Quantum Mechanics on Non-Hausdorff One-Manifolds with Finite Graph Resolutions: Analytic Completion, Branching, and Invariant-Sector Scattering
arXiv:2607.26080
Abstract
We develop a systematic framework for quantum mechanics on a finite graph-resolved class of second-countable, T1, non-Hausdorff one-manifolds. The central problem is that local differential expressions do not by themselves determine the quantum theory: non-Hausdorff incidence, bundle transport, smooth extension, and analytic completion can impose additional global constraints on the operator domain. We formulate these constraints using transported jets, Whitney realisability, Sobolev traces, and formal return holonomy, obtaining exact closure results for finite smooth graph resolutions. At first Sobolev order, scalar dynamics reduce to a weighted quantum graph whose edge weights arise from a marked resolving presentation, leading naturally to weighted Kirchhoff Hamiltonians. Multiple-origin lines and circles, branching junctions, finite trees, and split-and-rejoin geometries then yield explicit deficiency indices, reflection and transmission laws, interference conditions, compact dark states, and embedded cavity modes. For finite-rank Hermitian bundles, unitary gluing selects a transmitting fixed subspace, so scattering becomes projection onto the invariant sector of the subgroup generated by the gluing matrices. Compact-group representations therefore turn non-Hausdorff incidence into an invariant-sector selection mechanism; connected compact semisimple groups require at most two relative gluing matrices for full invariant completion, with explicit SU(3) examples. The resulting theory separates topological non-Hausdorff data from the analytic and representation-theoretic structures that remain detectable by quantum dynamics.
