Coordinate formalism on abstract Hilbert space
نویسنده
چکیده
Coordinate formalism on Hilbert manifolds developed in [1] is reviewed. The results of [1] are applied to the simpliest case of a Hilbert manifold: the abstract Hilbert space. In particular, functional transformations preserving properties of various linear operators on Hilbert spaces are found. Any generalized solution of an arbitrary linear differential equation with constant coefficients is shown to be related to a smooth solution by a (functional) coordinate transformation. The results also suggest a way of using generalized functions to solve nonlinear problems on Hilbert spaces.

Coordinate Formalism in Abstract Hilbert Space: Kinematics of a Quantum Measurement
Coordinate form of tensor algebra on an abstract (infinite-dimensional) Hilbert space is presented. The developed formalism permits one to naturally include the improper states in the apparatus of quantum theory. In the formalism the observables are represented by the self-adjoint extensions of Hermitian operators. The unitary operators become linear isometries. The unitary evolution and the no...
متن کاملCoordinate formalism on Hilbert manifolds
The formalism of local coordinates on infinite-dimensional Hilbert manifolds is introduced. Images of charts on the manifolds are allowed to belong to arbitrary Hilbert spaces of functions including spaces of generalized functions. The corresponding local coordinate form of algebra of tensor fields on Hilbert manifolds is constructed. A single tensor equation in the formalism is shown to produc...
متن کاملLinear algebra and differential geometry on abstract Hilbert space
Isomorphisms of separable Hilbert spaces are analogous to isomorphisms of n-dimensional vector spaces. However, while n-dimensional spaces in applications are always realized as the Euclidean space Rn, Hilbert spaces admit various useful realizations as spaces of functions. In the paper this simple observation is used to construct a fruitful formalism of local coordinates on Hilbert manifolds. ...
متن کاملImportance of reversibility in the quantum formalism.
In this Letter I stress the role of causal reversibility (time symmetry), together with causality and locality, in the justification of the quantum formalism. First, in the algebraic quantum formalism, I show that the assumption of reversibility implies that the observables of a quantum theory form an abstract real C^{⋆} algebra, and can be represented as an algebra of operators on a real Hilbe...
متن کاملPOVMs and Naimark ’ s theorem without sums Extended abstract
We introduce POVMs within the categorical quantum mechanical formalism in terms of †-compact categories [2,7,8,17]. Our definition is justified by two facts: i. we provide a purely graphical abstract counterpart to Naimark’s theorem, which establishes a bijective correspondence between POVMs and abstract projective measurements on an extended system; ii. in the category of Hilbert spaces and li...
