Abstract

Since the late 1960's mathematicians working mainly in the area of quantum field theory have used commutator estimates to prove self-adjointness of operators on Hilbert space. Recently, these results were extended and codified into a theory in the papers [BaR], [Rob 1], and [Rob 2]. The following thesis is based largely upon the above reports.
