unbounded self-adjoint operator

216 Views Asked by At

Given an operator $T:D_1(T)\subset L^2 \rightarrow L^2$ and the same operator $T:D_2(T) \subset L^2 \rightarrow L^2$, such that the operator is both times self-adjoint and closed, with $D_1(T) \subset D_2(T)$ both being dense in $L^2$. Does this mean that for any $A \subset L^2$, the operator $T:A \rightarrow L^2$ is self-adjoint and closed, too?-if we have that $D_1(T) \subset A \subset D_2(T)$.

Let's denote the operator defined on $D_i(T)$ by $T_i$. Then since $T_1 \subset T_2$ we have $T_2^\ast \subset T_1^\ast$.

Now use that $T_i$ is self-adjoint to conclude that there is not much choice for $A$.
