Decompositing of $N+1$-dimensional gradient operator in terms of Gaussian normal coordinates $(\xi^{0},\xi^{\mu})$, ($\mu=1,2,3,...,N$) and making the canonical momentum $P_{0}$ along the normal direction $\mathbf{n}$ to be hermitian, we…

As a nonrelativistic particle constrained to remain on an $N-1$ ($N\geq 2$) dimensional hypersurface embedded in an $N$ dimensional Euclidean space, two different components $p_{i}$ and $p_{j}$ ($i,j=1,2,3,...N$) of the Cartesian momentum…

For a particle in a box, the operator $- i \partial_x$ is not Hermitean. We provide an alternative construction of a momentum operator $p = p_R + i p_I$, which has a Hermitean component $p_R$ that can be extended to a self-adjoint operator,…

In quantum mechanics textbooks the momentum operator is defined in the Cartesian coordinates and rarely the form of the momentum operator in spherical polar coordinates is discussed. Consequently one always generalizes the Cartesian…

In this work we take a closer look at the algebraic-operator correspondence between the momentum space and the position space which defines the form of the canonical momentum operator in position space in Quantum Mechanics (QM). Starting…

The momentum operator for a spin-less particle when confined to a 2D surface embedded into 3D space acquires a geometrical component proportional to the mean curvature that renders it Hermitian. As a consequence, the quantum force operator…

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…

One primary objective in submanifold geometry is to discover fascinating and significant classical examples of $H_1$. In this paper which relies on the theory we established in [Adv. Math. 405 (2022), 08514, 50 pages, arXiv:2101.11780] and…

We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H= p^2/2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem…

We analyze the different ways to define the energy operator in geometric theories of quantum mechanics. In some formulations the operator contains the scalar curvature as a multiplicative term. We show that such term can be canceled or…
