A Forward Quantum Markov Field on Graphs

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a class of quantum Markov fields QMF on a graphs $G= (V,E)$. The Markov structure of the considered QMF is investigated in the finer structure of a quasi-local algebrav $\mathcal{A}_V$ of observables based over a graphs $G$. Namely, the considered Markovian fields are infinite volume states defined through a generating couple $(\varphi^{(0)}, (\mathcal{E}_{\{y\}\cup N_y}))$ of a product state $\varphi^{(0)}$ on $\mathcal{A}_V$ and a family of local transition expectations $\mathcal{E}_{\{y\}\cup N_y}$ based on a vertex $y$ and the set of it nearest-neighbors. The main result of the paper concerns the existence and the uniqueness of QMF associated with a couple $(\varphi^{(0)}, (\mathcal{E}_{\{y\}\cup N_y}))$ for on an important class of graphs including trees strictly.
