We study the exterior derivative as a symmetric unbounded operator on square integrable 1-forms on a 3D bounded domain $D$. We aim to identify boundary conditions that render this operator self-adjoint. By the symplectic version of the…
In classical matrix theory, there exist useful extremal characterizations of eigenvalues and their sums for Hermitian matrices (due to Ky Fan, Courant-Fischer-Weyl and Wielandt) and some consequences such as the majorization assertion in…
We provide additional results in connection with Krein's formula, which describes the resolvent difference of two self-adjoint extensions A_1 and A_2 of a densely defined closed symmetric linear operator A with (possibly infinite) equal…
In this paper, the problem of the self-adjointness for the case of a quantum minisuperspace Hamiltonian retrieved from a Brans-Dicke (BD) action is investigated. Our matter content is presented in terms of a perfect fluid, onto which the…
We prove a variant of Krein's resolvent formula expressing the resolvents of self-adjoint extensions through the associated boundary conditions. Applications to solvable quantum-mechanical problems are discussed.
We investigate minimal operator corresponding to operator differential expression with exit from space, study its selfadjoint extensions, also for one particular selfadjoint extension corresponding to boundary value problem with some…
We consider a singular Sturm-Liouville expression with the indefinite weight sgn x. To this expression there is naturally a self-adjoint operator in some Krein space associated. We characterize the local definitizability of this operator in…
We give a proof that in settings where Von Neumann deficiency indices are finite the spectral counting functions of two different self-adjoint extensions of the same symmetric operator differ by a uniformly bounded term (see also…
The spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm problem is examined in the Galilean limit for the case in which a Coulomb potential is included. It is found that the application of the self-adjoint extension method to this system yields singular solutions only…
Semibounded symmetric operators have a distinguished self-adjoint extension, the Friedrichs extension. The eigenvalues of the Friedrichs extension are given by a variational principle that involves only the domain of the symmetric operator.…
This paper studies linear relations and their self-adjoint realizations arising from 2d-dimensional canonical systems, with a focus on how the symplectic structure interacts with boundary conditions. Understanding this interplay allows us…
Two families of symplectic methods specially designed for second-order time-dependent linear systems are presented. Both are obtained from the Magnus expansion of the corresponding first-order equation, but otherwise they differ in…
A new proof of the Weyl limit point-limit circle criterion is obtained, with systematic emphasis on Sobolev-space methods.
A definition of relative discrete spectrum of noncommutative W*-dynamical systems is given in terms of the basic construction of von Neumann algebras, motivated from three perspectives: Firstly, as a complementary concept to relative weak…
In this article, the self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators satisfying anti-commutation relations are considered. It is proven that an anti-commutative type of the Glimm-Jaffe-Nelson commutator theorem follows. Its application to an…
We discuss the Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic electron with spin in the presence of an abelian magnetic monopole and note that it is not self-adjoint in the lowest two angular momentum modes. We then use von Neumann's theory of…
For the example of the infinitely deep well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the…
The one-particle Dirac Hamiltonian with Coulomb interaction is known to be realised, in a regime of large (critical) couplings, by an infinite multiplicity of distinct self-adjoint operators, including a distinguished, physically most…
We prove an abstract criterion on spectral instability of nonnegative selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator and apply this to self-adjoint Neumann Laplacians on bounded Lipschitz domains, intervals, and graphs. Our results can be…
