For this we compute the ``Hamiltonian algebra'' of the system, i.e. the C*-algebra C generated by the Hamiltonians we want to study, and show that, as in the N-body case, it is graded by a semilattice. Hilbert C*-modules graded by semilattices are involved in the construction of C. For example, if we start with an N-body system whose Hamiltonian algebra is B and then we add field type couplings between subsystems, then the many-body Hamiltonian algebra C is the imprimitivity algebra of a graded Hilbert B-module.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-26T17:19:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81Q10", "46L60", "47L90" ], "keywords": [ "spectral analysis", "many-body systems", "add field type couplings", "quantum particle systems", "many-body hamiltonian algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.5126D" } } }
