The quadratic Fock functor
Abstract
We construct the quadratic analogue of the boson Fock functor. While in the first order case all contractions on the 1--particle space can be second quantized, the semigroup of contractions that admit a quadratic second quantization is much smaller due to the nonlinearity. Within this semigroup we characterize the unitary and the isometric elements.
