    Independence arising from interacting Fock spaces and related central limit theorem

    No full text
    We present the notion of projective independence, which abstracts, in an algebraic setting, the factorization rule for the vacuum expectation of creation-annihilations-preservation operators in interacting Fock spaces described in [3]. Furthermore, we give a central limit theorem based on such a notion and a Fock representation of the limit process

    A constructive boolean central limit theorem

    No full text
    We give a construction of the creation, annihilation and number processes on the Boolean Fock space by means of a quantum central limit theorem starting from creation, annihilation and number processes with discrete time

    Monotone independence, comb graphs and Bose-Einstein condensation

    Full text link
    The adjacency matrix of a comb graph is decomposed into a sum of monotone independent random variables with respect to the vacuum state. The vacuum spectral distribution is shown to be asymptotically the arcsine law as a consequence of the monotone central limit theorem. As an example the comb lattice is studied with explicit calculation

    Generic Fock Quantum Markov Semigroups with Instantaneous States

    Full text link
    We construct a generic quantum Markov semigroup with instantaneous states exploiting the invariance of the diagonal algebra and the explicit form of the action of the pre-generator on off-diagonal matrix elements. Our semigroup acts on a unital C*-algebra and is strongly continuous on this algebra (Feller property). We discuss the generic hydrogenic atoms as an example

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
