Extensions of Effect Algebra Operations

Zdenka Riečanová, M. Zajac

We study the set of all positive linear operators densely defined in an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. We equip this set with various effect algebraic operations making it a generalized effect algebra. Further, sub-generalized effect algebras and interval effect algebras with respect of these operations are investigated.

Quantum physics on a general Hilbert space

Klaas Landsman

In this chapter we generalize the results of Chapter 2 to infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. So let H be a Hilbert space and let B ( H ) be the set of all bounded operators on H . Here a notable point is that linear operators on finite - dimensional Hilbert spaces are automatically bounded, whereas in general they are not. Thus we impose boundedness as an extra requirement, beyond linearity. This is very convenient, because as in the finite-dimensional case, B ( H ) is a C*-algebra, cf. §C.1. At the same time, assuming boundedness involves no loss of generality whatsoever, since we can alway replace closed unbounded operators by bounded ones through the bounded transform , as explained in §B.21. Nonetheless, even the relatively easy setting of bounded operators leads to some technical complications we have to deal with. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Chapter 4

Michael A. Parker

Linear algebra is the natural mathematical language of quantum mechanics. For this reason, the present chapter starts with a review of Hilbert spaces for vectors and operators. We introduce vector and Hilbert spaces along with inner products and metrics. The Dirac notation is developed for the Euclidean vector spaces as a starting point for the concepts of complete orthonormal sets of vectors, closure, dual vector spaces, and adjoint operators. The Dirac delta function in various forms and the principal part is introduced in Appendix 5 as an essential tool. The chapter turns to the main use of Dirac notation for function spaces; the concepts of norm, inner product, and closure are discussed. Fourier, Cosine, and Sine series are discussed as examples of expansions in complete orthonormal sets of functions. Although Hilbert spaces are interesting mathematical objects with important physical applications, the study of linear algebra remains incomplete without a study of linear operators (i.e., linear transformations). In fact, the set of linear transformations itself forms a vector space and therefore has a basis set. The basis set for the operator is linked with the basis sets for the spaces that it operates between. The linear operator can be discussed as an abstract operator or through an isomorphism as a matrix or as a generalized expansion in operator space. A Hermitian (a.k.a., self-adjoint) operator produces a basis set within a Hilbert space. The basis set comes from the eigenvector equation for the particular operator. The fact that a Hermitian operator produces a complete set (of orthornomal vectors) has special importance for quantum mechanics. Observables such as energy or momentum correspond to Hermitian operators. Complete sets make it possible to represent every possible result of a measurement of the observable by an object (vector) in the theory. The Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues which represent the results of the measurement.
