Starting with the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, fundamental to quantum physics, we first show how the ordering of the non-commuting operators intrinsic to that algebra gives rise to generalizations of the classical Stirling Numbers of…
We propose a generalization of Heisenberg picture quantum mechanics in which a Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics is formulated directly for dynamical systems on a manifold with non--commuting coordinates, which act as operators on an…
In the literature concerning the Laguerre-type weight function $x^\lambda w_0(x), x\in[0,+\infty)$, the Jacobi-type weight function $(1-x)^{\alpha}(1+x)^{\beta}w_0(x),x\in[-1,1]$, and the shifted Jacobi-type weight function…
For linear operators which factor with suitable assumptions concerning commutativity of the factors, we introduce several notions of a decomposition. When any of these hold then questions of null space and range are subordinated to the same…
The ladder operators in harmonic oscillator are a well-known strong tool for various problems in physics. In the same sense, it is sometimes expected to handle the problems of repulsive harmonic oscillator in a similar way to the ladder…
Different finite difference replacements for the derivative are analyzed in the context of the Heisenberg commutation relation. The type of the finite difference operator is shown to be tied to whether one can naturally consider $P$ and $X$…
In this short note, we present certain generalized versions of the commutator formulas of some natural operators on manifolds, and give some applications.
When an eigenvector of a semi-bounded operator is positive, we show that a remarkably simple argument allows to obtain upper and lower bounds for its associated eigenvalue. This theorem is a substantial generalization of Barta-like…
We explore commutativity up to a factor, $AB=\lambda BA$, for bounded operators in a complex Hilbert space. Conditions on the possible values of the factor $\lambda$ are formulated and shown to depend on spectral properties of the operators…
A unified approach to the concept of a Hausdorff operator is proposed in such a way that a number of classical and new operators feet into the given definition. Conditions are given for the boundedness of the operators under consideration…
We give a Riemann-Hilbert approach to the theory of matrix orthogonal polynomials. We will focus on the algebraic aspects of the problem, obtaining difference and differential relations satisfied by the corresponding orthogonal polynomials.…
In this paper, we study Hamiltonian operators which are sum of a first order operator and of a Poisson tensor, in two spatial independent variables. In particular, a complete classification of these operators is presented in two and three…
We discuss several seemingly assorted objects: the umbral calculus, generalised translations and associated transmutations, symbolic calculus of operators. The common framework for them is representations of the Weyl algebra of the…
Let $D$ and $U$ be linear operators in a vector space (or more generally, elements of an associative algebra with a unit). We establish binomial-type identities for $D$ and $U$ assuming that either their commutator $[D,U]$ or the second…
Type III multi-step rationally-extended harmonic oscillator and radial harmonic oscillator potentials, characterized by a set of $k$ integers $m_1$, $m_2$, \ldots, $m_k$, such that $m_1 < m_2 < \cdots < m_k$ with $m_i$ even (resp.\ odd) for…
This work introduces non-Hermitian position-dependent mass Hamiltonians characterized by complex ladder operators and real, equidistant spectra. By imposing the Heisenberg-Weyl algebraic structure as a constraint, we derive the…
In this paper, we further investigate the problem of commutativity up to a factor (or $\lambda$-commutativity) in the setting of bounded and unbounded linear operators in a complex Hilbert space. The results are based on a new approach to…
In the preceding paper arXiv:0802.3252 [quant-ph] we treated a model given by a master equation with generalized Lindblad form, and examined the algebraic structure related to some Lie algebras and constructed an approximate solution. In…
We extend the recently much-studied Hardy factorization theorems to the weight case. The key point of this paper is to establish the factorization theorems without individual condition on the weight functions. As a direct application, we…
Using the modified factorization method employed by Mielnik for the harmonic oscillator, we show that isospectral structures associated with a second order operator $H$, can always be constructed whenever $H$ could be factored, or exist…
