We construct Hamiltonians for systems of nonrelativistic particles linearly coupled to massive scalar bosons using abstract boundary conditions. The construction yields an explicit characterisation of the domain of self-adjointness in terms…
We isolate a large class of self-adjoint operators H whose essential spectrum is determined by their behavior at large x and we give a canonical representation of their essential spectrum in terms of spectra of limits at infinity of…
In this paper, we study Hamiltonian operators which are sum of a first order operator and of a Poisson tensor, in two spatial independent variables. In particular, a complete classification of these operators is presented in two and three…
Topological quantum phases of matter are characterized by an intimate relationship between the Hamiltonian dynamics away from the edges and the appearance of bound states localized at the edges of the system. Elucidating this correspondence…
Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and let $\Omega^*(M)$ denote the space of differential forms on $M$. Let $d:\Omega^*(M) \to \Omega^{*+1}(M)$ be the exterior differential operator and let $\Del=dd^*+d^*d$ be the Laplacian. We…

We prove an analogue to the Cayley identity for an arbitrary self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space. We also provide two new ways to characterize vectors belonging to the singular spectral subspace in terms of the analytic properties of…
In this paper, we study self-adjointness and spectrum of operators of the form $$H=\displaystyle -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+Fx, F>0 \quad\text{on} \quad \mathcal{H}=L^{2}(-L,L).$$ $H$ is called Stark operator and describes a quantum particle in a…
Ladder operators are useful, if not essential, in the analysis of some given physical system since they can be used to find easily eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its Hamiltonian. In this paper we extend our previous results on abstract…
In a recent paper we have introduced several possible inequivalent descriptions of the dynamics and of the transition probabilities of a quantum system when its Hamiltonian is not self-adjoint. Our analysis was carried out in finite…
Let $T$ be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $H$ with domain $\mathcal D(T)$. Assume that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union of disjoint intervals $\Delta_k =[\alpha_{2k-1},\alpha_{2k}]$, $k\in \mathbb{Z}$, and $$…
It is known that the momentum operator canonically conjugated to the position operator for a particle moving in some bounded interval of the line {(with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is not essentially self-adjoint}: it has a continuous…
Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be selfadjoint operators or relations (multivalued operators) acting on a separable Hilbert space and assume that the inequality $H_1 \leq H_2$ holds. Then the validity of the inequalities $-H_1^{-1} \leq -H_2^{-1}$ and…
Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral…
A theorem that is of aid in computing the domain of the adjoint operator is provided. It may serve e.g. as a criterion for selfadjointness of a symmetric operator, for normality of a formally normal operator or for $H$--selfadjointness of…
We study homological structure of the filtrations of the spaces of self-adjoint operators by the multiplicity of the ground state. We consider only operators acting in a finite dimensional complex or real Hilbert space but infinite…
Time operators for an abstract semi-bounded self-adjoint operator $H$ with purely discrete spectrum is considered. The existence of a bounded self-adjoint time operator $T$ for $H$ is known as Galapon time operator. In this paper, a…
Motivated by what one observes dealing with PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, we discuss what happens if a physical system is driven by a diagonalizable Hamiltonian with not all real eigenvalues. In particular, we consider the functional…
We investigate the self-adjointness of the two-dimensional Dirac operator $D$, with quantum-dot and Lorentz-scalar $\delta$-shell boundary conditions, on piecewise $C^2$ domains with finitely many corners. For both models, we prove the…
We study the well-posedness of the Hamiltonian of a system of two anyons in the magnetic gauge. We identify all the possible quadratic forms realizing such an operator for non-interacting anyons and prove their closedness and boundedness…
