Self-Adjoint Operators on 𝐄 n
Real symmetric ( 𝐀 = 𝐀 T ) and Hermitian ( 𝐀 = 𝐀 H ) matrices are self-adjoint operators on 𝐄 n . The spectrum of such self-adjoint operators consists of their eigenvalues, λ i , i = 1 , 2 , , n , and all λ i . … For self-adjoint 𝐀 and 𝐁 , if [ 𝐀 , 𝐁 ] = 𝟎 , see (1.2.66), simultaneous eigenvectors of 𝐀 and 𝐁 always exist. …

These results are proven in Everitt et al. (2004), via construction of a self-adjoint Sturm–Liouville operator which generates the L n ( k ) ( x ) polynomials, self-adjointness implying both orthogonality and completeness. … Completeness follows from the self-adjointness of T k , Everitt (2008). … Completeness and orthogonality follow from the self-adjointness of the corresponding Schrödinger operator, Gómez-Ullate and Milson (2014), Marquette and Quesne (2013).

    This relates to a suggestion of Hilbert and Pólya that the zeros are eigenvalues of some operator, and the Riemann hypothesis is true if that operator is Hermitian. … Quantum field theory often encounters formally divergent sums that need to be evaluated by a process of regularization: for example, the energy of the electromagnetic vacuum in a confined space (Casimir–Polder effect). …
