In order to attach a definite mass with the wave function these authors have introduced a mass term in the time dependent Schrödinger equations. This term puts a phase factor in the evolution operator but gives no contribution to S-matrix calculations. In the constraint formalism it may occur that the constraint operators do not commute strongly. In that case L2 is replaced by a subspace in which their commutators vanish. Within this reduced space the situation is algebraically similar to the one we consider.Google Scholar

(1975) Chap I 4,5,6 p. 32 et seq. For the sake of simplicity and convenience we introduce hermiticity in the rigged Hilbert space with the implicit assumption that the domains of the operators include & A more accurate and general treatment would involve the concept of self-adointness in the rigged Hilbert space in the sense of the above reference. The existence of realistic interacting hamiltonians which map & into itself is by no means obvious. In fact, the way we rig L2 (R4N)might be too restrictive for practical purposes. For instance an alternative choice D ⊂ L2 ⊂ D * (where D is the space of C∞ functions with compact support) would perhaps give us more freedom. But & behaves more simply than D under Fourier transformation. Anyway, for the simplicity of the discussion we choose & the nuclear subspace in the present picture. This choice could be modified if necessary.Google Scholar
