In this work, we introduce the notion of a two-Krein space and show that, starting from any classical Krein space, it is possible to construct spaces endowed with an indefinite two-inner product (admitting both positive and negative…
Hilbert space combines the properties of two fundamentally different types of mathematical spaces: vector space and metric space. While the vector-space aspects of Hilbert space, such as formation of linear combinations of state vectors,…
We show that a Krein-Feller operator is naturally associated to a fixed measure $\mu$, assumed positive, $\sigma$-finite, and non-atomic. Dual pairs of operators are introduced, carried by the two Hilbert spaces, $L^{2}\left(\mu\right)$ and…
We study several classes of indecomposable representations of quivers on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and their relation. Many examples are constructed using strongly irreducible operators. Some problems in operator theory are…

In the recently quickly developing context of quantum mechanics of unitary systems using a time-independent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian $H$ (having real spectrum and defined as acting in an unphysical but user-friendly Hilbert space ${\cal…
We suppose that $G$ is a locally compact abelian group, $Y$ is a measure space, and $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space on $G\times Y$ such that $H$ is naturally embedded into $L^2(G\times Y)$ and it is invariant under the…
One approach to multivariate operator theory involves concepts and techniques from algebraic and complex geometry and is formulated in terms of Hilbert modules. In these notes we provide an introduction to this approach including many…
We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H= p^2/2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem…

Using the frame formalism we determine some possible metrics and metric-compatible connections on the noncommutative differential geometry of the real quantum plane. By definition a metric maps the tensor product of two 1-forms into a…
An iterative procedure for the explicit construction of the nontrivial subspace of all symmetry-adapted configurations with non-zero weight in the ground-state of the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model is developed on the basis of a…
It is proven that in indefinite metric quantum field theory there exists a dense set of analytic vectors for the generator of the one parameter group of x^0-x^1 velocity transformations. This makes it possible to define complex velocity…
In this paper, we introduce a new concept of K-biframes for Hilbert spaces. We then examine several characterizations with the assistance of a biframe operator. Moreover, we investigate their properties from the perspective of operator…
The decoherent histories approach to quantum theory is applied to a class of reparametrization invariant models, which includes systems described by the Klein-Gordon equation, and by a minisuperspace Wheeler-DeWitt equation. A key step in…
A representation theorem for non-semibounded Hermitian quadratic forms in terms of a (non-semibounded) self-adjoint operator is proven. The main assumptions are closability of the Hermitian quadratic form, the direct integral structure of…
Why does quantum theory need the complex numbers? With a view toward answering this question, this paper argues that the usual Hilbert-space formalism is a special case of the general method of Markovian embeddings. This paper then…
We discuss the quantization of an unstable field through the construction of a "one-particle Hilbert space." The system considered here is a neutral scalar field evolving over a globally hyperbolic static spacetime and subject to a…
Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by means of various mathematical tools -- the theory of…
For a quantum system with Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ of dimension $N$ and a set $S$ of $n$ Hermitian operators ${\cal O}_i$, a basic question is to understand the set $E_S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of points $\vec{e}$ where $e_i = {\rm tr}(\rho…
