We study the ladder operator on scalar fields, mapping a solution of the Klein-Gordon equation onto another solution with a different mass, when the operator is at most first order in derivatives. Imposing the commutation relation between…

The eigenvalues of the complete commuting set of self-adjoint operators determine the classification of states. We construct a classification for the image of the Jordan-Schwinger mapping of the su(2) algebra. We use the ladder operator…
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 $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…
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…
