphism of a C*-algebra A induces group automorphisms of K_{1}(A) amd K_{0}(A) in an obvious way. An interesting problem for any C*-algebra A is to find out whether, given an automorphism of K_{0}(A) and an automorphism of K_{1}(A), we can lift them t...
متن کاملFurstenberg Transformations on Irrational Rotation Algebras
We introduce a general class of automorphisms of rotation algebras, the noncommutative Furstenberg transformations. We prove that fully irrational noncommutative Furstenberg transformations have the tracial Rokhlin property, which is a strong form of outerness. We conclude that crossed products by these automorphisms have stable rank one, real rank zero, and order on projections determined by t...
متن کاملTopological Entropy of Some Automorphisms of Reduced Amalgamated Free Product C–algebras
Certain classes of automorphisms of reduced amalgamated free products of C∗– algebras are shown to have Brown–Voiculescu topological entropy zero. Also, for automorphisms of exact C∗–algebras, the Connes–Narnhofer–Thirring entropy is shown to be bounded above by the Brown–Voiculescu entropy. These facts are applied to generalize Størmer’s result about the entropy of automorphisms of the II1–fac...
متن کاملX-inner Automorphisms of Semi-commutative Quantum Algebras
Many important quantum algebras such as quantum symplectic space, quantum Euclidean space, quantummatrices, q-analogs of the Heisenberg algebra and the quantum Weyl algebra are semi-commutative. In addition, enveloping algebras U(L+) of even Lie color algebras are also semi-commutative. In this paper, we generalize work of Montgomery and examine the X-inner automorphisms of such algebras. The t...
