Eigenvector proof from Dirac's QM

mercredi 28 août 2013

Hi everyone,



I'm currently working my way through Dirac's Quantum Mechanics, and I found this proof really irritating.



We're trying to demonstrate that any eigenket can be expressed as a sum of eigenkets of a real linear function [itex]\xi[/itex] which satisfies the equation [itex]\varphi[/itex]([itex]\xi[/itex]) = a[itex]_{1}[/itex][itex]\xi[/itex][itex]^{n}[/itex]+a[itex]_{2}[/itex][itex]\xi[/itex][itex]^{n-1}[/itex]...+a[itex]_{n}[/itex]



I attach Dirac's proof. I'm confused by how 22 vanishing for [itex]\chi (\xi)[/itex] in general follows from the substitution.



Thanks.
