The Zeno product formula conjecture for admissible functions

About 22 years old · traced to

Let HH be the nonnegative self-adjoint operator and PP the orthogonal projection from the paper, with h=Ran⁡P{\mathfrak h}=\operatorname{Ran}P, and let KK be the operator governing the limiting Zeno dynamics. For an admissible function ϕ\phi and f∈hf\in{\mathfrak h}, consider the iterated products (ϕ(tH/n))nf\left(\phi(tH/n)\right)^nf.

Zeno product formula conjecture. If assumption in Theorem II.6a is dropped, then for every f∈hf\in{\mathfrak h}, T>0T>0, and arbitrary admissible function ϕ\phi,

lim⁡n→∞∫0T∥(ϕ(tH/n))nf−e−itKf∥2 dt=0.\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_0^T\left\|\left(\phi(tH/n)\right)^nf-e^{-itK}f\right\|^2\,dt=0.

The conjecture proposes that at least this integrated strong convergence survives without assumption; the existing proofs for ϕ(x)=e−ix\phi(x)=e^{-ix} use analytic properties of the exponential, whereas general admissible functions require a different proof.
