Popis: A study is made, of families of Hamiltonians parameterized over open subsets of Banach spaces in a way which renders many interesting properties of eigenstates and thermal states analytic functions of the parameter. Examples of such properties are charge/current densities. The apparatus can be considered a generalization of Kato's theory of analytic families of type B insofar as the parameterizing spaces are infinite dimensional. It is based on the general theory of holomorphy in Banach spaces and an identification of suitable classes of sesquilinear forms with operator spaces associated with Hilbert riggings. The conditions of lower-boundedness and reality appropriate to proper Hamiltonians is thus relaxed to sectoriality, so that holomorphy can be used. Convenient criteria are given to show that a parameterization $x \mapsto {\mathsf{h}}_x$ of sesquilinear forms is of the required sort ({\it regular sectorial families}). The key maps ${\mathcal R}(\zeta,x) = (\zeta - H_x)^{-1}$ and ${\mathcal E}(\beta,x) = e^{-\beta H_x}$, where $H_x$ is the closed sectorial operator associated to ${\mathsf {h}}_x$, are shown to be analytic. These mediate analyticity of the variety of state properties mentioned above. A detailed study is made of nonrelativistic quantum mechanical Hamiltonians parameterized by scalar- and vector-potential fields and two-body interactions.
