The spectral measure of the Cayley transform
i. Overview
The Cayley transform `U` of a self-adjoint operator `T` is a unitary. The continuous functional calculus gives it a spectral measure on the unit circle. Since `1` is not an eigenvalue of `U`, this measure gives no mass to `1`, so it pulls back along the inverse Cayley transform to a spectral measure on `ℝ`, the candidate spectral measure of `T`.
ii. Key results
- `cayleyBoundedOperator` : the Cayley transform of `T`, as a bounded operator.
- `cayleyBoundedSpectralMeasure` : its spectral measure on `ℂ`.
- `cayleyBoundedSpectralMeasure_singleton_one` : the spectral measure gives no mass to `1`.
- `cayleyRealSpectralMeasure` : the pulled-back spectral measure on `ℝ`.

A. Spectral data from the functional calculus
The Riesz--Markov construction is carried out on the compact spectrum. The public spectral certificate should expose a measure on the ambient scalar field, since that is what the later functional-calculus and Cayley APIs consume. This wrapper performs exactly that harmless subtype pushforward and does not impose any unitary or Cayley support hypothesis.
A unitary with no spectral mass at `1` is now the exact input expected by the Cayley inverse. The only extra work is the support calculation: the normal PVM is pushed forward from the compact spectrum, and the spectrum of a unitary lies on the unit circle.
A.1. A bounded extension of the Cayley difference multiplier
The function `1 - z` is bounded on the unit circle, where the spectral measure lives, but not on `ℂ`. It is extended by zero outside the closed unit disk.
