Spectral measures and the Cayley transform

i. Overview

Spectral measures on `ℝ` push forward along the Cayley transform to spectral measures on `ℂ` supported on the unit circle away from `1`. Pulling back along the inverse Cayley transform undoes this, which gives an equivalence between spectral measures on `ℝ` and such measures on `ℂ`.

ii. Key results

- `cayleyMap`, `cayleyInverseMap` : pushing forward along the Cayley transform and its inverse. - `cayleyMap_injective` : the pushforward is injective. - `CayleySupported` : a spectral measure on `ℂ` supported on the unit circle away from `1`. - `cayleyMeasureEquiv` : the equivalence between spectral measures on `ℝ` and Cayley-supported ones on `ℂ`.

definition

Pushforward of a spectral measure along the Cayley transform c∗μc_* \mu

Given a weak-operator spectral measure μ\mu on the real numbers R\mathbb{R} with values in the bounded operators on a Hilbert space HH, this definition constructs the pushforward spectral measure c∗μc_* \mu on the complex plane C\mathbb{C} along the Cayley transform c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}. The Cayley transform is defined as c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}. The resulting measure c∗μc_* \mu is defined such that for any measurable set E⊆CE \subseteq \mathbb{C}, (c∗μ)(E)=μ(c−1(E))(c_* \mu)(E) = \mu(c^{-1}(E)).

definition

Pushforward of a spectral measure along the inverse Cayley transform f∗νf_* \nu

Given a weak-operator spectral measure ν\nu on the complex plane C\mathbb{C} taking values in the projections on a Hilbert space HH, the function `cayleyInverseMap` defines a new weak-operator spectral measure on the real line R\mathbb{R}. This is constructed by taking the pushforward of ν\nu along the inverse Cayley transform f:C→Rf: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R}. For z≠1z \neq 1, the transformation is given by f(z)=−Imz1−Rezf(z) = \frac{-\text{Im} z}{1 - \text{Re} z}. For any measurable set B⊆RB \subseteq \mathbb{R}, the value of the resulting spectral measure is ν(f−1(B))\nu(f^{-1}(B)).

theorem

f∗(c∗μ)=μf_* (c_* \mu) = \mu for Spectral Measures

Let HH be a Hilbert space and let μ\mu be a weak-operator spectral measure on the real line R\mathbb{R} taking values in the bounded operators on HH. Let c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C} be the Cayley transform defined by c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}, and let f:C→Rf: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R} be the inverse Cayley transform. If c∗μc_* \mu denotes the pushforward of μ\mu along cc, and f∗f_* denotes the pushforward of a spectral measure along ff, then f∗(c∗μ)=μf_* (c_* \mu) = \mu.

theorem

The Cayley Pushforward c∗c_* is Injective for Spectral Measures on R\mathbb{R}

Let HH be a Hilbert space and let μ1,μ2\mu_1, \mu_2 be weak-operator spectral measures on R\mathbb{R} with values in the bounded operators on HH. Let c∗c_* denote the pushforward operation along the Cayley transform c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}, defined by c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}. If c∗μ1=c∗μ2c_* \mu_1 = c_* \mu_2, then μ1=μ2\mu_1 = \mu_2. In other words, the Cayley pushforward map is injective.

definition

Cayley supported property for a spectral measure ν\nu on C\mathbb{C}

Let ν\nu be a spectral measure on C\mathbb{C} acting on a Hilbert space HH. The property **Cayley supported** holds for ν\nu if the measure is supported on the unit circle excluding the point 11. Specifically, for any measurable set S⊆CS \subseteq \mathbb{C}, the spectral projection satisfies: ν(S)=ν(S∩{z∈C∣∣z∣=1,z≠1})\nu(S) = \nu(S \cap \{z \in \mathbb{C} \mid |z| = 1, z \neq 1\})

theorem

c∗(f∗ν)=νc_*(f_* \nu) = \nu for Cayley-supported spectral measures

Let HH be a Hilbert space and ν\nu be a weak-operator spectral measure on C\mathbb{C} with values in the bounded operators on HH. If ν\nu is **Cayley supported** (that is, ν\nu is supported on the unit circle excluding the point 11), then the pushforward of ν\nu along the inverse Cayley transform f:C→Rf: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R} followed by the pushforward along the Cayley transform c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C} recovers the original measure: c∗(f∗ν)=νc_*(f_* \nu) = \nu where c∗(f∗ν)c_*(f_* \nu) denotes `cayleyMap (cayleyInverseMap ν)`.

theorem

The Cayley transform of a real spectral measure c∗μc_* \mu is Cayley supported

Let HH be a Hilbert space and μ\mu be a weak-operator spectral measure on the real numbers R\mathbb{R} with values in the bounded operators on HH. Let c∗μc_* \mu be the pushforward of μ\mu along the Cayley transform c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C} defined by c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}. Then the spectral measure c∗μc_* \mu is **Cayley supported**, meaning it is supported on the unit circle excluding the point 11. That is, for any measurable set S⊆CS \subseteq \mathbb{C}, the spectral projection satisfies: (c∗μ)(S)=(c∗μ)(S∩{z∈C∣∣z∣=1,z≠1})(c_* \mu)(S) = (c_* \mu)(S \cap \{z \in \mathbb{C} \mid |z| = 1, z \neq 1\})

definition

Equivalence between spectral measures on R\mathbb{R} and Cayley-supported measures on C\mathbb{C}

Let HH be a Hilbert space. There is an equivalence (a bijective correspondence) between the set of weak-operator spectral measures on the real line R\mathbb{R} and the set of weak-operator spectral measures on the complex plane C\mathbb{C} that are **Cayley supported**. A spectral measure ν\nu on C\mathbb{C} is Cayley supported if its support is contained in the unit circle excluding the point 11, i.e., for any measurable set S⊆CS \subseteq \mathbb{C}, ν(S)=ν(S∩{z∈C∣∣z∣=1,z≠1})\nu(S) = \nu(S \cap \{z \in \mathbb{C} \mid |z| = 1, z \neq 1\}). This equivalence is established by the pushforward along the Cayley transform c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}, defined by c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}, and the pushforward along its inverse.

theorem

Change of Variables for Weak Integral via Cayley Transform: ∫g d(c∗μ)=∫(g∘c) dμ\int g \, d(c_* \mu) = \int (g \circ c) \, d\mu

Let μ\mu be a weak-operator spectral measure on R\mathbb{R} with values in the bounded operators on a Hilbert space HH. Let c:R→Cc: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C} be the Cayley transform defined by c(x)=x−ix+ic(x) = \frac{x - i}{x + i}, and let c∗μc_* \mu be the pushforward spectral measure on C\mathbb{C} along cc. For any function g:C→Rg: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R} and vectors x,y∈Hx, y \in H, suppose that gg is almost everywhere strongly measurable with respect to the pushforward of the total variation of the scalar complex measure μx,y(E)=⟨y,μ(E)x⟩\mu_{x,y}(E) = \langle y, \mu(E)x \rangle, and that g∘cg \circ c is integrable with respect to μx,y\mu_{x,y}. Then the weak integral of gg with respect to the pushforward measure c∗μc_* \mu equals the weak integral of g∘cg \circ c with respect to the original measure μ\mu: ∫Cg d⟨y,(c∗μ)(⋅)x⟩=∫R(g∘c) d⟨y,μ(⋅)x⟩ \int_{\mathbb{C}} g \, d\langle y, (c_* \mu)(\cdot) x \rangle = \int_{\mathbb{R}} (g \circ c) \, d\langle y, \mu(\cdot) x \rangle
