Transporting spectral measures along unitaries
i. Overview
A unitary `u : H ≃ₗᵢ[ℂ] H'` conjugates operators on `H` to operators on `H'`, and conjugation is a `⋆`-isomorphism in the weak operator topology. Conjugating a spectral measure on `H` gives a spectral measure on `H'` whose scalar and diagonal measures are those of the original, transported along `u`.
ii. Key results
- `unitaryConj` : conjugation of an operator by `u`. - `unitaryConjSpectralMeasure` : conjugation of a spectral measure by `u`. - `unitaryConjSpectralMeasure_scalarMeasure`, `unitaryConjSpectralMeasure_diagonalMeasure` : the transported scalar and diagonal measures.

Unitary conjugation in the Weak Operator Topology
Given Hilbert spaces and , a unitary operator , and a bounded linear operator on , this definition represents the conjugated operator acting on . The resulting operator is considered as an element of the space of bounded operators equipped with the Weak Operator Topology (WOT).
Unitary conjugation as an additive homomorphism in the Weak Operator Topology
Given Hilbert spaces and and a unitary operator , this map is the additive homomorphism from the space of bounded linear operators on to those on , both equipped with the Weak Operator Topology, defined by the conjugation .
Unitary Conjugation is Continuous in the Weak Operator Topology
