On the q-analogues of the Zassenhaus formula for dientangling exponential operators
Abstract
Description
Katriel, Rasetti and Solomon introduced a $q$-analogue of the Zassenhaus formula written as $e_q^{(A+B)}$ $=$ $e_q^Ae_q^Be_q^{c_2}e_q^{c_3}e_q^{c_4}e_q^{c_5}...$, where $A$ and $B$ are two generally noncommuting operators and $e_q^z$ is the Jackson $q$-exponential, and derived the expressions for $c_2$, $c_3$ and $c_4$. It is shown that one can also write $e_q^{(A+B)}$ $=$ $e_q^Ae_q^Be_{q^2}^{\C_2}e_{q^3}^{\C_3}e_{q^4}^{\C_4}e_{q^5}^{\C_5}...$. Explicit expressions for $\C_2$, $\C_3$ and $\C_4$ are given.
