The cryptohermitian smeared-coordinate representation of wave functions
Abstract
The one-dimensional real line of coordinates is replaced, for simplification or approximation purposes, by an N-plet of the so called Gauss-Hermite grid points. These grid points are interpreted as the eigenvalues of a tridiagonal matrix which proves rather complicated. Via the "zeroth" Dyson-map the "operator of position" is then further simplified into an isospectral matrix which is found optimal for the purpose. As long as the latter matrix appears non-Hermitian it is not an observable in the manifestly "false" Hilbert space . For this reason the optimal operator is assigned the family of its isospectral avatars , . They are, by construction, selfadjoint in the respective dependent image Hilbert spaces obtained from by the respective "new" Dyson maps . In the ultimate step of simplification, the inner product in the F-superscripted space is redefined in an {\it ad hoc}, dependent manner. The resulting "simplest", S-superscripted representations of the eligible physical Hilbert spaces of states (offering different dynamics) then emerge as, by construction, unitary equivalent to the (i.e., indistinguishable from the) respective awkward, P-superscripted and subscripted physical Hilbert spaces.
