The Cayley transform
i. Overview
The Cayley transform `c(x) = (x - i) / (x + i)` maps the real line onto the unit circle without `1`. Applied to a self-adjoint operator `T`, it gives the bounded operator `(T - i)(T + i)⁻¹`, which is unitary. This reduces the spectral theory of unbounded self-adjoint operators to that of unitaries.
