In the context of a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we study the self-adjointness of $\nabla^{\dagger}\nabla+V$ where $\nabla$ is a metric covariant derivative (with formal adjoint $\nabla^{\dagger}$) on a Hermitian vector…

Let $A$ be a $\nu$-vector of self-adjoint, pairwise commuting operators and $B$ a bounded operator of class $C^{n_0}(A)$. We prove a Taylor-like expansion of the commutator $[B,f(A)]$ for a large class of functions $f\colon\mathbm{R}^\nu…

We show that a simplified version of the Dirac interaction operator given by $\hat H_\mathrm{I} \propto \int d\mathbf{k}d\mathbf{p}(\hat a(\mathbf{k}) + \hat a^\dagger(-\mathbf{k})) \hat b^\dagger(\mathbf{p} + \mathbf{k}) \hat…

Let ${\mathsf D}$ and ${\mathsf H}$ be the self-adjoint, one-dimensional Dirac and Schr\"odinger operators in $L^{2}(\mathbb{R};\mathbb{C}^{2})$ and $L^{2}(\mathbb{R};\mathbb{C})$ respectively. It is well known that, in absence of 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…

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…

In this paper, we study self-adjointness and spectrum of operators of the form $$H=\displaystyle -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+Fx, F>0 \quad\text{on} \quad \mathcal{H}=L^{2}(-L,L).$$ $H$ is called Stark operator and describes a quantum particle in a…

We develop a general technique for finding self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator that respect a given set of its symmetries. Problems of this type naturally arise when considering two- and three-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators…

This monograph contains revised and enlarged materials from previous lecture notes of undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars delivered by both authors over the last years on a subject that is central both in abstract operator…

For $n\in\{2,3\}$ we prove minimax characterisations of eigenvalues in the gap of the $n$ dimensional Dirac operator with an potential, which may have a Coulomb singularity with a coupling constant up to the critical value $1/(4-n)$. This…

For a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…

We consider the Dirac equation with a magnetic-solenoid field (the superposition of the Aharonov--Bohm solenoid field and a collinear uniform magnetic field). Using von Neumann's theory of the self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators,…

If $T$ is a (densely defined) self-adjoint operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $I$ stands for the identity operator, we introduce the delta function operator $\lambda \mapsto \delta \left(\lambda I-T\right) $ at…

We turn back to the well known problem of interpretation of the Schrodinger operator with the pseudopotential being the first derivative of the Dirac function. We show that the problem in its conventional formulation contains hidden…

In this paper it is proved that each densely defined $J$-skew-symmetric operator (or each $J$-isometric operator with $\overline{D(A)}=\overline{R(A)}=H$) in a Hilbert space $H$ has a $J$-skew-self-adjoint (respectively $J$-unitary)…

We explore the Hamiltonian operator H=-d^2/dx^2 + z \delta(x) where x is real, \delta(x) is the Dirac delta function, and z is an arbitrary complex coupling constant. For a purely imaginary z, H has a (real) spectral singularity at…

In this article we investigate spectral properties of the coupling $H+V_\lambda$, where $H=-i\alpha\cdot\nabla +m\beta$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb R^3$, $m>0$ and $V_\lambda$ is an electrostatic shell potential (which depends on…
