Perturbative criteria for the ergodicity of interacting dissipative quantum lattice systems

Lorenzo Bertini, Alberto De Sole, Gustavo Posta +1

We introduce a class of quantum Markov semigroups describing the evolution of interacting quantum lattice systems, specified either as generic qudits or as fermions. The correspond…

Poisson vertex algebras and Hamiltonian PDE

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

We discuss the theory of Poisson vertex algebras and their generalizations in relation to integrability of Hamiltonian PDE. In particular, we discuss the theory of affine classical…

Trace distance ergodicity for quantum Markov semigroups

Lorenzo Bertini, Alberto De Sole, Gustavo Posta

We discuss the quantitative ergodicity of quantum Markov semigroups in terms of the trace distance from the stationary state, providing a general criterion based on the spectral de…

On Lax operators

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

We define a Lax operator as a monic pseudodifferential operator of order , such that the Lax equations $\dfrac{\partial L(\partial)}{\partial t_k}=[(L^{\frac…

Classical and variational Poisson cohomology

Bojko Bakalov, Alberto De Sole, Reimundo Heluani +2

We prove that, for a Poisson vertex algebra V, the canonical injective homomorphism of the variational cohomology of V to its classical cohomology is an isomorphism, provided that…

An operadic approach to vertex algebra and Poisson vertex algebra cohomology

Bojko Bakalov, Alberto De Sole, Reimundo Heluani +1

We translate the construction of the chiral operad by Beilinson and Drinfeld to the purely algebraic language of vertex algebras. Consequently, the general construction of a cohomo…

A Lax type operator for quantum finite W-algebras

Alberto De Sole, Victor Kac, Daniele Valeri

For a reductive Lie algebra g, its nilpotent element f and its faithful finite dimensional representation, we construct a Lax operator L(z) with coefficients in the quantum finite…

Classical affine W-algebras and the associated integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies for classical Lie algebras

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

We prove that any classical affine W-algebra W(g,f), where g is a classical Lie algebra and f is an arbitrary nilpotent element of g, carries an integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy of…

Finite W-algebras for gl_N

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

We study the quantum finite W-algebras W(gl_N,f), associated to the Lie algebra gl_N, and its arbitrary nilpotent element f. We construct for such an algebra an r_1 x r_1 matrix L(…

Quantitative analysis of Clausius inequality

L. Bertini, A. De Sole, D. Gabrielli +2

In the context of driven diffusive systems, for thermodynamic transformations over a large but finite time window, we derive an expansion of the energy balance. In particular, we c…

Double Poisson vertex algebras and non-commutative Hamiltonian equations

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

We develop the formalism of double Poisson vertex algebras (local and non-local) aimed at the study of non-commutative Hamiltionan PDEs. This is a generalization of the theory of d…

On integrability of some bi-Hamiltonian two field systems of PDE

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Refik Turhan

We continue the study of integrability of bi-Hamiltonian systems with a compatible pair of local Poisson structures (H_0,H_1), where H_0 is a strongly skew-adjoint operator. This i…

Structure of classical (finite and affine) W-algebras

Alberto De Sole, Victor G. Kac, Daniele Valeri

First, we derive an explicit formula for the Poisson bracket of the classical finite W-algebra W^{fin}(g,f), the algebra of polynomial functions on the Slodowy slice associated to…

Macroscopic fluctuation theory

Lorenzo Bertini, Alberto De Sole, Davide Gabrielli +2

Stationary non-equilibrium states describe steady flows through macroscopic systems. Although they represent the simplest generalization of equilibrium states, they exhibit a varie…
