We construct the spectral decomposition of field operators in bosonic quantum field theory as a limit of a strongly continuous family of positive-operator-valued measure decompositions. The latter arise from integrals over families of…
We consider difference operators in $L^2$ on $\R$ of the form $$ L f(s)=p(s)f(s+i)+q(s) f(s)+r(s) f(s-i) ,$$ where $i$ is the imaginary unit. The domain of definiteness are functions holomorphic in a strip with some conditions of decreasing…
We comment on the present status, the concepts and their limitations, and the successes and open problems of the various approaches to a relativistic quantum theory of elementary particles, with a hindsight to questions concerning quantum…
A new approach to normal operators in real Hilbert spaces is discussed, and a spectral representation is obtained, derived directly from the complex case. The results are then applied to quaternionic normal operators, regarded as a special…
We derive quantum kinetic equations for scalar fields undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space (quantum reflection). Our central finding is that in systems with certain space-time symmetries,…
In this article, the existence of the spectrum (the eigenvalues) for the nonlinear continuous operators acting in the Banach spaces is investigated. For the study, this question is used a different approach that allows the studying of all…

The dynamics of quantum field theories on bounded domains requires the introduction of boundary conditions on the quantum fields. We address the problem from a very general perspective by using charge conservation as a fundamental principle…
We propose a new approach to the spectral theory of perturbed linear operators , in the case of a simple isolated eigenvalue. We obtain two kind of results: ''radius bounds'' which ensure perturbation theory applies for perturbations up to…
A formal fourth order differential operator with a singular coefficient that is a linear combination of the Dirac delta-function and its derivatives is considered. The asymptotic behavior of spectra and eigenfunctions of a family of…
There are self-adjoint operators which determine both spectral and semispectral measures. These measures have very different commutativity and covariance properties. This fact poses a serious question on the physical meaning of such a…
Much of the mathematical development of quantum field theory has been in support of determining the S-matrix in order to calculate scattering cross sections. However there is also an interest in determining how expectation values of field…
Lecture notes for one of the courses at the OPSFA Summerschool 6, July 11-15, 2016. All the results in these notes have appeared in the literature. Many special functions are eigenfunctions to explicit operators, such as difference and…
We discuss some basic aspects of quantum fields on star graphs, focusing on boundary conditions, symmetries and scale invariance in particular. We investigate the four-fermion bulk interaction in detail. Using bosonization and vertex…
In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String…
A method for solving linear initial boundary value problems was recently reimplemented as a true spectral transform method. As part of this reformulation, the precise sense in which the spectral transforms diagonalize the underlying spatial…
