The strongly continuous unitary group generated by a real spectral measure

Given `μS : WOTSpectralMeasure ℝ H`, exponentiating the bounded multiplier `x ↦ exp(itx)` against `μS` (via `boundedIntegral`, `BoundedIntegral.lean`) produces, for each real `t`, a unitary `expIntegral μS t = exp(itT) : H →WOT[ℂ] H` — "the unitary group generated by `μS`'s self-adjoint operator", without ever needing to construct the (generally unbounded) operator `T` itself. The group law `expIntegral μS (t + s) = expIntegral μS t * expIntegral μS s` follows from `boundedIntegral_mul` and `exp(i(t+s)x) = exp(itx)·exp(isx)`; strong continuity in `t` follows from the vector-state norm-square identity (`boundedIntegral_norm_sq_eq_integral`) and dominated convergence.

This packages exactly the representation-level half of Stone's theorem — "a (bounded, exponential) spectral integral gives rise to a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group" — as `StrongUnitaryOneParameterGroup` and `expUnitaryGroup`. The converse direction (every strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group arises this way, from the spectral measure of its generator) is the remaining content of Stone's theorem; it needs the unbounded spectral theorem itself to produce the generator's spectral measure in the first place, and is not built here.

definition

The exponential multiplier x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx}

For a given real parameter t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, this is the complex-valued function of a real variable x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R} defined by x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx}, where ii is the imaginary unit.

theorem

The function x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} is measurable

For any real number t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, the complex-valued function x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} is measurable.

theorem

The exponential multiplier x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} is bounded.

For any real number t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, there exists a constant CC such that for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}, the magnitude of the exponential function ∣eitx∣≤C|e^{itx}| \leq C.

theorem

∣eitx∣=1|e^{itx}| = 1

For any real number tt, the complex-valued function x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} has a modulus of 1 for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}. That is, ∣eitx∣=1|e^{itx}| = 1.

theorem

e−itx=eitx‾e^{-itx} = \overline{e^{itx}}

For any real number t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, the function x↦e−itxx \mapsto e^{-itx} is the pointwise complex conjugate of the function x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx}.

theorem

The difference eitx−eisxe^{itx} - e^{isx} is uniformly bounded in xx

For any real numbers tt and ss, there exists a constant CC such that for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}, the norm of the difference between the exponential multipliers is bounded: ∥eitx−eisx∥≤C\| e^{itx} - e^{isx} \| \leq C

theorem

ei(t+s)x=eitxeisxe^{i(t+s)x} = e^{itx} e^{isx}

For any real numbers tt and ss, the exponential multiplier function x↦ei(t+s)xx \mapsto e^{i(t+s)x} is equal to the pointwise product of the functions x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} and x↦eisxx \mapsto e^{isx}.

definition

The unitary operator eitT=∫Reitx dμS(x)e^{itT} = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x)

Given a spectral measure μS\mu_S on R\mathbb{R} (acting on a Hilbert space HH) and a real parameter t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, this definition constructs the bounded operator obtained by integrating the function x↦eitxx \mapsto e^{itx} with respect to μS\mu_S. In the context of Stone's theorem, this corresponds to the unitary operator eitTe^{itT} generated by the self-adjoint operator TT associated with the spectral measure, expressed as: exp⁡(itT)=∫Reitx dμS(x) \exp(itT) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x)

theorem

Group Law for the Spectral Integral: ei(t+s)T=eitTeisTe^{i(t+s)T} = e^{itT} e^{isT}

Let μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH. For any real numbers tt and ss, let the operator exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) be defined by the spectral integral ∫Reitx dμS(x)\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x). Then the group law holds: exp⁡(i(t+s)T)=exp⁡(itT)exp⁡(isT)\exp(i(t+s)T) = \exp(itT) \exp(isT)

theorem

exp⁡(i⋅0⋅T)=I\exp(i \cdot 0 \cdot T) = I for the unitary group generated by a spectral measure

Let μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH. The operator exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) evaluated at t=0t = 0, defined as the integral of the function x↦ei⋅0⋅x=1x \mapsto e^{i \cdot 0 \cdot x} = 1 with respect to μS\mu_S, is the identity operator II on HH. That is, exp⁡(i⋅0⋅T)=∫R1 dμS(x)=I\exp(i \cdot 0 \cdot T) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} 1 \, d\mu_S(x) = I.

theorem

exp⁡(−itT)exp⁡(itT)=I\exp(-itT) \exp(itT) = I

Let μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH. For any t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, let exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) be the operator defined by the spectral integral ∫Reitx dμS(x)\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x). Then the product of exp⁡(−itT)\exp(-itT) and exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) is the identity operator II on HH: exp⁡(−itT)exp⁡(itT)=I \exp(-itT) \exp(itT) = I

theorem

For any t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, let exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) denote the operator defined by the spectral integral ∫Reitx dμS(x)\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x). Then the product of exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) and exp⁡(−itT)\exp(-itT) is the identity operator II on HH: exp⁡(itT)exp⁡(−itT)=I \exp(itT) \exp(-itT) = I

theorem

The adjoint of the exponential integral exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) is exp⁡(−itT)\exp(-itT)

Let μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH. For any real parameter t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, let exp⁡(itT)=∫Reitx dμS(x)\exp(itT) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x) be the operator defined by the integral of the exponential multiplier. Then the adjoint of this operator satisfies: (exp⁡(itT))∗=exp⁡(−itT) (\exp(itT))^* = \exp(-itT) where exp⁡(−itT)=∫Re−itx dμS(x)\exp(-itT) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{-itx} \, d\mu_S(x).

theorem

eitTe^{itT} is a Unitary Operator

Let μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH, and let t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}. Then the operator defined by the spectral integral eitT=∫Reitx dμS(x) e^{itT} = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x) is a unitary operator on HH.

theorem

The difference of exponential integrals eitT−eisTe^{itT} - e^{isT} is the integral of the difference of exponential multipliers eitz−eisze^{itz} - e^{isz}

Let HH be a nonempty Hilbert space and μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} (acting on HH). For any real numbers t,s∈Rt, s \in \mathbb{R} and any vector x∈Hx \in H, the difference between the actions of the unitary operators eitTe^{itT} and eisTe^{isT} on xx is equal to the integral of the difference of their corresponding multipliers: exp⁡(itT)x−exp⁡(isT)x=(∫R(eitz−eisz) dμS(z))x \exp(itT)x - \exp(isT)x = \left( \int_{\mathbb{R}} (e^{itz} - e^{isz}) \, d\mu_S(z) \right) x where exp⁡(itT)\exp(itT) is the unitary operator defined by the spectral integral ∫Reitz dμS(z)\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itz} \, d\mu_S(z).

theorem

Strong continuity of the unitary group t↦∫Reitλ dμS(λ)t \mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{it\lambda} \, d\mu_S(\lambda)

Let HH be a Hilbert space and μS\mu_S be a spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} taking values in the bounded operators on HH. For any vector x∈Hx \in H, the map t↦(∫Reitλ dμS(λ))xt \mapsto \left( \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{it\lambda} \, d\mu_S(\lambda) \right) x is continuous from R\mathbb{R} to HH. This integral defines the unitary operator eitTe^{itT} where TT is the self-adjoint operator associated with μS\mu_S.

instance

Coercion of a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group to a function G:R→L(H)G: \mathbb{R} \to \mathcal{L}(H)

This instance allows a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group GG on a Hilbert space HH to be treated as a function. It maps each real number t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R} to a continuous linear operator G(t)∈L(H)G(t) \in \mathcal{L}(H).

theorem

G(0)=IG(0) = I for a Strongly Continuous Unitary Group

For any strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group GG acting on a Hilbert space HH, the value of the group at the parameter t=0t = 0 is the identity operator, i.e., G(0)=IG(0) = I.

theorem

The group law G(t+s)=G(t)G(s)G(t + s) = G(t) G(s) for a strongly continuous unitary one-parameter group

Let HH be a Hilbert space and GG be a strongly continuous unitary one-parameter group on HH. For any real numbers tt and ss, the group property holds such that the operator at t+st + s is the composition of the operators at tt and ss: G(t+s)=G(t)G(s)G(t + s) = G(t) G(s).

theorem

G(t)G(t) is a unitary operator for all t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}

Let HH be a Hilbert space and let GG be a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on HH. For any real number tt, the operator G(t)G(t) is a unitary operator.

theorem

Strong continuity of the group action t↦G(t)xt \mapsto G(t)x

Let HH be a Hilbert space and let GG be a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on HH. For any vector x∈Hx \in H, the mapping t↦G(t)xt \mapsto G(t)x from R\mathbb{R} to HH is continuous.

definition

Strongly continuous unitary group t↦∫Reitx dμS(x)t \mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x)

Given a spectral measure μS\mu_S on R\mathbb{R} acting on a Hilbert space HH, this definition constructs the strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group U:R→B(H)U: \mathbb{R} \to \mathcal{B}(H). For each real number tt, the operator U(t)U(t) is defined by the spectral integral: U(t)=∫Reitx dμS(x) U(t) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{itx} \, d\mu_S(x) This collection of operators forms a group under composition such that U(0)=IU(0) = I and U(t+s)=U(t)U(s)U(t+s) = U(t)U(s), where each U(t)U(t) is a unitary operator and the map t↦U(t)xt \mapsto U(t)x is continuous for every vector x∈Hx \in H.
