Hilbert space theory for reflectionless relativistic potentials (Q5935734): Difference between revisions

In [\textit{S. N. M. Ruijsenaars}, J. Math. Phys. 40, 1595-1626 (1999; Zbl 0985.34079)] the author considered eigenfunctions of the two-particle Hamiltonian with hyperbolic interactions. This paper is a continuation of the cited paper. In the present work the author studies Hilbert space aspects of explicit eigenfunctions for analytic difference operators that arise in the context of relativistic two-particle Calogero-Moser system. Attention is restricted to integer coupling constants \(g/h\) for which no reflection occurs. Three types of analytic difference operators are considered. For these three cases it is proved that the eigenfunction transforms are isometric, provided a certain dimensionless parameter \(a\) varies over a bounded interval \((0,a_{\max})\) whereas isometry is shown to be violated for generic \(a\) larger than \(a_{\max}\). The anomaly is encoded in an explicit finite-rank operator, whose rank increases to \(\infty\) as \(a\) goes to \(\infty\).
