We prove explicitly that to every discrete, semibounded Hamiltonian with constant degeneracy and with finite sum of the squares of the reciprocal of its eigenvalues and whose eigenvectors span the entire Hilbert space there exists a…

We study the selfadjoint time operator recently constructed by one of the authors. We will show that this time operator must be interpreted as a ``selfadjoint variant'' of the time operator.

We introduce a self-adjoint time operator $T_w = i\hbar\bigl(\partial_E + \tfrac12\,\partial_E\ln w(E)\bigr)$ on the weighted energy space $L^2(\mathbb R,\,w(E)\,dE)$. Under mild conditions on the weight $w$ (positivity, local absolute…

We consider the characteristic time operator $\mathsf{T}$ introduced in [E. A. Galapon, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 458:2671 (2002)] which is bounded and self-adjoint. For a semibounded discrete Hamiltonian $\mathsf{H}$ with some growth…

Closed operators in Hilbert space defined by a non-self-adjoint resolution of the identity $\{X(\lambda)\}_{\lambda\in {\mb R}}$, whose adjoints constitute also a resolution of the identity, are studied . In particular, it is shown that a…

W. Pauli pointed out that the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semibounded character of the Hamiltonian spectrum. As a result, people have been arguing a lot about the time-energy uncertainty relation and…

We consider in a Hilbert space a self-adjoint operator H and a family Phi=(Phi_1,...,Phi_d) of mutually commuting self-adjoint operators. Under some regularity properties of H with respect to Phi, we propose two new formulae for a time…

For a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…

In this paper, we study self-adjointness and spectrum of operators of the form $$H=\displaystyle -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+Fx, F>0 \quad\text{on} \quad \mathcal{H}=L^{2}(-L,L).$$ $H$ is called Stark operator and describes a quantum particle in a…

A conjugate operator $T$ of one-dimensional harmonic oscillator $N$ is defined by an operator satisfying canonical commutation relation $[N,T]=-i\one$ on some domain but not necessarily a dense one. Examples of conjugate operators include…

If $T$ is a semibounded self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $(H, \, (\cdot , \cdot))$ then the closure of the sesquilinear form $(T \cdot , \cdot)$ is a unique Hilbert space completion. In the non-semibounded case a closure is a…

It is shown that any real and even function of the phase (time) operator has a self-adjoint extension and its relation to the general phase operator problem is analyzed.

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 $$…

The problem of existence of a self-adjoint time operator conjugate to a Hamiltonian with SU(1,1) dynamical symmetry is investigated. In the space spanned by the eigenstates of the generator $K_3$ of the SU(1,1) group, the time operator for…

We consider a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable Hilbert space, with pure-point and simple spectrum with accumulations at finite points. Explicit conditions are stated on the eigenvalues of $T$ and on the bounded perturbation $V$…

Finite rank perturbations of a semi-bounded self-adjoint operator A are studied in the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with A. A concept of quasi-boundary value space is used to describe self-adjoint operator realizations of regular and…

In this paper, we establish results about operators similar to their adjoints. This is carried out in the setting of bounded and also unbounded operators on a Hilbert space. Among the results, we prove that an unbounded closed operator…

In single Hilbert space, Pauli's well-known theorem implies that the existence of a self-adjoint time operator canonically conjugate to a given Hamiltonian signifies that the time operator and the Hamiltonian possess completely continuous…

The time operator for a quantum singular oscillator of the Calogero-Sutherland type is constructed in terms of the generators of the SU(1,1) group. In the space spanned by the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, the time operator is not…

We introduce a self-adjoint operator that indicates the direction of time within the framework of standard quantum mechanics. That is, as a function of time its expectation value decreases monotonically for any initial state. This operator…
