Reflections on Historical Models -- Index -- About the Author.The long-awaited reissue of a classic work of criticism - revised and expanded. In Starboard Wine, Samuel R. Delany explores the implications of his now-famous assertion that science fiction is not about the future. Rather, it uses the future as a means of talking about the present and its potentiality. By recognizing a text's specific "difference," we begin to see the quality of its particulars. Through riveting analyses of works by Joanna Russ, Robert Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, and Thomas M. Disch, Delany reveals critical strategies for reading that move beyond overwrought theorizing and formulaic thinking. Throughout, the author performs the kinds of careful inquiry and urgent speculation that he calls others to engage in.Science fictionHistory and criticismScience fictionTechniqueScience fictionHistory and criticism.Science fictionTechnique.814/.54Delany Samuel R848439MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910959934203321Starboard wine4367945UNINA06080nam 22006855 450 991030011760332120200706200448.03-319-94755-910.1007/978-3-319-94755-6(CKB)3810000000358850(MiAaPQ)EBC5447614(DE-He213)978-3-319-94755-6(PPN)22949644X(EXLCZ)99381000000035885020180628d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierReflection Positivity A Representation Theoretic Perspective /by Karl-Hermann Neeb, Gestur Ólafsson1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (135 pages)SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics,2197-1757 ;323-319-94754-0 Preface -- Introduction -- Reflection positive Hilbert spaces -- Reflection positive Hilbert spaces -- Reflection positive subspaces as graphs -- The Markov condition -- Reflection positive kernels and distributions -- Reflection positivity in Riemannian geometry -- Selfadjoint extensions and reflection positivity -- Reflection positive representations -- The OS transform of linear operators -- Symmetric Lie groups and semigroups -- Reflection positive representations -- Reflection positive functions -- Reflection positivity on the real line -- Reflection positive functions on intervals -- Reflection positive one-parameter groups -- Reflection positive operator-valued functions -- A connection to Lax–Phillips scattering theory -- Reflection positivity on the circle -- Positive definite functions satisfying KMS conditions -- Reflection positive functions and KMS conditions -- Realization by resolvents of the Laplacian -- Integration of Lie algebra representations -- A geometric version of Fr¨ohlich’s Selfadjointness Theorem -- Integrability for reproducing kernel spaces -- Representations on spaces of distributions -- Reflection positive distributions and representations -- Reflection positive distribution vectors -- Distribution vectors -- Reflection positive distribution vectors -- Spherical representation of the Lorentz group -- Generalized free fields -- Lorentz invariant measures on the light cone and their relatives -- From the Poincar´e group to the euclidean group -- The conformally invariant case -- Reflection positivity and stochastic processes -- Reflection positive group actions on measure spaces -- Stochastic processes indexed by Lie groups -- Associated positive semigroup structures and reconstruction -- A Background material -- A.1 Positive definite kernels -- A.2 Integral representations -- Index.Refection Positivity is a central theme at the crossroads of Lie group representations, euclidean and abstract harmonic analysis, constructive quantum field theory, and stochastic processes. This book provides the first presentation of the representation theoretic aspects of Refection Positivity and discusses its connections to those different fields on a level suitable for doctoral students and researchers in related fields. It starts with a general introduction to the ideas and methods involving refection positive Hilbert spaces and the Osterwalder--Schrader transform. It then turns to Reflection Positivity in Lie group representations. Already the case of one-dimensional groups is extremely rich. For the real line it connects naturally with Lax--Phillips scattering theory and for the circle group it provides a new perspective on the Kubo--Martin--Schwinger (KMS) condition for states of operator algebras. For Lie groups Reflection Positivity connects unitary representations of a symmetric Lie group with unitary representations of its Cartan dual Lie group. A typical example is the duality between the Euclidean group E(n) and the Poincare group P(n) of special relativity. It discusses in particular the curved context of the duality between spheres and hyperbolic spaces. Further it presents some new integration techniques for representations of Lie algebras by unbounded operators which are needed for the passage to the dual group. Positive definite functions, kernels and distributions and used throughout as a central tool.SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics,2197-1757 ;32Topological groupsLie groupsQuantum field theoryString modelsMathematical physicsHarmonic analysisProbabilitiesTopological Groups, Lie Groupshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11132Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Abstract Harmonic Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12015Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Topological groups.Lie groups.Quantum field theory.String models.Mathematical physics.Harmonic analysis.Probabilities.Topological Groups, Lie Groups.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Mathematical Physics.Abstract Harmonic Analysis.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.512.2Neeb Karl-Hermannauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut60109Ólafsson Gesturauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300117603321Reflection Positivity2272617UNINA
