Abstract: We initiate a mathematically rigorous study of Klein-Gordon position operators in single-particle relativistic quantum mechanics. Although not self-adjoint, these operators have real spectrum and enjoy a limited form of spectral decomposition. The associated C*-algebras are identifiable as crossed products. We also introduce a variety of non self-adjoint operator algebras associated with the Klein-Gordon position representation; these algebras are commutative and continuously (but not homeomorphically) embeddable in corresponding function algebras. Several open problems are indicated.
Noncommutative function spaces (46L52) Operator algebras with symbol structure (47L15) Commutative Banach algebras and commutative topological algebras (46J99) Abstract operator algebras on Hilbert spaces (47L30) Operator algebra methods applied to problems in quantum theory (81R15) Applications of operator algebras to the sciences (47L90)
