Quantum Markov chains: A unification approach

In this paper, we study a unified approach for quantum Markov chains (QMCs). A new quantum Markov property that generalizes the old one, is discussed. We introduce Markov states and chains on general local algebras, possessing a generic algebraic property. We stress that this kind of algebras includes both Boson and Fermi algebras. Our main results concern two reconstruction theorems for quantum Markov chains and for quantum Markov states. Namely, we illustrate the results through examples.

Enumerating isoclinism classes of semi-extraspecial groups

We enumerate the number of isoclinism classes of semi-extraspecial p-groups with derived subgroup of order p2. To do this, we enumerate GL (2, p)-orbits of sets of irreducible, monic polynomials in 𝔽p[x]. Along the way, we also provide a new construction of an infinite family of semi-extraspecial groups as central quotients of Heisenberg groups over local algebras.
