Self-Adjoint Extensions in Quantum Mechanics: General Theory and Applications to Schrödinger and Dirac Equations with Singular Potentials

by B.L. Voronov, D.M. Gitman, I.V. Tyutin

This exposition is devoted to a consistent treatment of quantization problems, based on appealing to some nontrivial items of functional analysis concerning the theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces. It begins by considering quantization problems in general, emphasizing the non-triviality of consistent operator construction by presenting paradoxes to the naive treatment. It then builds the necessary mathematical background following it by...
