Integral over operators equal -When are operators equal?

This is a physics motivated question from quantum mechanics. When I have two operators $\hat{A}$ and $\hat{B}$ acting on the Hilbertspace $\mathbb{C}-L^2(\mathbb{R})$ with $$\int\psi^*(x)\hat{A}\psi(x)...

Deficiency index of symmetric operator is locally constant

Let $A: D_A \rightarrow H$ be a symmetric linear operator defined on $D_A \subseteq H$. Define the deficiency index of $A$ at $z \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \mathbb{R}$ to be $\dim( \ker (A^* - \bar{z}))$...
