The relativistic angular momentum is introduced as an extension of the non-relativistic analysis of allowed states in the phase space for a quantum particle. The paper shows the conceptual basis of the approach. An interesting feature of…
The global rotational degrees of freedom in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for an $N$-body system are completely separated from the internal ones. After removing the motion of center of mass, we find a complete set of $(2\ell+1)$ independent…

It is well-known that, due to the interaction between the spin and the magnetic field, the two-dimensional Pauli operator has an eigenvalue $0$ at the threshold of its essential spectrum. We show that when perturbed by an effectively…

The uncertainty relation between angle and orbital angular momentum had not been formulated in a similar form as the uncertainty relation between position and linear momentum because the angle variable is not represented by a quantum…
Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for indefinite…
We solve the stationary Schr\"odinger equation for a particle confined to a 3D spherical wedge -- the region $\{(r,\theta,\phi): 0 \leq r \leq R,\, 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi,\, 0 \leq \phi \leq \Phi\}$ with Dirichlet BCs on all surfaces. This…
The purpose of the paper is to study the foundations of the main axioms of Quantum Mechanics. From a general study of the mathematical properties of the models used in Physics to represent systems, we prove that the states of a system can…
For a very general class of unbounded self-adjoint operator function we prove upper bounds for eigenvalues which lie within arbitrary gaps of the essential spectrum. These upper bounds are given by triple variations. Furthermore, we find…
It is known that the momentum operator canonically conjugated to the position operator for a particle moving in some bounded interval of the line {(with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is not essentially self-adjoint}: it has a continuous…
This paper analyzes the algebraic and physical properties of the spin and orbital angular momenta of light in the quantum mechanical framework. The consequences of the fact that these are not angular momenta in the quantum mechanical sense…
We address three issues. i. The point particle assumption, inherent to non-quantum physics, is singular and entails divergent fields and integrals. ii. In quantum physics EM plays an asymmetric roll. It acts on quantum wave fields (wave…
The eigenvalue problem in quantum mechanics is reduced to quantization of the classical action of the physical system. State function of the system, $\psi_0(\phi)$, is written in the form of superposition of two plane waves in the phase…
In this article we study some spectral properties of the linear operator $\mathcal{L}\_{\Omega}+a$ defined on the space $C(\bar\Omega)$ by :$$ \mathcal{L}\_{\Omega}[\varphi] +a\varphi:=\int\_{\Omega}K(x,y)\varphi(y)\,dy+a(x)\varphi(x)$$…
We explain the origin of the controversy about the existence of a transverse angular momentum sum rule, and show that it stems from utilizing an incorrect result in the literature, concerning the expression for the expectation values of the…
There are enough reasons for us to consider time as a dynamical variable or operator; but according to Pauli's argument the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semi-boundedness of Hamiltonian spectrum. In this…
