In the theory of point interactions, one is given a formal expression for a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian. The interaction terms of the Hamiltonian are singular: they can not be rigorously defined as a perturbation (in the operator or form sense) of an unperturbed free operator. A similar situation occurs in Quantum Field Theory, where it is known as the ultraviolet problem. Recently, it was shown that some of the tools used in the context of point interactions can be adapted to solve the…

Extended State Space for describing renormalized Fock spaces in QFT
In quantum field theory (QFT) models, it often seems natural to use, instead of wave functions from Fock space, wave functions that are not square-integrable and have pre-factors involving divergent
Boundary Conditions that Remove Certain Ultraviolet Divergences
A novel way of removing UV divergences is reviewed: by imposing a type of boundary condition on the wave function that allows for a direct definition of the Hamiltonian without renormalization or limiting procedures.
Hamiltonians for polaron models with subcritical ultraviolet singularities
We treat the ultraviolet problem for polaron-type models in nonrelativistic quantum field theory. Assuming that the dispersion relations of particles and the field have the same growth at infinity,
The Resolvent of the Nelson Hamiltonian Improves Positivity
We give a new proof that the resolvent of the renormalised Nelson Hamiltonian at fixed total momentum P improves positivity in the (momentum) Fock-representation, for every P . The argument is based
An abstract framework for interior-boundary conditions

In a configuration space whose boundary can be identified with a subset of its interior, a boundary condition can relate the behaviour of a function on the boundary and in the interior. Additionally,
Let $H:D(H)\subseteq{\mathscr F}\to{\mathscr F}$ be self-adjoint and let $A:D(H)\to{\mathscr F}$ (playing the role of the annihilator operator) be $H$-bounded. Assuming some additional hypotheses on
