Representing Locally Hilbert Spaces and Functional Models for Locally Normal Operators (2507.19101v1)

Abstract: The aim of this article is to explore in all remaining aspects the spectral theory of locally normal operators. In a previous article we proved the spectral theorem in terms of locally spectral measures. Here we prove the spectral theorem in terms of projective limits of certain multiplication operators with functions which are locally of type $L^\infty$. In order to do this, we first investigate strictly inductive systems of measure spaces and point out the concept of representing locally Hilbert space for which we obtain a functional model as a strictly inductive limit of $L^2$ type spaces. Then, we first obtain a functional model for locally normal operators on representing locally Hilbert spaces combined with a spectral multiplicity model on a pseudo-concrete functional model for the underlying locally Hilbert space, under a certain technical condition on the directed set. Finally, under the same technical condition on the directed set, we derive the spectral theorem for locally normal operators in terms of projective limits of certain multiplication operators with functions which are locally of type $L^\infty$ in two forms. As a consequence of the main result we sketch the direct integral representation of locally normal operators under the same technical assumptions and the separability of the locally Hilbert space. Examples of strictly inductive systems of measure spaces involving the Hata tree-like selfsimilar set, which justify the technical condition on a relevant case and which may open a connection with analysis on fractal sets, are included.
