How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Cook isometry and intertwining

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)) and adopt all hypotheses of Cook domain criterion, writing its Hilbert space as H and renaming its operators A0,A as H0,H: these are self-adjoint operators on H with D(H0)⊆D(H), D⊆D(H0) dense and e−itH0-invariant, ∫half-line∥(H−H0)e−itH0ψ∥dt<∞ for ψ∈D, t↦(H−H0)e−itH0ψ norm-continuous for each ψ∈D, and Ω± the extensions constructed there. Then:

(a) Intertwining. Ω±e−isH0=e−isHΩ± for all s∈R, as bounded operators on H.

(b) Domain and commutation. Ω±D(H0)⊆D(H) and HΩ±ψ=Ω±H0ψ for every ψ∈D(H0).

(c) Range invariance. The closed subspace ran⁡Ω± is invariant under e−isH for every s, and e−isH∣ran⁡Ω±=Ω±e−isH0Ω±−1 in the sense of the isometric identification Ω±:H→ran⁡Ω±.

(d) Ω±∗Ω±=I, ∥Ω±η∥=∥η∥ for every η∈H; no surjectivity onto H and no identification of ran⁡Ω± with an absolutely continuous subspace is asserted.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: the data and conclusions of Cook domain criterion; s∈R; vectors ψ∈D and η∈D(H0).

[F1]

Ω± are bounded linear isometries extending the full strong limits on all vectors; Ω±∗Ω±=I and ∥Ω±∥≤1 (Cook domain criterion). Their norm is exactly 1 when the Hilbert space is nonzero, since the norm of every unit vector is preserved, and exactly 0 on the zero Hilbert space.

[F2]

The explicit autonomous construction and adjoint-testing generator characterization in Cook domain criterion give strongly continuous groups on arbitrary Hilbert spaces under CC, with η∈D(A) exactly when (e−itAη−η)/t has a strong limit, then equal to −iAη. These are the full generator domains in Infinitesimal generator of a unitary group.

Proof

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

[Correct time shift on the full strong limits] For any real s,t, the two group laws give F(t)e−isH0=e−isHF(t+s), because both sides equal eitHe−i(t+s)H0. The criterion gives full strong limits on every vector, and a fixed time shift preserves either infinite-time direction. Taking t→+∞ or t→−∞ and using boundedness of the fixed group factors therefore gives Ω±e−isH0=e−isHΩ± on the whole Hilbert space. This proves (a).

2.1step 1.1F1F2algebra

[Domain invariance and commutation] Fix η∈D(H0) and consider the difference quotient 1t(e−itHΩ+η−Ω+η). By step 1.1 this equals Ω+1t(e−itH0η−η); since η∈D(H0), the quotient converges to Ω+(−iH0η) by [F2] and [F1]. Applying [F2] to self-adjoint H shows Ω+η∈D(H) and −iHΩ+η=−iΩ+H0η, that is HΩ+η=Ω+H0η. The argument for Ω− is identical.

2.2step 1.1F1algebra

[Range invariance] Fix either sign. For η=Ω±ψ∈ran⁡Ω± and s∈R, step 1.1 gives e−isHη=Ω±(e−isH0ψ), which lies in ran⁡Ω±; hence the range is invariant, and the displayed operator identity holds on the range because Ω± is injective with Ω±−1η=ψ on the range.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1step 2.2F1∎

[Conclusion] Claims (a), (b), (c) are steps 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, and (d) is part of [F1]. No surjectivity or absolute-continuity statement has been used.

Remarks

For a bounded isometry Ω, convergence F(t)ψ→Ωψ implies ΩF(t)ψ−F(t)ψ→Ω2ψ−Ωψ. Isometry alone does not make this limit zero; no such assertion is used in the proof.
