Hamiltonians Defined as Quadratic Forms
... Remarks. 1. There exist VeR with D(V)nD(H0) = {0}. Thus, while the Hamiltonian operator we have defined is an extension of the operator sum, it may be defined on a much larger domain! 2. D(H) can be described explicitly. Let φ e Q(H^}. It is not hard to prove — Δφ and Vφ both make sense as distribut ...

Quantum random walks and their boundaries
... Even though the measure µf is not unique, there exists a canonical one. Let µ1 be the canonical measure representing the unit function on X. Then the Poisson boundary is by definition the measure space (∂M X, µ1 ). It turns out, that any bounded harmonic function f on X extends to a continuous funct ...
