We study the connections between operator moment sequences ${\mathcal T}=\displaystyle(T_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+}$ of self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and the local moment sequences $\langle{\mathcal T}x,x\rangle…
The situation of two independent observers conducting measurements on a joint quantum system is usually modelled using a Hilbert space of tensor product form, each factor associated to one observer. Correspondingly, the operators describing…
The momentum operator $ {\bf p} = - i {\bx \nabla} $ has radial component $ {\bf \tilde p} \equiv - i {\bf \hat{r}} ({1 \over r} \partial_r r).$ We show that ${\bf \tilde p} $ is the space part of a 4-vector operator, the zero component of…
On the basis of the generalization of the theorem about K-odd operators (K is the Dirac's operator), certain linear combination is constructed, which appears to commute with the Dirac Hamiltonian for Coulomb field. This operator coincides…
We construct a family of self-adjoint operators D_N which have compact resolvent and bounded commutators with the coordinate algebra of the quantum projective space CP_q(l), for any l>1 and 0<q<1. They provide 0^+ dimensional equivariant…
We consider momentum operators on intrinsically curved manifolds. Given that the momentum operators are Killing vector fields whose integral curves are geodesics, it is shown that the corresponding manifold is either flat, or otherwise of…
A general form of the photon position operator with commuting components fulfilling some natural axioms is obtained. This operator commutes with the photon helicity operator, is Hermitian with respect to the Bialynicki-Birula scalar product…
A determinant in algebraic $K$-theory is associated to any two almost commuting Fredholm operators. On the other hand, one can calculate a homologically defined invariant known as joint torsion. We answer in the affirmative a conjecture of…
The $d^2$ Pauli operators attached to a composite qudit in dimension $d$ may be mapped to the vectors of the symplectic module $\mathcal{Z}_d^{2}$ ($\mathcal{Z}_d$ the modular ring). As a result, perpendicular vectors correspond to…
Projection operators arise naturally as one-particle density operators associated to Slater determinants in fields such as quantum mechanics and the study of determinantal processes. In the context of the semiclassical approximation of…
We characterize all position and momentum observables on R and on R^3. We study some of their operational properties and discuss their covariant joint observables.
Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n+1$. We demonstrate that $n$-component third-order Hamiltonian operators of differential-geometric type are parametrised by the algebraic variety of elements of rank $n$ in $S^2(\Lambda^2V)$ that lie…
In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and in relativistic quantum field theory, time t is a parameter and thus the time-reversal operator T does not actually reverse the sign of t. However, in relativistic quantum mechanics the time…
In a series of papers we have argued that the 'basic' physical procedure of minimal coupling giving the quantum description of a Hamiltonian system interacting with a magnetic field, can be given a very satisfactory mathematical formulation…
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…
We investigate homogeneous third-order Hamiltonian operators of differential-geometric type. Based on the correspondence with quadratic line complexes, a complete list of such operators for two and three components is obtained.
In this paper, we give the complete description of maps on self-adjoint bounded operators on Hilbert space which preserve a triadic relation involving the difference of operators and either commutativity or quasi-commutativity in both…
Observable properties of a classical physical system can be modelled deterministically as functions from the space of pure states to outcomes; dually, states can be modelled as functions from the algebra of observables to outcomes. The…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $\big\{A_{n}\big\}_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Then a bounded operator $B$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{K} \supseteq \mathcal{H}$ is said to be…
