Stone's theorem, reconstruction direction: `U t = exp(-it Hgen)`

The second half of Stone's theorem, completing `StoneGenerator.lean`'s existence result: the strongly continuous unitary group `U` a candidate generator `T := stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul` was built from is *recovered* from that generator's essential self-adjoint closure via the Cayley-transform spectral integral (`unboundedSpectralTheorem_of_essentiallySelfAdjoint`, `CayleySpectralData/SpecTheorem.lean`) and its associated unitary group (`WOTSpectralMeasure.expUnitaryGroup`, `StoneUnitaryGroup.lean`).

Strategy

For `V t := ContinuousLinearMapWOT.toCLM (D.expUnitaryGroup t)`, both `t ↦ U t x` and `t ↦ V t x` satisfy the same "Schrödinger equation" `w'(t) = i • T.closure (w t)` for `x` in the (dense) domain of `T := stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul`:

- the `U`-side derivative relation is `GeneratorInvariance.stoneCandidateGenerator_hasDerivAt`; - the `V`-side one combines `Flow.Stone`'s `expUnitaryGroup_hasDerivAt` with this Track's own `Flow.StoneInvariance.expUnitaryGroup_translate`.

Given that, `g(t) := ⟪U t x - V t x, U t x - V t x⟫_ℂ` has zero derivative everywhere (using that `T.closure` is self-adjoint, hence symmetric, so `⟪w, T.closure w⟫` is always real and the two cross terms of the product rule cancel exactly), hence is the constant `g(0) = 0`, hence `U t x = V t x` for every `t`. Density of `T`'s domain (already established in `StoneGenerator.lean`, since the analytic vectors used there are a subset of it) then extends this identity from the domain to all of `H`, using continuity of both `U t` and `V t`.

Main definitions

- `stoneReconstructionSpectralMeasure`, `stoneReconstructionData` : the Cayley-transform spectral measure and domain-aware spectral theorem for `stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul`'s closure. - `stoneReconstructionUnitaryGroup` : the resulting concrete `exp(itT)`, as a genuine `H →L[ℂ] H`-valued function of `t`. - `stoneCandidateGenerator_reconstruction` : `U t = stoneReconstructionUnitaryGroup t` for every `t` — the reconstruction theorem itself.

definition

Spectral measure of the reconstructed generator Tˉ\bar{T}

Given a strongly continuous unitary group U(t)U(t) on a Hilbert space HH, let TT be the candidate generator associated with it. This definition constructs the spectral measure μ\mu on R\mathbb{R} associated with the self-adjoint closure Tˉ\bar{T} of the operator TT via the Cayley transform. This spectral measure is represented as a Weak Operator Topology (WOT) spectral measure.

theorem

Spectral Theorem for the Reconstructed Generator Tˉ\bar{T}

Let H\mathcal{H} be a complex Hilbert space and U(t)U(t) be a strongly continuous unitary group on H\mathcal{H}. Let TT be the candidate generator associated with U(t)U(t). Then the closure of this operator, Tˉ\bar{T}, satisfies the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators with respect to the spectral measure μ\mu constructed via the Cayley transform. This provides the spectral representation Tˉ=∫Rλ dμ(λ)\bar{T} = \int_{\mathbb{R}} \lambda \, d\mu(\lambda) and identifies the domain of Tˉ\bar{T} accordingly.

definition

Reconstructed unitary group t↦eitTˉt \mapsto e^{it\bar{T}} via spectral measure

For a given strongly continuous unitary group U(t)U(t) and its candidate generator TT, let Tˉ\bar{T} be the self-adjoint closure of TT with its associated spectral measure μ\mu. This definition assigns to each t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R} the continuous linear operator V(t):H→HV(t): H \to H defined by the spectral integral: V(t)=eitTˉ=∫Reitλ dμ(λ) V(t) = e^{it\bar{T}} = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{it\lambda} \, d\mu(\lambda) This represents the one-parameter unitary group reconstructed from the spectral data of the generator's closure.

theorem

Uniqueness of solutions to w′=iTww' = iTw for symmetric operators TT

Let H\mathcal{H} be a complex Hilbert space and TT be a symmetric, partially defined linear operator on H\mathcal{H} with domain D(T)D(T). Suppose y,z:R→Hy, z: \mathbb{R} \to \mathcal{H} are differentiable curves such that for all t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, the values y(t)y(t) and z(t)z(t) belong to D(T)D(T). If both curves satisfy the Schrödinger-like differential equation ddtw(t)=iTw(t)\frac{d}{dt} w(t) = i T w(t) for all tt, and they share the same initial value y(0)=z(0)y(0) = z(0), then y(t)=z(t)y(t) = z(t) for all t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}.

theorem

U(t)x=eitTˉxU(t)x = e^{it\bar{T}}x for vectors xx in the domain of the candidate generator

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and U(t)U(t) be a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on HH. Let TT be the candidate Stone generator of U(t)U(t) with domain D(T)D(T). Let V(t)=eitTˉV(t) = e^{it\bar{T}} be the reconstructed unitary group obtained via the spectral theorem from the closure Tˉ\bar{T} of TT. For any vector x∈D(T)x \in D(T) and any time t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, the action of the original unitary group U(t)U(t) on xx coincides with the action of the reconstructed unitary group V(t)V(t) on xx: U(t)x=V(t)x U(t)x = V(t)x

theorem

The domain of the Stone candidate generator is dense in HH

Let HH be a Hilbert space and U(t)U(t) be a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on HH. The domain of the candidate generator TT (the operator constructed to satisfy the infinitesimal relationship with U(t)U(t) in the proof of Stone's theorem) is dense in HH.

theorem

Stone's Reconstruction Theorem: U(t)=eitTˉU(t) = e^{it\bar{T}}

Let HH be a Hilbert space and U(t)U(t) be a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on HH. Let TT be the associated candidate generator and Tˉ\bar{T} be its essentially self-adjoint closure. For any vector x∈Hx \in H and any time t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, the unitary group U(t)U(t) is recovered by the spectral integral of its generator's closure: U(t)x=eitTˉx U(t)x = e^{it\bar{T}}x where eitTˉ=∫Reitλ dμ(λ)e^{it\bar{T}} = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{it\lambda} \, d\mu(\lambda) is the unitary operator defined via the spectral measure μ\mu associated with Tˉ\bar{T}.
