Criteria for an algebraic operator $T$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ to be unitary are established. The main one is written in terms of the convergence of sequences of the form $\{\|T^nh\|\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with $h\in…

In this article, we prove the following spectral theorem for right linear normal operators (need not to be bounded) in quaternionic Hilbert spaces: Let $T$ be an unbounded right quaternionic linear normal operator in a quaternionic Hilbert…

We study the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators $$ S(q)u:=-u"+q(x)u,\quad u\in \mathrm{Dom}\left(S(q)\right), $$ with $1$-periodic real-valued singular potentials $q(x)\in H_{\operatorname{per}}^{-1}(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ on the…

A model operator $H$ associated with the energy operator of a system describing three particles in interaction, without conservation of the number of particles, is considered. The precise location and structure of the essential spectrum of…

We consider the self-adjoint third order operator with 1-periodic coefficients on the real line. The spectrum of the operator is absolutely continuous and covers the real line. We determine the high energy asymptotics of the periodic,…

We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical…

It is well known that for a single bounded operator $A_0$ on a Hilbert $\mathfrak{H}$, if $\mathfrak{M}\subset \mathfrak{H}$ is hyperinvariant for $A_0$, then the spectrum of $A_0|_{\mathfrak{M}}$ is contained in the spectrum of $A_0$. In…

In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $\hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this…

We give a spectral theorem for unital representations of Hermitian commutative unital *-algebras by possibly unbounded operators in a pre-Hilbert space. A better result is known for the case in which the *-algebra is countably generated.

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

We investigate the incorporation of space noncommutativity into field theory by extending to the spectral continuum the minisuperspace action of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator propagator with an enlarged Heisenberg algebra. In…

Let A(x) be a holomorphic family of bounded self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space H and let A(x)_n be the orthogonal compressions of A(x) to the span of first n elements of an orthonormal basis of H. The problem considered…

The spectral properties of a set of local gauge-invariant composite operators are investigated in the $U(1)$ Higgs model quantized in the 't Hooft $R_{\xi}$ gauge. These operators enable us to give a gauge-invariant description of the…

Given a dissipative operator $A$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ such that the quadratic form $f\mapsto \mbox{Im}\langle f,Af\rangle$ is closable, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an extension of $A$ to still be…

We analyze the properties of the conditional amplitude operator, the quantum analog of the conditional probability which has been introduced in [quant-ph/9512022]. The spectrum of the conditional operator characterizing a quantum bipartite…

It often goes unnoticed that, even for a finite number of degrees of freedom, the canonical commutation relations have many inequivalent irreducible unitary representations; the free particle and a particle in a box provide examples that…

We review previous work on spectral flow in connection with certain self-adjoint model operators $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, joining endpoints $A_\pm$, and the index of the operator $D_{A}^{}= (d/d t) + A$…

A representation theorem for non-semibounded Hermitian quadratic forms in terms of a (non-semibounded) self-adjoint operator is proven. The main assumptions are closability of the Hermitian quadratic form, the direct integral structure of…

We prove that a dense subset of limit periodic operators have spectra which are homogeneous Cantor sets in the sense of Carleson. Moreover, by using work of Egorova, our examples have purely absolutely continuous spectrum. The construction…
