A linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, in the classical approach of von Neumann, must be symmetric to guarantee self-adjointness. However, it can be shown that the symmetry could be ommited by using a criterion for the graph of…

We study $H=D^*D+V$, where $D$ is a first order elliptic differential operator acting on sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a Riemannian manifold $M$, and $V$ is a Hermitian bundle endomorphism. In the case when $M$ is geodesically…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be bounded with $C^1$ boundary. In this paper we consider Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+ W$ on $\Omega$ with $W(x)\approx\mathrm{dist}(x, \partial\Omega)^{-2}$ as $\mathrm{dist}(x, \partial\Omega)\to 0$.…
