The rigged Hilbert space approach to the Lippmann - Schwinger equation . Part I
نویسنده
چکیده
We exemplify the way the rigged Hilbert space deals with the Lippmann-Schwinger equation by way of the spherical shell potential. We explicitly construct the Lippmann-Schwinger bras and kets along with their energy representation, their time evolution and the rigged Hilbert spaces to which they belong. It will be concluded that the natural setting for the solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation—and therefore for scattering theory—is the rigged Hilbert space rather than just the Hilbert space.

Rigged Hilbert Space Resonances and Time Asymmetric Quantum Mechanics
The Rigged Hilbert Space (RHS) theory of resonance scattering and decay is reviewed and contrasted with the standard Hilbert space (HS) theory of quantum mechanics. The main difference is in the choice of boundary conditions. Whereas the conventional theory allows for the in-states φ and the out-states (observables) ψ of the S-matrix elements (ψ, φ) = (ψout, Sφin) any elements of the HS H, {ψ} ...
متن کاملRigged Hilbert Space Approach to the Schrödinger Equation
It is shown that the natural framework for the solutions of any Schrödinger equation whose spectrum has a continuous part is the Rigged Hilbert Space rather than just the Hilbert space. The difficulties of using only the Hilbert space to handle unbounded Schrödinger Hamiltonians whose spectrum has a continuous part are disclosed. Those difficulties are overcome by using an appropriate Rigged Hi...

This second part of a two-part essay discusses recent developments in the Brussels-Austin Group after the mid 1980s. The fundamental concerns are the same as in their similarity transformation approach (see Part I), but the contemporary approach utilizes rigged Hilbert space (whereas the older approach used Hilbert space). While the emphasis on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics remains the s...
متن کاملComplex Energies and Beginnings of Time Suggest a Theory of Scattering and Decay
Many useful concepts for a quantum theory of scattering and decay (like Lippmann-Schwinger kets, purely outgoing boundary conditions, exponentially decaying Gamow vectors, causality) are not well defined in the mathematical frame set by the conventional (Hilbert space) axioms of quantum mechanics. Using the Lippmann-Schwinger equations as the takeoff point and aiming for a theory that unites re...
