Effective action of unbounded operators on subspaces outside their domains of definition
Consider a densely defined, self-adjoint operator
$$
H: \mathcal{D} \rightarrow \mathscr{H}.
$$
Assume for simplicity that $H$ is nonnegative.
We want to effectively restrict this operator $H$ to a ...

Additivity of squared Schatten $p$-norm with respect to spatial partition
Consider a Hilbert-Schmidt operator $A$ on $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with integral kernel $A(x,y)$. Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d$ and $1_{\Omega}(x)$ denote its characteristic function as well as the ...

Existence of solutions to time-dependent Schrödinger equations
I would like to know what is known about evolution equations of the form
$$iy'(t)=H_0y(x,t)+u(t)V(x)y(x,t)$$
and $y(0)=y_0 \in D(H_0)$
where
$V$ is not a bounded operator, but an unbounded one, $u \...

Trace type convergence of the Laplacian on the box to the Laplacian on $\mathbb R^d$
Let $-\Delta \colon H^2(\mathbb R^d) \to \mathbb R^d$ be the (negative) Laplacian on the full space and $-\Delta_L$ the Laplacian acting on $L^2([-L,L]^d)$ with some boundary conditions making it self-...

One-parameter group of unitary operators and Core
Question : For what condition on $V$ (we can take it smooth, bounded, whatever necessary), the one-parameter unitary group $U(t)$ associated to the seladjoint operator $A=-\Delta+V$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ ...

Perturbation of Laplacian via Kato-Rellich theorem
Let's consider a potential $V(x)\in L^3(\mathbb{R}^3)$. I want to know if the following Hamiltonian
$$-\Delta+V(x)$$
is self-adjoint on $H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$.
My idea is to use Kato-Rellich theorem; ...

Equality between operators, on dense subspace, from a quadratic form point of view
Let $L \ge 1$ and consider a finite box $\Omega = [0,L]^{d} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$. The set of functions:
$$\psi_{p}(x) = \frac{1}{L^{d/2}}e^{i\langle p,x\rangle} \quad p\in \frac{2\pi}{L}\mathbb{Z}^{...

Question about a step in the proof of the min-max principle
I honestly do not think this is a hard question, maybe it is even obvious but I tried MSE and had no success so far, so I am reproducing the question Question about the proof of the min-max principle ...

Spectrum of a Hamiltonian on the real line
Consider the following linear (Hamiltonian) operator on functions on the real line $\mathbb{R}$
$$H\psi(x)=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}\psi(x)+V(x)\psi(x).$$
Assume that $V$ is a smooth function and $V(x)\to +\...
