Self-adjoint Time Operator is the Rule for Discrete Semibounded Hamiltonians

چکیده
We prove explicitly that to every discrete, semibounded Hamiltonian with constant degeneracy and with finite sum of the squares of the reciprocal of its eigenvalues and whose eigenvectors span the entire Hilbert space there exists a characteristic self-adjoint time operator which is canonically conjugate to the Hamiltonian in a dense subspace of the Hilbert space. Moreover, we show that each characteristic time operator generates an uncountable class of self-adjoint operators canonically conjugate with the same Hamiltonian.

متن کاملWhat Could Have We Been Missing While Pauli's Theorem Was in Force? *
Pauli’s theorem asserts that the canonical commutation relation [T,H] = iI only admits Hilbert space solutions that form a system of imprimitivities on the real line, so that only non-self-adjoint time operators exist in single Hilbert quantum mechanics. This, however, is contrary to the fact that there is a large class of solutions to [T, H] = iI, including self-adjoint time operator solutions...
متن کاملThe Consistency Of a Bounded, Self-Adjoint Time Operator Canonically Conjugate to a Hamiltonian with Non-empty Point Spectrum
Pauli’s well known theorem (W. Pauli, Hanbuch der Physik vol. 5/1, ed. S. Flugge, (1926) p.60) asserts that the existence of a self-adjoint time operator canonically conjugate to a given Hamiltonian implies that the time operator and the Hamiltonian posses completely continuous spectra spanning the entire real line. Thus the conclusion that there exists no self-adjoint time operator conjugate t...
متن کاملTriplet Extensions I: Semibounded Operators in the Scale of Hilbert Spaces
The extension theory for semibounded symmetric operators is generalized by including operators acting in a triplet of Hilbert spaces. We concentrate our attention on the case where the minimal operator is essentially self-adjoint in the basic Hilbert space and construct a family of its self-adjoint extensions inside the triplet. All such extensions can be described by certain boundary condition...
متن کاملOn the Right Hamiltonian for Singular Perturbations: General Theory
Let a pair of self-adjoint operators fA 0;W 0g be such that (a) there is a dense domain D dom(A) \ dom(W ) that _ H = (A +W )jD is semibounded from below (stability domain), (b) the symmetric operator _ H is not essentially self-adjoint (singularity of the perturbation), (c) the Friedrichs extension  of _ A = AjD is maximal with respect to W , i.e., dom(p W )\ ker( _ A I) = f0g, < 0. Let fWng1...
