The seminar on Stochastic Analysis and Mathematical Physics started in 1984 at the Catholic University of Chile in Santiago and has been an on going research activity. Since 1995, the group has organized international workshops as a way of promoting a broader dialogue among experts in the areas of classical and quantum stochastic analysis, mathematical physics and physics. This volume, consisting primarily of contributions to the Third Inter national Workshop on Stochastic Analysis and Mathematical Physics (in Spanish ANESTOC), held in Santiago, Chile, in October 1998, focuses on an analysis...

The contributions in this volume highlight emergent research in the area of stochastic analysis and mathematical physics, focussing, in particular, on quantum probability. Key topics covered include novel tools for the qualitative analysis of quantum dynamical semigroups (existence of invariant states, subharmonic projections and faithful normal invariant states, propagation of molecular chaos), and new results on quantum information and quantum large deviations. All articles have been thoroughly refereed and are an outgrowth of the International Workshop in Stochastic Analysis and...
