Pseudo-Bosons and Their Coherent States

This book is based on the analysis of canonical commutation relations (CCRs) and their possible deformations. In light of the recent interest on PT—quantum mechanics, the author presents a special deformed version of the CCRs, and discusses the consequences of this deformation both from a mathematical side, and for its possible applications to physics. These include the analysis of several non self—adjoint Hamiltonians, a novel view to the position and momentum operators, and a general appr...
