Abstract

Let \(\ast_P\) be a product on \(l_{{fin}}\) (a space of all finite sequences) associated with a fixed family \((P_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}\) of real polynomials on \(\mathbb{R}\). In this article, using methods from the theory of generalized eigenvector expansion, we investigate moment-type properties of \(\ast_P\)-positive functionals on \(l_{fin}\).

If \((P_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}\) is a family of the Newton polynomials \(P_n(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n-1}(x-i)\) then the corresponding product \(\star=\ast_P\) is an analog of the so-called Kondratiev—Kuna convolution on a “Fock space”. We get an explicit expression for the product \(\star\) and establish the connection between \(\star\)-positive functionals on \(l_{fin}\) and a one-dimensional analog of the Bogoliubov generating functionals (the classical Bogoliubov functionals define correlation functions for statistical mechanics systems).
