Suppose I have a direct integral of Hilbert spaces H=intoplusHxdx, and suppose I have an operator T:HtoH which is decomposable, and so it can be written as
T=intoplusTx for some measurable field of operators Tx. Suppose furthermore that every Tx is self-adjoint (and so also T is self-adjoint), and let f be a bounded measurable function on mathbbR.
Under what conditions f(T) is decomposable (I guess always) and equal to the integral of the field 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 Tx 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 T (or operators Tx) is (are) normal, and so I don't what kind of functional calculus is considered.
