The class of operator-valued functions which are homogeneous of degree one, holomorphic in the open right polyhalfplane, have positive semidefinite real parts there and take selfadjoint operator values at real points, and its subclass…
A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…
It is an easily deduced fact that any four-component spin 1/2 state for a massive particle is a linear combination of pairs of two-component simultaneous rotation eigenstates, where `simultaneous' means the eigenspinors of a given pair…
The paper focuses on various properties and applications of the homotopy operator, which occurs in the Poincar\'{e} lemma. In the first part, an abstract operator calculus is constructed, where the exterior derivative is an abstract…
Let $G_\C$ be a connected, linear algebraic group defined over $\R$, acting regularly on a finite dimensional vector space $V_\C$ over $\C$ with $\R$-structure $V_\R$. Assume that $V_\C$ posseses a Zariski-dense orbit, so that…
The basic properties of Poincare gauge invariant Hilbert bundles over Lorentzian manifolds are derived. Quantum connections are introduced in such bundles, which govern a parallel transport that is shown to satisfy the strong equivalence…
Two particles, described by an irreducible two-particle representation of the Poincar\'e group, are correlated by the constraints that the constancy of the Casimir operators imposes on the state space. This correlation can be understood as…
We extend a procedure for construction of the photon position operators with transverse eigenvectors and commuting components [Phys. Rev. A 59, 954 (1999)] to body rotations described by three Euler angles. The axial angle can be made a…
We establish a method for calculating the Poincar\'e series of moduli spaces constructed as quotients of smooth varieties by suitable non-reductive group actions; examples of such moduli spaces include moduli spaces of unstable vector or…
We present an in-depth investigation of the ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ momentum space describing point particles coupled to Einstein gravity in three space-time dimensions. We introduce different sets of coordinates on the group manifold and…
We investigate the PT-symmetry of the quantum group invariant XXZ chain. We show that the PT-operator commutes with the quantum group action and also discuss the transformation properties of the Bethe wavefunction. We exploit the fact that…
We prove Feynman-Kac formulas for the semigroups generated by selfadjoint operators in a class containing Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonians known from solid state physics. The latter model multi-polarons, i.e., a fixed number of quantum mechanical…
We consider momentum operators on intrinsically curved manifolds. Given that the momentum operators are Killing vector fields whose integral curves are geodesics, it is shown that the corresponding manifold is either flat, or otherwise of…
We analyze possible local extensions of the Poincar\'e symmetry in light-cone gravity in four dimensions. We use a formalism where we represent the algebra on the two physical degrees of freedom, one with helicity $2$ and the other with…
We discuss a simple Casimir-type device for which the rotational energy reaches its global minimum when the device rotates about a certain axis rather than remains static. This unusual property is a direct consequence of the fact that the…
We show that the non-embedded eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on the real line with non-Hermitian potential $V$ lie in the disjoint union of two disks in the right and left half plane, respectively, provided that the $L^1-norm$ of $V$ is…
The semigroup of weighted composition operators $(W_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, defined by $$W_nf(z)=(1+z+\cdots +z^n)f(z^n),$$ acts on the classical Hardy-Hilbert space $H^{2}(\mathbb{D})$, and exhibits intriguing connections with both the…
The polynomials in the generators of a unitary representation of the Poincar\'e group constitute an algebra which maps the dense subspace S of smooth, rapidly decreasing wavefunctions to itself. This mathematical result is highly welcome to…
Families of Lorentz, but not Poincare, invariant vacua are constructed for a massless scalar field in 4D Minkowski space. These are generalizations of the Rindler vacuum with a larger symmetry group. Explicit expressions are given as…
A deformation of Heisenberg algebra induces among other consequences a loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Therefore, these operators are not Hermitian, nor is the Hamiltonian operator built from them. In the…
