Do the domains of the two square roots of a positive (unbounded) operator coincide? [closed]
Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $D:\mathrm{Dom}(D) \to H$ a densely defined operator on $H$. We further assume that $D$ is closed and self-adjoint. If we further assume that $D$ is positive, then we ...

Kernel representation of a power of (pseudo-)differential operator
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a (pseudo-)differential operator that admits the following kernel representation:
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{T}f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} K(x,t)f(t)dt.
\end{equation}

Has Nambu's notion of an "eigenoperator" found a place in the mathematical literature?
The physicist Yoichiro Nambu introduced in a 1950 paper A Note on the Eigenvalue Problem in Crystal Statistics the notion of an "eigenoperator" (page 12, see Nambu and the Ising model for a ...

How "generalized eigenvalues" combine into producing the spectral measure?
Hi... I am wondering how 'eigenvalues' that don't lie in my Hilbert space combine into producing the spectral measure. I study probability and I am quite ignorant in the field of spectral analysis of ...

Geometric motivation behind the Fredholm module definition
If $A$ is an involutive algebra over the complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$, then a Fredholm module over $A$ consists of an involutive representation of $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$, together with a self-...

Spectrum equals eigenvalues for unbounded operator
Let $D$ be an unbounded densely defined operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$. If $D$ is diagonalisable with all eigenvalues having finite multiplicity and growing towards infinity, does it follow ...

When is a Pseudo-differential operator trace class or in Dixmier ideal?
Let's denote the set of all Pseudo-differential operators with symbol of “order” $d$ by $\Psi_d(M)$ and Sobolev space on $M$ by $H_s(M)$. It is known that
If $P\in\Psi_d(M)$ Then $P$ extends to a ...

Why is index unchanged after applying functional calculus?
Suppose $D$ is the Dirac operator on a closed spin manifold $M$, with spinors $S$. One can take the functional calculus of $D$ with respect to the continuous function $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}...

Self-adjoint extension of locally defined differential operators
The following is well known. Given a symmetric differential operator, like $\partial_x^2$, defined on smooth functions of compact support on $\mathbb{R}$, $C_0^\infty(\mathbb{R})$, one can count the ...

Algorithm to find exponential map of differential operators acting on function
I am trying to write a computer program which computes the action of the exponential of a differential operator on a function, for any given differential operator.
Examples:
$\exp(\varepsilon \...
