Hilbert space operators in quantum physics (Q999445)

This is an excellent textbook for graduate students and young researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics. The book is divided into two parts. The first, mathematical part describes the theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces. It is a course from the basics in functional analysis to bounded and unbounded operators, including spectral theory and operator algebras. The exposition is comprehensive, but self-contained. The second part is devoted to the mathematical theory of quantum mechanics. It treats the following topics: axiomatics, states, observables, position and momentum; time evolution and Feynman integrals, symmetries, second quantization; Schrödinger operators, scattering theory, quantum waveguides, quantum graphs. [The first edition appeared 1994 and was reviewed in Zbl 0873.46038.]
