Quantum Stochastic Calculus and Representations of Lie Superalgebras [electronic resource] / by Timothy M. W. Eyre.

Quantum stochastic calculus -- Z2-graded structures -- Representations of lie superalgebras in Z2-graded quantum stochastic calculus -- The ungraded higher order Ito product formula -- The Ito superalgebra -- Some results in Z2-graded quantum stochastic calculus -- Chaotic expansions -- Extensions.

This book describes the representations of Lie superalgebras that are yielded by a graded version of Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus. Quantum stochastic calculus and grading theory are given concise introductions, extending readership to mathematicians and physicists with a basic knowledge of algebra and infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The develpment of an explicit formula for the chaotic expansion of a polynomial of quantum stochastic integrals is particularly interesting. The book aims to provide a self-contained exposition of what is known about Z_2-graded quantum stochastic calculus and to provide a framework for future research into this new and fertile area.
