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 ...

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\...

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, ...

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 ...

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 $\sigma$-...
