Is Hermitian first order differential operator a multiplication operator?
A Hermitian first-order differential operator is not generally a multiplication operator. While a multiplication operator acts by multiplying a function by a scalar function, a first-order differential operator typically involves differentiation, which is a more complex operation. However, in specific contexts, such as in quantum mechanics or under certain conditions, a first-order differential operator could be expressed in a form that resembles a multiplication operator, but this is not the norm. Therefore, while they can be related, they are fundamentally different types of operators.
