Wormhole boundary conditions for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation can be derived from the path integral formulation. It is proposed that the wormhole wave function must be square integrable in the maximal analytic extension of minisuperspace. Quantum wormholes can be invested with a Hilbert-space structure, the inner product being naturally induced by the minisuperspace metric, in which the Wheeler-...

A non-Hermitian complex symmetric 2 × 2-matrix toy model is used to study projective Hilbert space structures in the vicinity of exceptional points (EPs). The bi-orthogonal eigenvectors of a diagonalizable matrix are Puiseuxexpanded in terms of the root vectors at the EP. It is shown that the apparent contradiction between the two incompatible normalization conditions with finite and singular b...

We show that the algebra of the group SL(2; C) naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the Lorentz group and its underlying hyperbolic geometry. The superiority of the use of the gyrogroup formalism over the use of theSL(2; C) formalism for dealing with the Lorentz group in some cases is indicated by (i) the validity of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces...

We prove that there exist S-spaces containing an arbitrary number of non-isomorphic affine planes of any admissible order. The proof is obtained by constructing some new S-spaces in two different ways. In one case we obtain S-spaces of finite order containing an infinite number of points, while in the other case we obtain S-spaces of infinite order.

This paper gives an abstract sufficient condition on Riesz basis with parentheses property for the generators of C0-groups in Hilbert spaces whose eigenvalues are comprised of some finite unification of separable sets after taking the algebraic multiplicities into account. The condition is then applied to the closed-loop system of a serially connected string system under joint damping feedbacks...

We present the most general definition of the linking of sets in a Hilbert space and, drawing on the theory given in [ST, T, Sc3], give a necessary and sufficient geometric condition for linking when one set is compact.

A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...

Hilbert’s two-dimensional space-filling curve is appreciated for its good locality-preserving properties and easy implementation for many applications. However, Hilbert did not describe how to generalize his construction to higher dimensions. In fact, the number of ways in which this may be done ranges from zero to infinite, depending on what properties of the Hilbert curve one considers
