Rigged Liouville space formulation for quasi-Hermitian Liouville operators
Shousuke Ohmori, Junichi Takahashi
Source abstract
We discuss a super bra-ket formalism for quasi-Hermitian Liouvillian operators within the framework of rigged Hilbert spaces (RHS). An RHS in terms of the Liouville space, referred to as a rigged Liouville space (RLS), is reconstructed by exploiting the mathematical fact that the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators is unitarily equivalent to the tensor product of Hilbert spaces. The obtained RLS provides a rigorous foundation for the construction of the super bra-ket and for the spectral decompositions of both Hermitian and quasi-Hermitian Liouville operators, which are characterized by the generalized eigenvectors in the dual spaces. Furthermore, within this framework, the non-Hermitian Liouvillian operator and its adjoint can be constructed symmetrically, with their symmetric structure preserved. As an application of our RLS methodology, we examine the Liouville operators corresponding to Hermitian and non-Hermitian harmonic oscillators and elucidate the differences between their spectral decomposition forms.
