Spectral Theory and Quantum Mechanics Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theories, Symmetries and Introduction to the Algebraic Formulation

This book discusses the mathematical foundations of quantum theories. It offers an introductory text on linear functional analysis with a focus on Hilbert spaces, highlighting the spectral theory features that are relevant in physics. After exploring physical phenomenology, it then turns its attenti...
