In [8], the author decomposed the Dirichlet form associated to a bounded generator G of a $weakly^*$-continuous, completely positive, KMS-symmetric Markovian semigroup on a von Neumann algebra M. The aim of this paper is to extend G to the unbounded generator using the bimodule structure and derivations.

We study a class of KMS-symmetric quantum Markovian semigroups on a quantum spin system ($\mathcal{A},{\tau},{\omega}$), where $\mathcal{A}$ is a quasi-local algebra, $\tau$ is a strongly continuous one parameter group of *-automorphisms of $\mathcal{A}$ and $\omega$ is a Gibbs state on $\mathcal{A}$. The semigroups can be considered as the extension of semi groups on the nontrivial abelian subalgebra. Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space corresponding to the GNS representation con structed from $\omega$. Using the general construction method of Dirichlet form developed in [8], we construct the symmetric Markovian semigroup $\{T_t\}{_t_\geq_0}$ on $\mathcal{H}$. The semigroup $\{T_t\}{_t_\geq_0}$ acts separately on two subspaces $\mathcal{H}_d$ and $\mathcal{H}_{od}$ of $\mathcal{H}$, where $\mathcal{H}_d$ is the diagonal subspace and $\mathcal{H}_{od}$ is the off-diagonal subspace, $\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{H}_d\;{\bigoplus}\;\mathcal{H}_{od}$. The restriction of the semigroup $\{T_t\}{_t_\geq_0}$ on $\mathcal{H}_d$ is Glauber dynamics, and for any ${\eta}{\in}\mathcal{H}_{od}$, $T_t{\eta}$, decays to zero exponentially fast as t approaches to the infinity.

The aim of this paper is to find the set of the fixed elements and the set of elements for which equality holds in Schwarz inequality for the KMS-symmetric Markovian semigroup $\{S_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ given in [10]. As an application, we study some properties such as the ergodicity and the asymptotic behavior of the semigroup.

In [3, 9], using the theory of noncommutative Dirichlet forms in the sense of Cipriani [6] and the symmetric embedding map, authors constructed the KMS-symmetric Markovian semigroup $\{S_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ on a von Neumann algebra $\cal{M}$ with an admissible function f and an operator $x\;{\in}\;{\cal{M}}$. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for x so that the semigroup $\{S_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ acts separately on diagonal and off-diagonal operators with respect to a basis and study some results.
