We consider the Hamiltonian $H$ of a particle in one dimension with a position dependent mass for which we apply the recent strategy of the so-called {\em abstract ladder operators}, in the attempt to find its eigenvalues and eigenvectors.…
We consider a rather general version of ladder operator $Z$ used by some authors in few recent papers, $[H_0,Z]=\lambda Z$ for some $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, $H_0=H_0^\dagger$, and we show that several interesting results can be deduced from…
In this paper we extend some previous results on weak pseudo-bosons and on their related bi-coherent states. The role of {\em compatible} functions is discussed in details, and some examples are considered. The pseudo-bosonic ladder…

In literature ladder operators of different nature exist. The most famous are those obeying canonical (anti-) commutation relations, but they are not the only ones. In our knowledge, all ladder operators have a common feature: the lowering…
