Apologies for not getting to this sooner, but I have been thinking about your PR. I think everything you've done here is reasonable in terms of the existing API and how the literature is written but I wonder if it makes sense for us to change up how /-- The position operators defined on the Schwartz submodule. -/
def positionOperatorSchwartz : schwartzSubmodule d →ₗ[ℂ] schwartzSubmodule d :=
(schwartzEquiv (d := d)) ∘ₗ 𝐱[i].toLinearMap ∘ₗ (schwartzEquiv (d := d)).symmLike I said, why you'd do this makes sense with how things are designed, but needing to use Unfortunately that would delay this PR but I think it might save some headaches in the long run. Does this reasoning make sense, and do you think this would be a productive change? |

@morrison-daniel Could you give your suggested definition for UnboundedOperator here? |
Continues on from #957 and makes progress on #851.
Introduces
schwartzEquiv, theLinearEquivbetween Schwartz functions and their image in the Hilbert space, along with some basic properties. This bijection is then used to define three symmetric unbounded operators with Schwartz submodule for domain, using the previously-defined continuous linear maps on Schwartz functions. These are the position and momentum unbounded operators, defined component-wise, and the (regularized) radius operator to any real power.There remains one sorry which will have to be revisited. Showing that the momentum operator on Schwartz functions is symmetric requires two results for
