This paper argues that non-self-adjoint operators can be observables. There are only four ways for this to occur: non-self-adjoint observables can either be normal operators, or be symmetric, or have a real spectrum, or have none of these…

We define the domain of a linear fractional transformation in a space of operators and show that both the affine automorphisms and the compositions of symmetries act transitively on these domains. Further, we show that Liouville's theorem…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For operators $T$ with at least two points in their…

On a bounded Lipschitz domain we consider two selfadjoint operator realizations of the same second order elliptic differential expression subject to Robin boundary conditions, where the coefficients in the boundary conditions are functions.…

In this paper, we shall consider the notion of bicomplex inner product and define bicomplex Hilbert space. We shall define $L^{2}[a,b]$ where the functions take bicomplex values. We shall prove the Theorem for a bounded self adjoint…

We show that formal Schr\"odinger operators with singular potentials from the space W^{-1}_{2,unif}(R) can be naturally defined to give selfadjoint and bounded below operators, which depend continuously in the uniform resolvent sense on the…

Let $T$ be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $H$ with domain $\mathcal D(T)$. Assume that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union of disjoint intervals $\Delta_k =[\alpha_{2k-1},\alpha_{2k}]$, $k\in \mathbb{Z}$, and $$…

We give a mathematically rigorous analysis which confirms the surprising results in a recent paper of Benilov, O'Brien and Sazonov about the spectrum of a highly singular non-self-adjoint operator that arises in a problem in fluid…

For a wide class of unbounded integral Hankel operators on the positive half-line, we prove essential self-adjointness on the set of smooth compactly supported functions.

In this paper, we study closed densely defined unbounded truncated Toeplitz operators on model space, where u is an inner function, that commute with modified compressed shifts. The work also establishes properties related to their…

In this short note we prove that a matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ is self-adjoint if and only if it is equivariant with respect to the action of a group $\Gamma\subset {\bf O}(n)$ which is isomorphic to $\otimes_{k=1}^n\mathbf{Z}_2$.…

We define the magnetic Schr\"odinger on an infinite graph by the data of a magnetic field, some weights on vertices and some weights on edges . We discuss essential self-adjointness of this operator for graphs of bounded degree. The main…

For locally convex spaces $X$ and $Y$, the continuous linear map $T:X \to Y$ is called bounded if there is a zero neighborhood $U$ of $X$ such that $T(U)$ is bounded in $Y$. Our main result is that the existence of an unbounded operator $T$…

The work is devoted to the study of the similarity of a correct restriction to some self-adjoint operator in the case when the minimal operator is symmetric. The resulting theorem was applied to the Sturm-Liouville operator and the Laplace…

The question if polynomially bounded operator is similar to a contraction was posed by Halmos and was answered in the negative by Pisier. His counterexample is an operator of infinite multiplicity, while all its restrictions on invariant…

Given the symmetric operator $A_N$ obtained by restricting the self-adjoint operator $A$ to $N$, a linear dense set, closed with respect to the graph norm, we determine a convenient boundary triple for the adjoint $A_N^*$ and the…

We obtain Taylor approximations for functionals $V\mapsto Tr(f(H_0+V))$ defined on the bounded self-adjoint operators, where $H_0$ is a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent and $f$ is a sufficiently nice scalar function, relaxing…

This article is devoted to the spectral analysis of the electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean plane. In the semiclassical limit, we derive a pseudo-differential effective operator that allows us to describe the spectrum…

We introduce the notion of formally self-adjoint conformally covariant polydifferential operators and give some constructions of families of such operators. In one direction, we show that any homogeneous conformally variational scalar…

We investigate the skew-adjoint extensions of a partial derivative operator acting in the direction of one of the sides a unit square. We investigate the unitary equivalence of such extensions and the spectra of such extensions. It follows…
