Theorem 37.4.5 (Spectral Theorem II).label Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A \subset B(H)$ be a commutative $C^{*}$-subalgebra with $I \in A$, $B$ be the von Neumann algebra generated by $A$, $E: \cb_{\Omega(A)}\to B(H)$ be the spectral measure associated with $A$, $\mathscr{E}\subset M_{R}(\Omega(A); \complex)$ be the closed subspace generated by $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in H}$, and $\seqi{\xi}\subset H$ be a maximal family such that the subspaces $\bracsn{A\xi_i|i \in I}$ are mutually orthogonal, then:
- (1)
For each $i \in I$, there exists a finite positive Radon measure $\mu_{i}$ on $\Omega(A)$ such that for every Borel set $C \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$, $\mu_{i}(C) = 0$ if and only if $E_{x, y}(C) = 0$ for all $x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}$.
- (2)
$\mathscr{E}$ is a quotient of $[l^{1}(I); L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$, and $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ is a subspace of $[l^{\infty}(I); L^{\infty}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$.
- (3)
There exists a unitary equivalence $U: H \to [l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ between $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ acting on $[l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ and $B$ acting on $H$, such that for each $i \in I$, $U|_{\ol{A\xi_i}}$ is an isometry onto the $i$-th factor of $[l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$.
Proof, [Theorem 1.47, Fol16]. (1): Fix $i \in I$ and let $\mu_{i} = E_{\xi_i, \xi_i}$, then for any $C \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$ with $E_{x, y}(C) = 0$ for all $x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}$, $\mu_{i}(C) = 0$. By (1) and (2) of Lemma 37.4.2, $\mu_{i}$ is a finite positive Radon measure.
By Spectral Theorem I, for each $S, T \in A$ and $C \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$,
so $\Gamma_{A}S \cdot \ol{\Gamma_AT}dE_{\xi_i, \xi_i}= dE_{S\xi_i, T\xi_i}\ll \mu_{i}$. By (1) of Lemma 37.4.2 and completeness of $L^{1}(\mu; \complex)$, $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}}$ is absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu_{i}$. Therefore for any $C \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$, $\mu_{i}(C) = 0$ if and only if $E_{x, y}(C) = 0$ for all $x, y \in \ol{A \xi_i}$.
(2): Let
For any $i, j \in I$ with $i \ne j$, $x \in \ol{A\xi_i}$, $y \in \ol{A\xi_j}$, and $f \in C(\Omega(A); \complex)$,
because $\ol{A\xi_i}\perp \ol{A\xi_j}$, so $E_{x, y}= 0$. By (1), $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}}\subset S([l^{1}(I); L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)])$ for all $i \in I$. For each $i \in I$, let $P_{i} \in B(H)$ be the orthogonal projection of $H$ onto $\ol{A\xi_i}$, then as $\seqi{\xi}$ is maximal, $x = \sum_{i \in I}P_{i}x$ for all $x \in H$. Thus for any $x, y \in H$,
so $\mathscr{E}\subset S([l^{1}(I); L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)])$.
On the other hand, for each $i \in I$, since $\mu_{i}$ is a Radon measure, $C(\Omega(A); \complex)$ is dense in $L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)$ by Proposition 25.1.7. As
and $\mathscr{E}\subset M_{R}(\Omega(A); \complex)$ is closed, $\mathscr{E}\supset \bracsn{f d\mu_i|f \in L^1(\mu_i; \complex)}$.
Finally, given that the above holds for all $i \in I$, $\mathscr{E}= S([l^{1}(I); L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)])$. By Theorem 16.5.6 and Theorem 16.3.4, $[l^{\infty}(I); L^{\infty}(\mu_{i}; \complex)] = [l^{1}(I); L^{1}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]^{*}$, so $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ may be identified with its image under the adjoint of $S$.
(3): Fix $i \in I$, then for any $S, T \in A$ with $S\xi_{i} = T\xi_{i}$,
so $\Gamma_{A} S = \Gamma_{A} T$ $\mu_{i}$-almost everywhere. Thus the mapping
is well-defined. Moreover, for any $S, T \in A$,
so $U_{i}$ extends into an isometry between $\ol{A\xi_i}$ and $L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)$.
For each $i \in I$, let $P_{i} \in B(H)$ be the orthogonal projection of $H$ onto $\ol{A\xi_i}$, then
is an isometry between $H$ and $[l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ such that $U(Tx) = \Gamma_{A}T \cdot Ux$ for all $x \in H$ and $T \in A$.
Finally, given that
- (i)
By Goldstine’s Theorem, $C(\Omega(A); \complex)$ is weak*-dense in $\mathscr{E}^{*}$.
- (ii)
The weak* topology on $[l^{\infty}(I); L^{\infty}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ is equal to the weak operator topology of $[l^{\infty}(I); L^{\infty}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ acting on $[l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$.
- (iii)
$A$ is weak-operator dense in $B$.
- (iv)
By Spectral Theorem I, the isomorphism $\phi \mapsto \int \phi dE$ is continuous from the weak* topology on $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ to the weak operator topology on $B$.
the mapping $U$ is a unitary equivalence between $\mathscr{E}^{*}$ acting on $[l^{2}(I); L^{2}(\mu_{i}; \complex)]$ and $B$ acting on $H$.$\square$
