Geometric Mean of States and Transition Amplitudes

Abstract

The transition amplitude between square roots of states, which is an analogue of Hellinger integral in classical measure theory, is investigated in connection with operator-algebraic representation theory. A variational expression based on geometric mean of positive forms is utilized to obtain an approximation formula for transition amplitudes.
