Rigged Hilbert spaces and the spectral theory in quantum mechanics
I'm trying to learn some quantum mechanics by myself, and because of my mathematics background, I'm trying to understand it in a rigorous way. Since then, I've been intrigued by the use of rigged ...

What is known about the "unitary group" of a rigged Hilbert space?
Suppose that $(E,H)$ is a rigged (infinite dimensional, separable) Hilbert space, i.e. $H$ is a Hilbert space, and $E$ is a Fréchet space, equipped with a continuous linear injection $E \rightarrow H$ ...

Canonical embedding of Hilbert space in $L^2$ space
Let $H$ be a Hilbert space. I am interested in isometries $f\colon H\to L^2(X,\mu)$ where $\mu$ is a probability measure on some measure space $X=(X,\mathcal F)$ where $\mathcal F$ is a $\sigma$-...

Error in Maurins proof for the nuclear spectral theorem?
I am currently studying the nuclear spectral theorem as presented in K. Maurins Monograph [2], second chapter or alternatively his paper [1] which contains basically the same proof.
Let $\Phi\subset H\...

Quick question about conjugate equivalence bimodules and inner products
Let $A$ and $B$ be $W^{*}$-algebras, let $X$ be an $A-B$-equivalence bimodule (according to the definition given in "Morita equivalence for $C^*$-algebras and $W^*$-algebras" by Rieffel, link:http://...

The dual space of the Dirac measures on an Abelian group
Let $G$ be a Hausdorff locally-compact Abelian group and $L^2(G)$ the Hilbert space of two-integrable complex functions on the group.
Question. What would be natural vector space $\mathcal{R}$ of ...

Is every distribution a linear combination of Dirac deltas?
My question is whether Dirac-type distributions over an Abelian group define a basis of the Schwartz-Bruhat space $\mathcal{S}(G)^\times$ of tempered distributions on $G$, so that any distribution $f\...

Can we define spectral triples using the language of rigged Hilbert spaces?
The traditional mathematical approach to quantum mechanics,
as developed by von Neumann, is based on Hilbert spaces and unbounded self-adjoint operators.
Another approach, which more closely resembles ...

Good references for Rigged Hilbert spaces?
Every now and then I attempt to understand better quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, but for a variety of possible reasons, I find it very difficult to read any kind of physicist account, ...
