TY - JOUR A1 - Baumgaertel, Hellmut T1 - Spectral and scattering theory of Friedrichs Models on the positive half line with Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations N2 - The spectral theory of the Friedrichs model on the positive half line with Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations, equipped with distinguished analytic properties, is presented. In general, the (separable) multiplicity Hilbert space is assumed to be infinite-dimensional. The results include a spectral characterization of its resonances and the association of so-called Gamov vectors. Sufficient conditions are presented such that all resonances are simple poles of the scattering matrix. The connection between their residual terms and the associated Gamov vectors is pointed out.

T1 - Superselection in the presence of constraints N2 - Superselection and constraints occur together in many gauge theories, and here we begin a study of such systems. Our main focus will be to analyze compatibility questions between constraining and superselection, and we will develop an example modelled on QED in which our framework is realized. We proceed from a generalization of Doplicher- Roberts superselection theory to the case of the nontrivial center, and a set of Dirac quantum constraints and find conditions under which the superselection structures will survive constraining in some form. This involves an analysis of the restriction and factorization of superselection structures.

The connection between the (generalized) eigenspace of a resonance and corresponding Gamov vectors is pointed out. A condition is presented such that a relation between special transition probabilities and infinite sums of residual terms for all complex-conjugated pairs of resonances can be proved. In the case of the square well potential the condition is satisfied. Y1 - 2009 UR - http://jmp.aip.org/ U6 - https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3072675 SN - 0022-2488 ER -
