From Wightman to HK axioms for "non-neutral (charged?)" fields
Wightman axioms deal with operator-valued distributions (Wightman fields) whose values are unbounded operators in general.
On the other hand, the Haag-Kastler axioms deal with net of observables, ...

Functional calculus on the Schwartz space instead of $L^2$?
As far as I know, functional calculus is typically carried out on Hilbert spaces with (possibly unbounded) self-adjoint operators.
However, I wonder if there is a way to do it on the space of test ...

What would be the explicit formula for the remainder in Taylor's theorem for functional calculus? [closed]
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function and $A,B$ be $n \times n$ self-adjoint matrices that commute.
Then, I see that $f(A+tB)$ is a well-defined matrix-valued function for real ...

Small perturbation to a commuting family of hermitian matrices will hurt the nice properties?
Let $A_1, \dotsc A_N$ be a collection of finite Hermitian matrices that commute with one another and all have the matrix $2$-norm as $1$. Here $N$ is large but fixed.
Then, they are simultaneously ...

"Trade-off" between bound on the function and on the spectrum for functional calculus in spectral theory
Let $A$ be a self-adjoint (unbounded) operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$.
From the following form of spectral theorem, we may define a functional calculus by $f(A)=Q^{-1} M_{f\circ \alpha} Q$. (...

How to compute integral of a gaussian over a noncentered ball?
Let $\mathcal{B}(x,r)$ the ball of center $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and radius $r>0$ (so $\mathcal{B}(x,r) = \{y \in \mathbb{R}^n : \|y-x\| \leq r\}$, where all norms are $\ell^2$-norms).
I would like ...
