Extract

N. S. Poulsen, motivated in part by questions from relativistic quantum scattering theory, studied symmetric operators S in Hilbert space commuting with a unitary representation U of a Lie group G. (The group of interest in the physical setting is the Poincaré group.) He proved ([17], corollary 2·2) that if S is defined on the space of C-vectors for U (i.e. D(S) ⊇ ℋ(U)), then S is essentially self-adjoint.
