On the role of the normalization factors and of the pseudo-metric in crypto-Hermitian quantum models.
The present paper consists of two parts. In Section 1 we consider fractional-linear transformations (f.-l.t. for brevity) F in the space of all linear bounded operators acting from into , where are Banach spaces. We show that in the case of Hilbert spaces the image F(ℬ) of any (open or closed) ball ℬ ⊂ D(F) is convex, and if ℬ is closed, then F(ℬ) is compact in the weak operator topology (w.o.t.) (Theorem 1.2). These results extend the corresponding results on compactness obtained in [3],...
We study dichotomous behavior of solutions to a non-autonomous linear difference equation in a Hilbert space. The evolution operator of this equation is not continuously invertible and the corresponding unstable subspace is of infinite dimension in general. We formulate a condition ensuring the dichotomy in terms of a sequence of indefinite metrics in the Hilbert space. We also construct an example of a difference equation in which dichotomous behavior of solutions is not compatible with the signature...
