The spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators
i. Overview
The spectral measure on `ℝ` obtained from the Cayley transform of a self-adjoint operator `T` reconstructs `T`: its domain is the set of vectors `x` with `∫ λ² dμₓ < ∞`, and on it `⟪y, T x⟫ = ∫ λ d⟪y, μ x⟫`. This is the spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators, and it also applies to the closure of an essentially self-adjoint operator.

- `unboundedSpectralTheorem` : **the spectral theorem** for a self-adjoint operator. - `unboundedSpectralTheorem_of_essentiallySelfAdjoint` : the same for the closure of an essentially self-adjoint operator. - `cayleyRealSpectralMeasure_eq_maximal` : the spectral measure has the maximal domain.

A. Restriction identities for PVM scalar measures
These identities are independent of the Cayley transform. They express the elementary fact that testing a projection-valued measure after applying one of its projections restricts the corresponding scalar measure. They are the bookkeeping lemmas needed when a bounded spectral moment is localized to a measurable spectral set.
B. Complex vector-measure density transport
The scalar measures of a complex PVM are complex vector measures, rather than positive measures. This is the reusable density-integral theorem needed by the inverse Cayley step.
C. The inverse-moment transport lemma
The bounded spectral measure of the Cayley transform reconstructs `z`. An integral identity for the inverse Cayley transform on the bounded measure transports to the real spectral measure.
