• Abstract: The sandwiched R\'enyi divergences of two finite-dimensional density operators quantify their asymptotic distinguishability in the strong converse domain. This establishes the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences as the operationally relevant ones among the infinitely many quantum extensions of the classical R\'enyi divergences for R\'enyi parameter $\alpha>1$. The known proof of this goes by showing that the sandwiched R\'enyi divergence coincides with the regularized measured R\'enyi divergence, which in turn is proved by asymptotic pinching, a fundamentally finite-dimensional technique. Thus, while the notion of the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences was extended recently to density operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space (even for states of a von Neumann algebra), these quantities were so far lacking an operational interpretation similar to the finite-dimensional case, and it has also been open whether they coincide with the regularized measured R\'enyi divergences. In this paper we fill this gap by answering both questions in the positive for density operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, using a simple finite-dimensional approximation technique. We also initiate the study of the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences, and the related problem of the strong converse exponent, for pairs of positive semi-definite operators that are not necessarily trace-class. This is interesting from the purely mathematical point of view of extending the concept of R\'enyi (and other) divergences to settings beyond the standard one of positive trace-class operators (positive normal functionals in the von Neumann algebra setting). In this spirit, we also discuss the definition and some properties of the more general family of R\'enyi $(\alpha,z)$-divergences of positive semi-definite operators on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  We introduce a new construction of subadditive and submultiplicative monotones in terms of a regularized R'enyi divergence. We show that they can be combined in a nontrivial way using weighted operator geometric means. In addition, we find lower bounds on the new functionals that are superadditive and supermultiplicative.

  We present formulations for regularized Kullback-Leibler and R'enyi divergences via the Alpha Log-Determinant (Log-Det) divergences. For characteristic kernels, the first setting leads to divergences between arbitrary Borel probability measures on a complete, separable metric space. We show that the Alpha Log-Det divergences are continuous in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm, which enables us to apply laws of large numbers for Hilbert space-valued random variables.
