In particular, we study the canonical Poisson and Riemann-Jordan tensors and the corresponding foliations into K\\\"ahler submanifolds. It is also shown that the space $\\cD(\\cH)$ of density states on an $n$-dimensional Hilbert space $\\cH$ is naturally a manifold stratified space with the stratification induced by the the rank of the state. Thus the space $\\cD^k(\\cH)$ of rank-$k$ states, $k=1,...,n$, is a smooth manifold of (real) dimension $2nk-k^2-1$ and this stratification is maximal in the sense that every smooth curve in $\\cD(\\cH)$, viewed as a subset of the dual $u^*(\\cH)$ to the Lie algebra of the unitary group $U(\\cH)$, at every point must be tangent to the strata $\\cD^k(\\cH)$ it crosses. For a quantum composite system, i.e. for a Hilbert space decomposition $\\cH=\\cH^1\\ot\\cH^2$, an abstract criterion of entanglement is proved.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-11-17T15:43:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "02.40.Ft", "03.65.Ud", "03.65.Fd" ], "keywords": [ "density states", "quantum systems", "entanglement", "quantum composite system", "hilbert space decomposition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2005, "month": "Dec", "volume": 38, "number": 47, "pages": 10217 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 688170, "adsabs": "2005JPhA...3810217G" } } }
