Abstract

The Markov property for quantum lattice systems is investigated in terms of generalized conditional expectations. General properties of (particular cases of) quantum Markov fields, i.e. quantum Markov processes with multi-dimensional indices, are pointed out. In such a way, deep connections with the KMS boundary condition, as well as phenomena of phase transitions and symmetry breaking, naturally emerge.
