Stochastic Processes and Operator Calculus on Quantum Groups

by U. Franz, René Schott

Overview

This book aims to present several new developments on shastic processes and operator calculus on quantum groups. Topics which are treated include operator calculus, dual representations, shastic processes and diffusions, Appell polynomials and systems in connection with evolution equations.
Audience: This volume contains introductory material for graduate students who are new to the field, as well as more advanced material for specialists in probability theory, algebraic structures, representation theory, mathematical physics and theoretical physics.

Editorial Reviews

Franz (Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universit<:a>t Greigwald, Germany) and Schott (Universit<'e> Henri Poincar<'e>-Nancy, France) present several new aspects related to quantum groups<-->operator calculus, dual representations, stochastic processes and diffusions, Appell polynomials and systems in connection with evolution equations. Much of the material can be found scattered throughout available literature, however, the presentation of representation theory in connection with Appell systems is original. Stochastic processes, such as Brownian motion, diffusion processes and L<'e>vy processes, are investigated, and several examples are presented. The text is accessible to graduate students and researchers not specialized in quantum probability. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
