Abstract: In this book, first published in 2003, the reader is provided with a tour of the principal results and ideas in the theories of completely positive maps, completely bounded maps, dilation theory, operator spaces and operator algebras, together with some of their main applications. The author assumes only that the reader has a basic background in functional analysis, and the presentation is self-contained and paced appropriately for graduate students new to the subject. Experts will also want this book for their library since the author illustrates the power of methods he has developed with new and simpler proofs of some of the major results in the area, many of which have not appeared earlier in the literature. An indispensable introduction to the theory of operator spaces for all who want to know more.
TL;DR: The Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) and Hilbert space embedding is described and the set of distributions with the metric /spl radic/JSD can be embedded isometrically into Hilbert space and the embedding can be identified.
Abstract: This paper describes the Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) and Hilbert space embedding. With natural definitions making these considerations precise, one finds that the general Jensen-Shannon divergence related to the mixture is the minimum redundancy, which can be achieved by the observer. The set of distributions with the metric /spl radic/JSD can even be embedded isometrically into Hilbert space and the embedding can be identified.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the generalized creation and annihilation operators are bounded except in a limit in which they reduce to the usual boson creation or annihilation operators, and that the Hilbert space of analytic functions reduces to the Bargmann-Segal Hilbert space and in another limit it reduces to Hardy-Lebesgue space.
Abstract: Generalized coherent states which are associated with a generalization of the harmonic oscillator commutation relation are investigated. It is shown that these states form an overcomplete basis in a Hilbert space of analytic functions. The generalized creation and annihilation operators are bounded except in a limit in which they reduce to the usual boson creation and annihilation operators. In this limit the Hilbert space of analytic functions reduces to the Bargmann–Segal Hilbert space of entire functions and in another limit it reduces to the Hardy–Lebesgue space.
TL;DR: In this article, a complete set of quasi-local integrals of motion for the many-body localized phase of interacting fermions in a disordered potential is constructed, under certain approximations, as a convergent series in the interaction strength.
TL;DR: Amenable Banach algebras of compact operators as mentioned in this paper have been shown to have super-amenability and weak amenability in the context of finite-dimensional spaces of homomorphisms.
