Friday 27th January: STP Seminar – “Evolution of Open Systems and Dynamical Semigroups”
Title: Evolution of Open Systems and Dynamical Semigroups Speaker: Valentin A. Zagrebnov (Institut de Mathématiques de Marseille) Abstract: We consider dynamical semigroups for unbounded Kossakowski-Lindblad-Davies generators corresponding to evolution of open systems. For this evolution we prove the existence of… Read More
