Representations of commutations relations for p-adic systems of infinitely many degrees of freedom

Abstract

The standard C*-formalism of representations of commutations relations for systems of infinitely many degrees of freedom over a real numbers field is extended to the case of a p-adic numbers field. It is proved that any positive function on the Weyl algebra over a p-adic symplectic space is regular and restriction of the generating function of a state of the Weyl algebra on any nongenerate finite-dimensional subspace of p-adic symplectic space is continuous. Some nontrivial class of nonequivalent representations of commutations relations is described and analogies of Fock representations and representations with number operators are constructed. The criteria for the existence of free-field unitary quantization of symplectic transformations is given.

p-ADIC HILBERT SPACE REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM SYSTEMS WITH AN INFINITE NUMBER OF DEGREES OF FREEDOM

Sergio A Albeverio, Andrew Khrennikov

Gaussian measures on infinite-dimensional p-adic spaces are introduced and the corresponding L2-spaces of p-adic valued square integrable functions are constructed. Representations of the infinite-dimensional Weyl group are realized in p-adic L2-spaces. p-adic Hilbert space representations of quantum Hamiltonians for systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom are constructed. Many Hamiltonians with potentials which are too singular to exist as functions over reals are realized as bounded symmetric operators in L2-spaces with respect to a p-adic Gaussian measure.

Quadratic Representations of the Canonical Commutation Relations

Martin Proksch, G. Reents, Stephen J. Summers

This paper studies a class of representations (called quadratic) of the canonical commutation relations over symplectic spaces of arbitrary dimension, which naturally generalizes coherent and symplectic (i.e. quasifree) representations and which has previously been heuristically employed in the special case of finite degrees of freedom in the physics literature. An explicit characterization of canonical quadratic transformations in terms of a 'standard form' is given, and it is shown that they can be exponentiated to give representations of the Weyl algebra. Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the unitary equivalence of these representations with the Fock representation. Possible applications to quantum optics and quantum field theory are briefly indicated.

On Geometry of p-Adic Coherent States and Mutually Unbiased Bases

Evgenii Igorevich Zelenov

The paper considers coherent states for the representation of Weyl commutation relations over a field of $p$-adic numbers. A geometric object, a lattice in vector space over a field of p-adic numbers, corresponds to the family of coherent states. It is proved that the bases of coherent states corresponding to different lattices are mutually unbiased, and the operators defining the quantization of symplectic dynamics are Hadamard operators.

Traitement de la convolution gauche pour les systèmes infinis

Salvador Miracle-Solé

The « twisted convolution » formalism of D. Kastler, associated with the Weyl form of the canonical commutation relations, is developed for the systems of infinite degrees of freedom. The Weyl correspondence is analysed and the Wigner-Moyal formalism indicated, as an adaptation of a previous work of G. Loupias and the author, for an infinite class of irreducible representations of the twisted convolution algebra, which includes the Fock representation. We obtain these representations, which are related to the direct product representations of J. McKenna and J. R. Klauder, as subrepresentations of a generalized regular representation, and we give the condition for their unitary equivalence. In the last paragraph we consider the case of the Weyl relations on a topological symplectic space.

Representations of the Weyl group in spaces of square integrable functions with respect top-adic valued Gaussian distributions

Sergio A Albeverio, Andrew Khrennikov

We construct a representation of the Weyl group in the p-adic Hilbert space of functions which are square integrable with respect to a p-adic valued Gaussian distribution. The operators corresponding to position and momentum are determined by groups of unitary operators with parameters restricted to some balls in the field of p-adic numbers. A surprising fact is that the radii of these balls are connected by `an uncertainty relation' which can be considered as a p-adic analogue of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. The p-adic Hilbert space representation of the Weyl group is the basis for a calculus of pseudo-differential operators and for an operator quantization over p-adic numbers.

Weyl algebra and a realization of the unitary symmetry

Aleksander Strasburger

summary:In the paper the origins of the intrinsic unitary symmetry encountered in the study of bosonic systems with finite degrees of freedom and its relations with the Weyl algebra (1979, Jacobson) generated by the quantum canonical commutation relations are presented. An analytical representation of the Weyl algebra formulated in terms of partial differential operators with polynomial coefficients is studied in detail. As a basic example, the symmetry properties of the $d$-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator are considered. In this case the usual set of the creation and annihilation operators is used as basis of the Weyl algebra under consideration. From this model are deduced the underlying symplectic structure and some of its consequences. In particular, the transitions from the initial $\text{Sp}(d,\bbfC)$-invariant model to the $\text{GL}(d,\bbfC)$- and, at last, $\text{U}(d)$-invariant models are performed.
