Extract

When considering *-algebras of unbounded operators, the usual approach is perhaps the one to be expected. One starts with a Hilbert space , and then defines a common dense domain X associated with some *-algebra of unbounded operators on . The algebra is then used to define a locally convex topology (the graph topology) on X, with respect to which the inner product on X is continuous, and this in turn defines a variety of topologies on , which are then studied.
