For compact real , let

Then is symmetric and preserves , and

It extends continuously from , with its graph norm, to , and is essentially self-adjoint on .

For every real , the real polynomial

is also essentially self-adjoint on . This is a statement about the displayed polynomial, not an all-orders interacting field.

Proof. The oscillator estimates and scalar estimates are

They act on commuting factors. Using

proves (eq:mixedbound). Schwartz and finite oscillator shifts prove invariance. Reality gives symmetry.

The domain is a core for : truncate particle number and approximate each remaining scalar wavefunction in Schwartz space. Completion gives the graph extension.

Let be either operator in the theorem. There is such that , and raises total particle number by at most two. If has sectors at most , induction gives

Thus every vector of is analytic for . Nelson's analytic-vector criterion Nelson proves essential self-adjointness.
