We compute the deficiency spaces of operators of the form $H_A{hat{otimes}} I + I{hat{otimes}} H_B$, for symmetric $H_A$ and self-adjoint $H_B$. This enables us to construct self-adjoint extensions (if they exist) by means of von Neumanns theory. The structure of the deficiency spaces for this case was asserted already by Ibort, Marmo and Perez-Pardo, but only proven under the restriction of $H_B$ having discrete, non-degenerate spectrum.

We apply the method of self-adjoint extensions of Hermitian operators to the low-energy, continuum Hamiltonians of Weyl semimetals in bounded geometries and derive the spectrum of the surface states on the boundary. This allows for the full characterization of boundary conditions and the surface spectra on surfaces both normal to the Weyl node separation as well as parallel to it. We show that the boundary conditions for quadratic bulk dispersions are, in general, specified by a $mathbb{U}(2)$ matrix relating the wavefunction and its derivatives normal to the surface. We give a general procedure to obtain the surface spectra from these boundary conditions and derive them in specific cases of bulk dispersion. We consider the role of global symmetries in the boundary conditions and their effect on the surface spectrum. We point out several interesting features of the surface spectra for different choices of boundary conditions, such as a Mexican-hat shaped dispersion on the surface normal to Weyl node separation. We find that the existence of bound states, Fermi arcs, and the shape of their dispersion, depend on the choice of boundary conditions. This illustrates the importance of the physics at and near the boundaries in the general statement of bulk-boundary correspondence.
We consider the self-adjoint extensions (SAE) of the symmetric supercharges and Hamiltonian for a model of SUSY Quantum Mechanics in $mathbb{R}^+$ with a singular superpotential. We show that only for two particular SAE, whose domains are scale invariant, the algebra of N=2 SUSY is realized, one with manifest SUSY and the other with spontaneously broken SUSY. Otherwise, only the N=1 SUSY algebra is obtained, with spontaneously broken SUSY and non degenerate energy spectrum.
Let $J$ and $R$ be anti-commuting fundamental symmetries in a Hilbert space $mathfrak{H}$. The operators $J$ and $R$ can be interpreted as basis (generating) elements of the complex Clifford algebra ${mathcal C}l_2(J,R):={span}{I, J, R, iJR}$. An arbitrary non-trivial fundamental symmetry from ${mathcal C}l_2(J,R)$ is determined by the formula $J_{vec{alpha}}=alpha_{1}J+alpha_{2}R+alpha_{3}iJR$, where ${vec{alpha}}inmathbb{S}^2$. Let $S$ be a symmetric operator that commutes with ${mathcal C}l_2(J,R)$. The purpose of this paper is to study the sets $Sigma_{{J_{vec{alpha}}}}$ ($forall{vec{alpha}}inmathbb{S}^2$) of self-adjoint extensions of $S$ in Krein spaces generated by fundamental symmetries ${{J_{vec{alpha}}}}$ (${{J_{vec{alpha}}}}$-self-adjoint extensions). We show that the sets $Sigma_{{J_{vec{alpha}}}}$ and $Sigma_{{J_{vec{beta}}}}$ are unitarily equivalent for different ${vec{alpha}}, {vec{beta}}inmathbb{S}^2$ and describe in detail the structure of operators $AinSigma_{{J_{vec{alpha}}}}$ with empty resolvent set.
We investigate self-adjoint extensions of the minimal Kirchhoff Laplacian on an infinite metric graph. More specifically, the main focus is on the relationship between graph ends and the space of self-adjoint extensions of the corresponding minimal Kirchhoff Laplacian $mathbf{H}_0$. First, we introduce the notion of finite and infinite volume for (topological) ends of a metric graph and then establish a lower bound on the deficiency indices of $mathbf{H}_0$ in terms of the number of finite volume graph ends. This estimate is sharp and we also find a necessary and sufficient condition for the equality between the number of finite volume graph ends and the deficiency indices of $mathbf{H}_0$ to hold. Moreover, it turns out that finite volume graph ends play a crucial role in the study of Markovian extensions of $mathbf{H}_0$. In particular, we show that the minimal Kirchhoff Laplacian admits a unique Markovian extension exactly when every topological end of the underlying metric graph has infinite volume. In the case of finitely many finite volume ends (for instance, the latter includes Cayley graphs of a large class of finitely generated infinite groups) we are even able to provide a complete description of all Markovian extensions of $mathbf{H}_0$.
In this work, we review two methods used to approach singular Hamiltonians in (2+1) dimensions. Both methods are based on the self-adjoint extension approach. It is very common to find singular Hamiltonians in quantum mechanics, especially in quantum systems in the presence of topological defects, which are usually modelled by point interactions. In general, it is possible to apply some kind of regularization procedure, as the vanishing of the wave function at the location of the singularity, ensuring that the wave function is square-integrable and then can be associated with a physical state. However, a study based on the self-adjoint extension approach can lead to more general boundary conditions that still gives acceptable physical states. We exemplify the methods by exploring the bound and scattering scenarios of a spin 1/2 charged particle with an anomalous magnetic moment in the Aharonov-Bohm potential in the conical space.
