Description
Physical reasoning give expressions for the Hamiltonian of a system. These Hamiltonians are differential operators that are mostly symmetric in a densely defined domain.
However, to study the dynamics of the unitary group corresponding to a Hamiltonian, it is
required that the Hamiltonian be self-adjoint or essentially self-adjoint. I will present our study
on how the static non-linear electromagnetic-vacuum space-time of a point nucleus affects the
self-adjointness of the general- relativistic Dirac Hamiltonian for a test electron.
