Helffer–Sjöstrand formula
Appearance
In mathematics, more specifically, in functional analysis, the Helffer–Sjöstrand formula is a formula for computing a function of a self-adjoint operator.
Background
[edit]If , then we can find a function such that , and for each , there exists a such that
Such a function is called an almost analytic extension of .[1]
The Formula
[edit]If and is a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space, then
where is an almost analytic extension of , and .
