hilbert space compression and exactness of discrete groups we show that the hilbert space compression of any unbounded finite dimensional cat 0 cube complex is 1 and deduce that any finitely generated group acting properly co compactly on a cat 0 cube complex is exact and hence has yu s property a the class of groups covered by this theorem includes free groups finitely generated coxeter groups finitely generated right angled artin groups finitely presented groups satisfying the b 4 t 4 small cancellation condition and all those word hyperbolic groups satisfying the b 6 condition another family of examples is provided by certain canonical surgeries defined by link diagrams

generalized boson algebra and its entangled bipartite coherent states starting with a given generalized boson algebra known as the bosonized version of the quantum super hopf algebra we employ the hopf duality arguments to provide the dually conjugate function algebra with both the hopf algebras being finitely generated we produce a closed form expression of the universal matrix that caps the duality and generalizes the familiar exponential map relating a lie algebra with its corresponding group subsequently using an inverse mellin transform approach the coherent states of single node systems subject to the symmetry are found to be complete with a positive definite integration measure the nonclassical coalgebraic structure of the algebra is found to generate naturally entangled coherent states in bipartite composite systems

new q deformed coherent states with an explicitly known resolution of unity we construct a new family of q deformed coherent states zq where 0 q 1 these states are normalizable on the whole complex plane and continuous in their label z they allow the resolution of unity in the form of an ordinary integral with a positive weight function obtained through the analytic solution of the associated stieltjes power moment problem and expressed in terms of one of the two jacksons s q exponentials they also permit exact evaluation of matrix elements of physically relevant operators we use this to show that the photon number statistics for the states is sub poissonian and that they exhibit quadrature squeezing as well as an enhanced signal to quantum noise ratio over the conventional coherent state value finally we establish that they are the eigenstates of some deformed boson annihilation operator and study some of their characteristics in deformed quantum optics

complementarity of suq 3 and uq 2 and q boson realization of the suq 3 irreducible representations the complementarity relationship also termed duality that arises between the irreps of the su 3 and u 2 lie algebras when their direct sum su 3 u 2 is embedded into a larger u 6 algebra and single row irreps of the latter are considered is extended to the corresponding q algebras suq 3 and uq 2 it is demonstrated by explicitly constructing the unique q boson state that is simultaneously maximal in suq 3 and uq 2 for a given u q 2 weight in addition the relations between the suq 3 and uq 2 casimir operators resulting from their complementarity are explicitly found together with the q bargmann representation of q boson operators the complementarity relationship is then used to construct a gel fand tseitlin basis for arbitrary suq 3 irreps in terms of q boson operators

one dimensional partially asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries orthogonal polynomials approach the stationary state of the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries is reconsidered the so called matrix product ansatz is employed this enables us to construct the stationary state in the form of the product of the matrices d and e noticing the fact that the matrix c d e for the model is related to certain q orthogonal polynomials the model is analysed for a wide range of parameters the current and the correlation length are evaluated in the thermodynamic limit it turns out that the phase diagram for the correlation length is richer than that for the totally asymmetric case

representations of the quadratic algebra and partially asymmetric diffusion with open boundaries we consider the one dimensional partially asymmetric exclusion model with open boundaries the model describes a system of hard core particles that hop stochastically in both directions with different rates at both boundaries particles are injected and extracted by means of the method of derrida et al the stationary probability measure can be expressed as a matrix product state involving two matrices forming a fock like representation of a general quadratic algebra we obtain the representations of this algebra which were unknown in the mathematical literature and use the two dimensional one to derive exact expressions for the density profile and correlation functions using the correspondence between the stochastic model and a quantum spin chain we obtain exact correlation functions for a spin heisenberg xxz chain with non diagonal boundary terms generalizations to other reaction diffusion models are discussed

relations for clebsch gordan and racah coefficients in suq 2 and yang baxter equations relations are exploited among clebsch gordan cg and racah coefficients in the algebra suq 2 known as a deformation of su 2 these are used to show that the yang baxter yb relation for the irf interaction round a face model results from one of the symmetry relations for the 9 j symbol specific to suq 2 and that in an asymptotic limit this yb relation becomes the yb relation for the two dimensional vertex model the racah coefficient which has a particularly simple dependence on q is efficiently used such that an asymptotic limit of the racah coefficient is the cg coefficient and another limit gives the factorized s matrix of the vertex model

e theory and kk theory for groups which act properly and isometrically on hilbert space a good deal of research in c algebra k theory in recent years has been devoted to the baum connes conjecture 3 which proposes a formula for the k theory of group c algebras that blends group homology with the representation theory of compact subgroups the conjecture has brought c algebra theory into close contact with manifold theory through its obvious similarity to the borel conjecture of surgery theory 9 31 and its links with the theory of positive scalar curvature 27 in addition there are points of contact with harmonic analysis particularly the tempered representation theory of semisimple groups although the proper relation between the baum connes conjecture and representation theory is not well understood the conjecture is most easily formulated for groups which are discrete and torsion free for such a group g there is a natural homomorphism

exotic crossed products and the baum connes conjecture we study general properties of exotic crossed product functors and characterise those which extend to functors on equivariant c algebra categories based on correspondences we show that every such functor allows the construction of a descent in kk theory and we use this to show that all crossed products by correspondence functors of k amenable groups are kk equivalent we also show that for second countable groups the minimal exact morita compatible crossed product functor used in the new formulation of the baum connes conjecture by baum guentner and willett 4 extends to correspondences when restricted to separable g c algebras it therefore allows a descent in kk theory for separable systems
