-cross products and a generalized quantum mechanical -body problem.
Circular operators related to the operator of multiplication by a homomorphism of a locally compact abelian group and its restrictions are completely characterized. As particular cases descriptions of circular operators related to various quantum observables are given.
Let and be mutually commuting unital C* subalgebras of (). It is shown that and are C* independent if and only if for all natural numbers n, m, for all n-tuples A = (A₁, ..., Aₙ) of doubly commuting nonzero operators of and m-tuples B = (B₁, ..., Bₘ) of doubly commuting nonzero operators of , , where Sp denotes the joint Taylor spectrum.
We consider a Schrödinger operator with a magnetic field (and no electric field) on a domain in the Euclidean space with a compact boundary. We give sufficient conditions on the behaviour of the magnetic field near the boundary which guarantees essential self-adjointness of this operator. From the physical point of view, it means that the quantum particle is confined in the domain by the magnetic field. We construct examples in the case where the boundary is smooth as well as for polytopes; These...
