Self-adjointness conjecture for operators with positive real part and self-adjoint powers
Let be a Hilbert space and let , where denotes the bounded operators on . Suppose that the real part of is positive and that and are self-adjoint.
Self-adjointness conjecture. is self-adjoint.
This conjecture asks for a generalization of the preceding theorem, which establishes self-adjointness under positivity of the real part together with self-adjointness of and . The status of the proposed -power generalization is not specified in the source.
