The bounded self-adjoint spectral measure
The bounded normal construction naturally produces a measure on the complex spectrum. For a self-adjoint operator that spectrum is real, so pushing the measure forward along `Complex.re` gives the real spectral measure consumed by the unbounded integral API. This file records that adapter independently of the Cayley transform.

Spectral measure of a bounded self-adjoint operator
Let be a complex Hilbert space and be a bounded self-adjoint operator. This definition constructs the real-valued Weak Operator Topology (WOT) spectral measure associated with . It is obtained by taking the spectral measure of (viewed as a normal operator on the complex plane ) and pushing it forward along the real-part function . Because is self-adjoint, its spectrum is contained in , and this measure represents the resolution of the identity for over the real line.
Reconstruction of a Bounded Self-Adjoint Operator from its Spectral Measure
Let be a complex Hilbert space and be a bounded self-adjoint operator. Let denote the spectral measure of on the real line (the resolution of the identity). For any vectors , the integral of the identity function with respect to the complex-valued measure is equal to the inner product of and :
Unitary intertwiners of a self-adjoint operator commute with its spectral projections
Let be a complex Hilbert space and be a bounded self-adjoint operator. Let denote the real-valued spectral measure (resolution of the identity) associated with . If is a unitary operator that commutes with (i.e., ), then for any Borel set , the spectral projection commutes with : Note that because is self-adjoint, the condition is sufficient to imply that commutes with the entire functional calculus of without requiring a separate hypothesis on the adjoint .
The spectral measure of a bounded self-adjoint operator has bounded support
Let be a complex Hilbert space and be a bounded self-adjoint operator. There exists a real constant such that the spectral measure associated with on the real line has bounded spectral support.
