چکیده

For a class of singular potentials, including the Coulomb potential and V (x) = g/x with the coefficient g in a certain range, the corresponding Schrödinger operator is not automatically self-adjoint on its natural domain. Such operators admit more than one self-adjoint domain, and the spectrum and all physical consequences depend seriously on the selfadjoint version chosen. The talk discusses how the self-adjoint domains can be identified in terms of a boundary condition for the asymptotic behaviour of the wave functions around the singularity, and what physical differences emerge for different self-adjoint versions of the Hamiltonian.

For a class of singular potentials, including the Coulomb potential (in three and less dimensions) and V (x) = g/x with the coefficient g in a certain range (x being a space coordinate in one or more dimensions), the corresponding Schrödinger operator is not automatically self-adjoint on its natural domain. Such operators admit more than one self-adjoint domain, and the spectrum and all physica...

We study the nonrelativistic quantum Coulomb hamiltonian (i.e., inverse of distance potential) in Rn, n = 1, 2, 3. We characterize their self-adjoint extensions and, in the unidimensional case, present a discussion of controversies in the literature, particularly the question of the permeability of the origin. Potentials given by fundamental solutions of Laplace equation are also briefly consid...

The symmetry properties of the family of δ ′-interactions with a resonant non-zero transparency resulting in non-separated states are discussed. It is shown that the connection matrix for these physically motivated interactions and the corresponding family of self-adjoint extensions can be constructed in a self-consistent way if the product δ ′ (x)ψ(x), where ψ(x) is a discontinuous wavefunctio...
