The paper is devoted to counterexamples involving the triviality of domains of products and/or adjoints of densely defined operators.

In this paper, we establish results about operators similar to their adjoints. This is carried out in the setting of bounded and also unbounded operators on a Hilbert space. Among the results, we prove that an unbounded closed operator…

A theorem that is of aid in computing the domain of the adjoint operator is provided. It may serve e.g. as a criterion for selfadjointness of a symmetric operator, for normality of a formally normal operator or for $H$--selfadjointness of…

We show that a densely defined closable operator $A$ such that the resolvent set of $A^2$ is not empty is necessarily closed. This result is then extended to the case of a polynomial $p(A)$. We also generalize a recent result by…

We investigate the self-adjointness of the two dimensional Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions on an unbounded domain with an infinite number of corners. We prove that if the domain has no concave corners, then the…

This paper addresses two different but related questions regarding an unbounded symmetric tridiagonal operator: its self-adjointness and the approximation of its spectrum by the eigenvalues of its finite truncations. The sufficient…

Let $B$ be a bounded self-adjoint operator and let $A$ be a nonnegative self-adjoint unbounded operator. It is shown that if $BA$ is normal, it must be self-adjoint and so must be $AB$. Commutativity is necessary and sufficient for this…

In this article, we give conditions guaranteeing the commutativity of a bounded self-adjoint operator with an unbounded closed symmetric operator.

In this note, we give an example of a densely defined non-closable paranormal operator. Then, we give another example of a densely defined closable paranormal operator whose closure fails to be paranormal. These two examples are simpler…

The present paper is exclusively devoted to counterexamples about commutators and self commutators of unbounded operators on a Hilbert space. As a bonus, we provide a simpler counterexample than McIntosh's famous example obtained some while…

In this article, we prove and disprove several generalizations of unbounded versions of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem. As applications, we give conditions guaranteeing the commutativity of a bounded self-adjoint operator with an unbounded…

We show that C.J.Read's example of an operator T on l_1 which does not have any non-trivial invariant subspaces is not the adjoint of an operator on a predual of l_1. Furthermore, we present a bounded diagonal operator D such that even…

We give an explicit correspondence between the domains of the self-adjoint extensions of a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger differential operator with symmetric real-valued potential and the boundary conditions the functions in the resulting…

We revise the strong convergent Chernoff product formula and extend it, in a Hilbert space, to convergence in the operator-norm topology. Main results deal with the self-adjoint Chernoff product formula. The nonself-adjoint case concerns…

In this paper we give and prove a criterion for the normality of unbounded closed operators, which is a sort of a maximality result which will be called "double maximality". As applications, we show, under some assumptions, that the sum of…

In this paper we {\em discuss} diverse aspects of mutual relationship between adjoints and formal adjoints of unbounded operators bearing a matrix structure. We emphasize on the behaviour of row and column operators as they turn out to be…

By nonstandard analysis, a very short and elementary proof of the Spectral Theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators is given.

Given an infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a closed, infinite set $\Lambda$ of real numbers, we prove the existence of an unbounded self-adjoint operator whose graph is $G$ and whose spectrum is $\Lambda$.

Let $A$ and $B$ be two densely defined unbounded closeable operators in a Hilbert space such that their unbounded operator products $AB$ and $BA$ are also densely defined. Then all four operators possess adjoints and we obtain new inclusion…

We show that there exist unbounded functionals on the spaces of sequences that take at most one nonzero value on an arbitrary family of elements whose supports are pairwise disjoint.
