Definition 39.5.3 (Integration Against Spectral Measure).label Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space, $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, $E: \cb_{X} \to B(H)$ be a spectral measure relative to $H$, $\mathscr{E}\subset M_{R}(X; \complex)$ be the closed subspace generated by $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in H}$, and

\[J: B^{\infty}(X; \complex) \to \mathscr{E}^{*} \quad \dpn{\mu, J(f)}{\mathscr{E}}= \int_{X} f d\mu\]

Then, $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ admits a unique weak*-continuous involution and a unique separately weak*-continuous product, such that $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ is a commutative unital $C^{*}$-algebra, and $J$ is a unital *-homomorphism.

For each $\phi \in \mathscr{E}^{*}$, let $I_{E}(\phi) \in B(H)$ be the operator defined by

\[\dpn{I_E(\phi) \cdot x, y}{H}= \dpn{E_{x, y}, \phi}{\mathscr{E}}\quad \forall x, y \in H\]

then

  1. (1)

    $I_{E}$ is a contraction from $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ to $B(H)$.

  2. (2)

    $I_{E}$ is continuous from the weak*-topology on $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ to the weak operator topology on $B(H)$.

  3. (3)

    $I_{E}$ is an injective unital *-homomorphism.

For any $\phi \in \mathscr{E}^{*}$, $I_{E}(\phi) = \int_{X} \phi dE$ is the integral of $\phi$ with respect to $E$.

Proof. (1): Let $\phi \in \mathscr{E}^{*}$ and $x, y \in H$, then by Lemma 39.5.2,

\begin{align*}|\dpn{I_E(\phi) \cdot x, y}{H}|&= |\dpn{E_{x, y}, \phi}{\mathscr{E}}| \le \norm{E_{x, y}}_{\mathscr{E}}\cdot \norm{\phi}_{\mathscr{E}^{*}}\\&\le \norm{\phi}_{\mathscr{E}^{*}}\cdot \norm{x}_{H} \cdot \norm{y}_{H}\end{align*}

Since the above holds for all $x, y \in H$, $I_{E}(\phi) \in B(H)$ with $\norm{I_E(\phi)}_{B(H)}\le \norm{\phi}_{\mathscr{E}^{*}}$.

(2): For each $x, y \in H$, $E_{x, y}\in \mathscr{E}$. Since $\angles{\int \phi dE \cdot x, y}_{H}= \dpn{E_{x, y}, \phi}{\mathscr{E}}$ for every $\phi \in \mathscr{E}^{*}$, $I_{E}$ is continuous from the weak* topology on $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ to the weak operator topology on $B(H)$.

(3): By Lemma 26.6.4, the simple functions $\Sigma(X; \complex)$ are uniformly dense in the bounded Borel functions $B^{\infty}(X; \complex)$. Since

  1. (i)

    $I_{E}$ restricted to $J(\Sigma(X; \complex))$ is a *-homomorphism.

  2. (ii)

    Multiplication and conjugation are continuous in the uniform norm on $B^{\infty}(X; \complex)$

  3. (iii)

    Composition and adjunction are continuous in the operator norm on $B(H)$

the map $I_{E}$ restricted to $J(B^{\infty}(X; \complex))$ is a *-homomorphism by continuity.

By Goldstine’s Theorem, $C(X; \complex) \subset B^{\infty}(X; \complex)$ is weak*-dense in $C(X; \complex)^{**}$, so $J(C(X; \complex))$ is weak*-dense in $\mathscr{E}^{*}$. As

  1. (i)

    $I_{E}$ restricted to $J(B^{\infty}(X; \complex))$ is a *-homomorphism.

  2. (ii)

    The involution $\phi \mapsto \ol \phi$ is weak*-continuous on $\mathscr{E}^{*}$.

  3. (iii)

    The adjunction $T \mapsto T^{*}$ is weak-operator continuous on $B(H)$.

  4. (iv)

    The product $(\phi, \psi) \mapsto \phi \psi$ is separately weak*-continuous on $\mathscr{E}^{*}$.

  5. (v)

    The composition $(S, T) \mapsto ST$ is separately weak-operator continuous on $B(H)$.

the map $I_{E}$ is a *-homomorphism by the weak* to weak-operator continuity established in (2). Since $E(X) = I_{B(H)}$, $I_{E}$ is a unital *-homomorphism.

Finally, let $\phi \in \mathscr{E}^{*}$ with $I_{E}(\phi) = 0$, then $\dpn{I_E(\phi)x, y}{H}= \dpn{E_{x, y}, \phi}{\mathscr{E}}= 0$ for all $x, y \in H$. As $\mathscr{E}$ is the closed subspace generated by $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in H}$, $\phi = 0$. Therefore $I_{E}$ is an injective unital *-homomorphism.$\square$
