Conditional Expectations

AbstractIn this paper, we derive a new generalisation of the strong subadditivity of the entropy to the setting of general conditional expectations onto arbitrary finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras. This generalisation, referred to as approximate tensorization of the relative entropy, consists in a lower bound for the sum of relative entropies between a given density and its respective projections onto two intersecting von Neumann algebras in terms of the relative entropy between the same density and its projection onto an algebra in the intersection, up to multiplicative and additive constants. In particular, our inequality reduces to the so-called quasi-factorization of the entropy for commuting algebras, which is a key step in modern proofs of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for classical lattice spin systems. We also provide estimates on the constants in terms of conditions of clustering of correlations in the setting of quantum lattice spin systems. Along the way, we show the equivalence between conditional expectations arising from Petz recovery maps and those of general Davies semigroups.

Necessary And Sufficient

The subject of the paper is an old problem of the general theory of quantized fields: When can the unbounded operators of a Wightman field theory be associated with local algebras of bounded operators in the sense of Haag? The paper reviews and extends previous work on this question, stressing its connections with a noncommutive generalization of the classical Hamburger moment problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a local net of von Neumann algebras corresponding to a given Wightman field are formulated in terms of strengthened versions of the usual positivity property of Wightman functionals. The possibility that the local net has to be defined in an enlarged Hilbert space cannot be ruled out in general. Under additional hypotheses, e.g., if the field operators obey certain energy bounds, such an extension of the Hilbert space is not necessary, however. In these cases a fairly simple condition for the existence of a local net can be given involving the concept of “central positivity” introduced by Powers. The analysis presented here applies to translationally covariant fields with an arbitrary number of components, whereas Lorentz covariance is not needed. The paper contains also a brief discussion of an approach to noncommutative moment problems due to Dubois-Violette, and concludes with some remarks on modular theory for algebras of unbounded operators.

Conditional Expectations

Given two von Neumann algebras, ℳ and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], and two normal semifinite faithful weights, φ and ψ on ℳ and [Formula: see text] respectively, we define a canonical map from {b ∈ ℳ+ | φ(b)< ∞} to the set of positive forms on the Hilbert space of the GNS representation of [Formula: see text] associated to ψ. We show that generalized conditional expectations, operator valued weights and Radon–Nikodym derivatives on von Neumann algebras can be obtained from particular cases of this canonical map.

Conditional Expectations

Let e be the Jones projection associated to a conditional expectation [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are von Neumann algebras. We prove that the similarity orbit of e by invertibles of [Formula: see text] is an homogeneous space iff the index of E is finite. If also [Formula: see text], then this orbit is a covering space for the orbit of E.
