AboutAbout the lab
Broadening the analysis of noncommutative quantities
Prof. Ueda studies noncommutative analysis broadly, building on operator algebra theory.
Operator algebra theory demands both the power of algebra to handle noncommutativity and the power of analysis to overcome infinite-dimensionality.
The lab also conducts research related to harmonic analysis, probability theory, and ergodic theory, aiming to contribute to the analysis of noncommutative quantities based on operator algebras.
Key terms
- Operator algebra
- A collection of linear transformations (operators) on a Hilbert space, set up so that they can be added and multiplied.
- Noncommutative
- A property whereby changing the order of multiplication changes the result. It occurs, for example, in matrix multiplication.
- Ergodic theory
- A field that uses the ideas of probability (measure) to study the long-term average behavior of dynamical systems.
- Free probability theory
- A theory that treats noncommutative quantities in the manner of probability theory, using a notion of independence called "freeness."
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies a relatively wide range of topics, building on operator algebra theory. It is currently moving somewhat away from topics specific to operator algebra theory and exploring ways to help broaden the field's reach.
*Illustrative imageNoncommutative Analysis Built on Operator Algebra Theory
The real appeal of operator algebra theory lies in wrestling with noncommutative phenomena and overcoming infinite-dimensionality. Noncommutativity calls for algebraic formulation and handling, while infinite-dimensionality calls for the power of analysis, and this combination is what makes the field interesting.
*Illustrative imageResearch in Harmonic Analysis, Probability Theory, and More
In addition to problems specific to operator algebra theory, the lab conducts research related to harmonic analysis, probability theory, and ergodic theory. Free probability theory is also one of its research themes.
*Illustrative imageBroadening the Reach of Operator Algebra Theory
The lab has studied von Neumann algebras, quantum groups, subfactors, random matrices, and noncommutative function spaces. It is now exploring directions that move somewhat away from topics specific to operator algebra theory and broaden the field's reach.
