Representation of Semigroups in Rigged Hilbert Spaces: Subsemigroups of the Weyl-Heisenberg Group

Abstract

This paper studies how differentiable representations of certain subsemigroups of the Weyl-Heisenberg group may be obtained in suitably constructed rigged Hilbert spaces. These semigroup representations are induced from a continuous unitary representation of the Weyl-Heisenberg group in a Hilbert space. Aspects of the rigged Hilbert space formulation of time asymmetric quantum mechanics are also investigated within the context of the results developed here.
