The goal of this paper is to characterise certain probability laws on a class of quantum groups or braided groups that we will call nilpotent. First we introduce a braided analogue of the Heisenberg-Weyl group, which shall serve as standard example. We introduce Gaussian functionals on quantum groups or braided groups as functionals that satisfy an analogue of the Bernstein property, i.e. that ...

The measuring process is an external intervention in the dynamics of a quantum system. It involves a unitary interaction of that system with a measuring apparatus, a further interaction of both with an unknown environment causing decoherence, and then the deletion of a subsystem. This description of the measuring process is a substantial generalization of current models in quantum measurement t...

The classical Cuntz semigroup has an important role in the study of C*-algebras, being one of the main invariants used to classify recalcitrant C*-algebras up to isomorphism. We consider C*-algebras that have Hopf algebra structure, and find additional structure in their Cuntz semigroups. We show that in many cases, isomorphisms of Cuntz semigroups that respect this additional structure can be ...

Let $S$ be a semitopological semigroup. The $wap-$ compactification of semigroup S, is a compact semitopological semigroup with certain universal properties relative to the original semigroup, and the $Lmc-$ compactification of semigroup $S$ is a universal semigroup compactification of $S$, which are denoted by $S^{wap}$ and $S^{Lmc}$ respectively. In this paper, an internal construction of ...

This paper is a sequel to [19] and continues the study of quantum logic via dagger kernel categories. It develops the relation between these categories and both orthomodular lattices and Foulis semigroups. The relation between the latter two notions has been uncovered in the 1960s. The current categorical perspective gives a broader context and reconstructs this relationship between orthomodula...

We discuss conditions such that strong stability and strong asymptotic compactness of a (discrete or continuous) semiflow defined on a subset in the positive cone of an ordered Banach space is preserved under asymptotic domination. This is used to show that on a Banach lattice with order continuous norm strong stability and almost periodicity of a (discrete or strongly continuous) semigroup of ...

Beasley, L.B. and N.J. Pullman, Linear operators that strongly preserve graphical properties of matrices, Discrete Mathematics 104 (1992) 143-157. An operator on the set Ju of n X n matrices strongly preserves a subset 9 if it maps 9 into 9 and A\% into A\%. The operator semigroup of 9 is the semigroup of linear operators strongly preserving 9. We show that all the n x n matrix-families which a...
