Spectral Family

Let T be a bounded symmetric operator in a Hilbert space H. According to the spectral theorem, T can be expressed as an integral in terms of its spectral family {Eλ}, each Eλ being a certain projection which is known to be the strong limit of some sequence of polynomials in T. It is a natural question to ask for an explicit sequence of polynomials in T that converges strongly to Eλ. So far as the author knows, no complete solution of this problem has been given even when H has finite dimension, i.e. when T is a finite symmetric matrix. Since a knowledge of the spectral family {Eλ} of a finite symmetric matrix carries with it a knowledge of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, a solution of the problem may have some practical value.

Adjoint Operators

We shall apply the spectral theorem for self adjoint operators in Hilbert space to study an operator version of the Stieltjes moment problem [1]. In the course of the work we shall make use of the Friedrichs extension theorem which states that any non-negative symmetric operator in Hilbert space has a non-negative self adjoint extension.

Complex Separable Hilbert Space

An operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is called complex symmetric if T has a symmetric matrix representation relative to some orthonormal basis for H. This paper focuses on the perturbation theory for the spectra of complex symmetric operators. We prove that each complex symmetric operator on a complex separable Hilbert space has a small compact perturbation being complex symmetric and having the single-valued extension property. Also it is proved that each complex symmetric operator on a complex separable Hilbert space has a small compact perturbation being complex symmetric and satisfying generalized Weyl?s theorem.

Finite Dimensional Case

We recall that a bounded linear operator T in a Hilbert space or finite-dimensional unitary space is said to be normal if T commutes with its adjoint operator T*, i.e. TT* = T*T. Most of the proofs given in the literature for the spectral theorem for normal operators, even in the finite-dimensional case, appeal to the corresponding results for Hermitian or unitary operators.

Symmetric Operators

Let H be a Hilbert space with inner product 〈,). A well-known theorem of von Neumann states that, if S is a symmetric operator in H, then S has a selfadjoint extension in H if and only if S has equal deficiency indices. This result was extended by Naimark, who proved that, even if the deficiency indices of S are unequal, there always exists a Hilbert space H1 such that H ⊆ H1 and S has a selfadjoint extension in H1.

Abstract We produce a simple criterion and a constructive recipe to identify those self-adjoint extensions of a lower semi-bounded symmetric operator on Hilbert space which have the same lower bound as the Friedrichs extension. Applications of this abstract result to a few instructive examples are then discussed.

Abstract The Hilbert space effect algebra is a fundamental mathematical structure which is used to describe unsharp quantum measurements in Ludwig’s formulation of quantum mechanics. Each effect represents a quantum (fuzzy) event. The relation of coexistence plays an important role in this theory, as it expresses when two quantum events can be measured together by applying a suitable apparatus. This paper’s first goal is to answer a very natural question about this relation, namely, when two effects are coexistent with exactly the same effects? The other main aim is to describe all automorphisms of the effect algebra with respect to the relation of coexistence. In particular, we will see that they can differ quite a lot from usual standard automorphisms, which appear for instance in Ludwig’s theorem. As a byproduct of our methods we also strengthen a theorem of Molnár.

SynopsisLet T be a hyponormal operator on a Hilbert space, so that T*T – TT*≧ 0. Let T have the Cartesian representation T = H + iJ where H has the spectral family {Et} and suppose that EtJ − JEt is compact for almost all t on a Borei set α satisfying E(α) = I. The principal result (Theorem 3) is that under these hypotheses T must be normal. In case T is hyponormal and essentially normal some sufficient conditions are given assuring that, for a fixed t, EtJ − JEt is compact.
