Suppose I have a direct integral of Hilbert spaces H=intoplusHxdxH=intoplusHxdx, and suppose I have an operator T:HtoHT:HtoH which is decomposable, and so it can be written as
T=intoplusTxT=intoplusTx for some measurable field of operators TxTx. Suppose furthermore that every TxTx is self-adjoint (and so also TT is self-adjoint), and let ff be a bounded measurable function on mathbbRmathbbR.
Under what conditions f(T)f(T) is decomposable (I guess always) and equal to the integral of the field f(Tx)f(Tx) ?
One paper which says something about this problem is Chow, Gilfeather, "Functions of direct integrals of operators". It actually states that the only necessary condition is that TxTx are contractions. But unfortunately I don't understand this paper, since it doesn't state its assumptions very precisely - for example, it doesn't seem to be assumed that the operator TT (or operators TxTx) is (are) normal, and so I don't what kind of functional calculus is considered.
