Dilation of quantum dynamical semigroups with unbounded generator
Kalyan B. Sinha, Debashish Goswami
In Chapter 6 we built a theory of quantum stochastic dilation ‘naturally’ associated with an arbitrary Q.D.S. on a von Neumann or C * -algebra with bounded generator. There the computations involved C * or von Neumann Hilbert modules, using the results of [24], map-valued quantum stochastic processes on modules and quantum stochastic integration with respect to them, developed in Chapter 5. It is now natural to consider the case of a Q.D.S. with unbounded generator and ask the same questions about the possibility of dilation. As one would expect, the problem is too intractable in this generality and we need to impose some further structures on it. In this chapter we shall consider a few classes of such Q.D.S. and try to construct H–P and E–H dilation for them. At first, we shall work under the framework of a Lie group action on the underlying algebra, and consider covariant Q.D.S. For H–P dilation, symmetry with respect to a trace is also assumed, whereas a general theory for E–H dilation has been built under the assumption of covariance under the action of a compact group, but without it being symmetric. Then, in the last section, we deal with a class of Q.D.S. on the U.H.F. algebra, described in Chapter 3. In this case, E–H dilation is constructed by a direct iteration using some natural estimates. However, what is common to the methods used in constructing dilation for the different kinds of Q.D.S. mentioned above is the use of a natural locally convex topology, in which the generator (unbounded in the norm topology) is continuous.
