Abstract:
Spectra of the position and momentum operators of the Biedenharn–Macfarlane q-oscillator (with the main relation aa+−qa+a=1) are studied when q>1. These operators are symmetric but not self-adjoint. They have a one-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions. These extensions are derived explicitly. Their spectra and eigenfunctions are given. Spectra of different extensions do not intersect. The results show that the creation and annihilation operators a+ and a of the q-oscillator for q>1 cannot determine a physical system without further more precise definition. In order to determine a physical system we have to choose appropriate self-adjoint extensions of the position and momentum operators.
