We develop the concept of operators in Hilbert spaces which are similar to their adjoints via antiunitary operators, the latter being not necessarily involutive. We discuss extension theory, refined polar and singular-value decompositions,…

In modeling quantum systems or wave phenomena, one is often interested in identifying eigenstates that approximately carry a specified property; scattering states approximately align with incoming and outgoing traveling waves, for instance,…

We study the measurement for the unambiguous discrimination of two mixed quantum states that are described by density operators $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ of rank d, the supports of which jointly span a 2d-dimensional Hilbert space. Based on two…

We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

An adjoint pair is a pair of densely defined linear operators $A, B$ on a Hilbert space such that $\langle Ax,y\rangle=\langle x,By\rangle$ for $x\in \cD(A), y \in \cD(B).$ We consider adjoint pairs for which $0$ is a regular point for both…

We find first structural background information about the reasons that for any C*-algebra $A$ and any two Hilbert $A$-modules $M \subseteq N$ with $M^\perp=\{0\}$, every bounded $A$-linear map $N \to A$ (or $N \to N)$ vanishing on $M$ might…

The problem of construction a quantum mechanical evolution for the Schrodinger equation with a degenerate Hamiltonian which is a symmetric operator that does not have self-adjoint extensions is considered. Self-adjoint regularization of the…

In this work, we focus on the multiplicity of singular spectrum for operators of the form $A^\omega=A+\sum_{n}\omega_n C_n$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, for a self-adjoint operator $A$ and a countable collection $\{C_n\}_{n}$…

It is shown that if the C operator for a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian with simple eigenvalues is not unique, then it is unbounded. Apart from the special cases of finite-matrix Hamiltonians and Hamiltonians generated by differential expressions…

We investigate structural properties and normality criteria for certain classes of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We show that an operator $T$ with polar decomposition $T = U|T|$ is self-adjoint if and only if $T$ is…

Weyl-von Neumann Theorem asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators $A,B$ on a Hilbert space $H$ are unitarily equivalent modulo compacts, i.e., $uAu^*+K=B$ for some unitary $u\in \mathcal{U}(H)$ and compact self-adjoint operator $K$,…

This paper deals with the generalized spectrum of continuously invertible linear operators defined on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. More precisely, we consider two bounded, coercive, and self-adjoint operators $\bc{A, B}: V\mapsto…

Suppose $\Cal J$ is a two-sided quasi-Banach ideal of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\Cal H$. We show that an operator $T\in\Cal J$ can be expressed as finite linear combination of commutators $[A,B]$…

In this paper, we give a multiplication operator representation of bounded self-adjoint operators T on a Hilbert space H such that -- is a frame for H, for some -- . We state a necessary condition in order for a frame -- to have a…

Let $\mathcal U(d)$ be the group of $d\times d$ unitary matrices. We find conditions to ensure that a $\mathcal U(d)$-homogeneous $d$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ is unitarily equivalent to multiplication by the coordinate functions on some…

It often goes unnoticed that, even for a finite number of degrees of freedom, the canonical commutation relations have many inequivalent irreducible unitary representations; the free particle and a particle in a box provide examples that…

For a tuple $T$ of Hilbert space operators, the 'commuting dilation constant' is the smallest number $c$ such that the operators of $T$ are a simultaneous compression of commuting normal operators of norm at most $c$. We present numerical…

We consider the question of, given operators $A$, $Z$ and a sequence of invertible operators $U_n\to Z$, whether the sequence $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is bounded in norm, as well as generalizations of this where $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is modified by some…

Let $A$ and $B$ be compact operators over a topological space $X$ and suppose that these operators are normal and have same distinct eigenvalues at each point. By obstruction theory, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $A$…

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 $$…
