In the Schroedinger formulation of non-Hermitian quantum theories a positive-definite metric operator $\eta\equiv e^{-Q}$ must be introduced in order to ensure their probabilistic interpretation. This operator also gives an equivalent…
It is known that the unified transform method may be used to solve any well-posed initial-boundary value problem for a linear constant-coefficient evolution equation on the finite interval or the half-line. In contrast, classical methods…
The Koopman-von Neumann (KvN) formalism recasts classical mechanics in a Hilbert space framework using complex wavefunctions and linear operators, akin to quantum mechanics. Instead of evolving probability densities in phase space (as in…
A quaternionic wavefunction consisting of real and scalar functions is found to satisfy the quaternionic momentum eigenvalue equation. Each of these components are found to satisfy a generalized wave equation of the form…
There are self-adjoint operators which determine both spectral and semispectral measures. These measures have very different commutativity and covariance properties. This fact poses a serious question on the physical meaning of such a…
A quasi-product on the normed space is defined. In addition, the notions of the eigenvectors of a linear operator can be extended for the nonlinear operator. Based on the quasi-product and the generalized eigenvectors, the spectral theorems…
Quantum mechanics owes much of its extraordinary success to a Hilbertian program of mathematical formalization. Yet, the formalism remains poorly aligned with the practical limitations of computations in finite dimensions and under finite…
Observables of a quantum system, described by self-adjoint operators in a von Neumann algebra or affiliated with it in the unbounded case, form a conditionally complete lattice when equipped with the spectral order. Using this…
It has recently been shown that a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H possessing an unbroken PT symmetry (i) has a real spectrum that is bounded below, and (ii) defines a unitary theory of quantum mechanics with positive norm. The proof of…
The paper develops a theory of spectral boundary value problems from the perspective of general theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces. An abstract form of spectral boundary value problem with generalized boundary conditions is…
Using the spectral theorem we compute the Quantum Fourier Transform (or Vacuum Characteristic Function) $\langle \Phi, e^{itH}\Phi\rangle$ of an observable $H$ defined as a self-adjoint sum of the generators of a finite-dimensional Lie…
The bispectral problem is motivated by an effort to understand and extend a remarkable phenomenon in Fourier analysis on the real line: the operator of time-and-band limiting is an integral operator admitting a second-order differential…
In this note first we study the Weyl operators and Weyl S-spectrum of a bounded right quaternionic linear operator, in the setting of the so-called S-spectrum, in a right quaternionic Hilbert space. In particular, we give a characterization…
If scattering amplitudes are ordinary complex numbers (not quaternions) there is a universal algebraic relationship between the six coherent cross sections of any three scatterers (taken singly and pairwise). A violation of this…
It is the matter of fact that quantum mechanics operates with notions that are not determined in the frame of the mechanics' formalism. Among them we can call the notion of "wave-particle" (that, however, does not appear in both classical…
In this work, we present a complete spectral study of a family of non-normal operators arising in Reggeon field theory. This family of operators is an original example who permit us to discover the recent theory of physical requirement of…
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be an atomless semifinite von Neumann algebra (or an atomic von Neumann algebra with all atoms having the same trace) acting on a (not necessarily separable) Hilbert space $H$ equipped with a semifinite faithful normal…
Quaternionic analysis is regarded as a broadly accepted branch of classical analysis referring to many different types of extensions of the Cauchy-Riemann equations to the quaternion skew field $\mathbb H$. In this work we deals with a…
We propose giving the mathematical concept of the pseudospectrum a central role in quantum mechanics with non-Hermitian operators. We relate pseudospectral properties to quasi-Hermiticity, similarity to self-adjoint operators, and basis…
The notion of the wave spectrum of a semi-bounded symmetric operator was introduced by one of the authors in 2013. The wave spectrum is a topological space determined by the operator in a canonical way. The definition uses a dynamical…
