Abstract
The main goal of this paper is the realization that some formal basic results and definitions of the mathematical formalism of the quantum mechanics have a solid mathematical basis. In particular, we justify the so-called “delta” normalization in the continuous case introduced by Dirac (P.A.M. Dirac, The principles of Quantum Mechanics, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1930, pp. 66–68), works that are of fundamental importance in the foundation of the modern quantum physics. This formal mathematical tool had not, until now, a rigorous counterpart, neither in the area of the rigged Hilbert spaces theory. It is possible to find a systematic application of the above mentioned formal tool in (W. Pauli, Wellenmechanik, 1958), (R. Shankar, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Plenum Press, New York, 1994) and others.
