Abstract

We study a method of generating Bell inequalities by using group actions of single-generator Abelian groups. Two parties, Alice and Bob, each make one of M possible measurements on a system, with each measurement having K possible outcomes. The probabilities for the outcomes of these measurements are P(aj=k,bj=k), where j,j{1,2,...,M} and k,k{0,1,...,K1}. The sums of some subsets of these probabilities have upper bounds when the probabilities result from a local, realistic theory that can be violated if the probabilities come from quantum mechanics. In our case the subsets of probabilities are generated by a group action, in particular, a representation of a single-generator group acting on product states in a tensor-product Hilbert space. We show how this works for several cases, including M=2, K=3, and general M, K=2. We also discuss the resulting inequalities in terms of nonlocal games.
