Self-adjointness of bound state operators in integrable quantum field theory (1508.06402v1)

Abstract: We study self-adjoint extensions of operators which are the product of the multiplication operator by an analytic function and the analytic continuation in a strip. We compute the deficiency indices of the product operator for a wide class of analytic functions. For functions of a particular form, we point out the existence of a self-adjoint extension which is unitarily equivalent to the analytic-continuation operation. They appear in integrable quantum field theories as the one-particle component of the operators which realize the bound states of elementary particles and the existence of self-adjoint extension is a necessary step for the construction of Haag-Kastler net for such models.
