Antilinear operators

In this appendix, we review some important properties of antilinear operators that are used in the text and Appendix C. Let us then consider an operator O that... 

This should apply both to linear and antilinear operators, hereafter denoted, respectively, by t and A. For a linear operator, the action on a general state ci /i) + C2 v /2) is expressed by... 

This implies that the Hermitian conjugate of an antilinear operator is also antilinear. It should also be pointed out that the product of two antilinear... 

Thus Ql —0 does satisfy the correct Heisenberg equation of motion. It should be recalled, incidentally, that the correct definition of the adjoint A of an antilinear operator A is... 

From the definitions (a)-(b) it follows that a product of an even number of antilinear operators is a linear operator, whereas the product of an odd number of antilinear operators is an antilinear operator. Similarly a product of any number of linear operators and an even (odd) number of antilinear operators is a linear (antilinear) operator. 

If A induces a one-to-one mapping of the Hilbert space on itself then the inverse operator A 1 exists. It is an antilinear operator with the property that... 

If we assume that the adjoint A of an antilinear operator is defined as in the case of a linear operator by the equation... 

That is, unitary operators are linear and anti-unitary operators are antilinear. 

The Time Reversal Operator.—In this section we show that spatial operators are linear whereas the time reversal operator is antilinear.5 This may be seen by examining the eigenfunctions of the time dependent Schrodinger equation... 

The time reversal operator may now be determined.6 The simplest anti-unitary operation is the transition to the complex conjugate. This operator K is clearly antilinear and anti-unitary. 

Furthermore, any antilinear operator can be written as the product of a unitary operator and the operator K. Specifically, we can write the time reversal operator as 6 = UK, and our problem is now that of... 

Multiplication of Co-Representation Matrices.—We have referred above to the representations of nonunitary groups as co-representations. This distinction is made because the co-representation matrices for the group operators do not multiply in the same way as do the operators themselves.5 As will be seen below, this is a direct result of the fact that some of the operators in the group are antilinear. Consider that is the a 6 basis function of the i411 irreducible co-representation of G. The co-representation matrices D (u) and D (a) may be defined such that...

A Hopf algebra emerges by a proper redefinition of the antilinear characteristics of TFD. Consider g = giti = 1,2,3,.. be an associative algebra defined on the field of the complex numbers and let g be equipped with a Lie algebra structure specified by giOgj = C gk, where 0 is the Lie product and Cfj are the structure constants (we are assuming the rule of sum over repeated indeces). Now we take g first realized by C = Ai,i = 1,2,3,.. such that the commutator [Ai,Aj is the Lie product of elements Ai,Aj G C. Consider tp and (p two representations of C, such that ip (A) (linear operators defined on a representation vector space As a consequence,... 

Hence, unitary operators are linear operators, but an antiunitary operator is antilinear.
