Introducing the general condition for an operator in curved space to be unitary

Abstract

We investigate the general condition for an operator to be unitary. This condition is introduced according to the definition of the position operator in curved space. In a particular case, we discuss the concept of translation operator in curved space followed by its relation with an anti-Hermitian generator. Also we introduce a universal formula for adjoint of an arbitrary linear operator. Our procedure in this paper is totally different from others, as we explore a general approach based only on the algebra of the operators. Our approach is only discussed for the translation operators in one-dimensional space and not for general operators.
