Diagonal Riesz measures for continuous-function representations #
Let π : C(K, ℂ) →⋆ₐ[ℂ] (H →L[ℂ] H) be a unital star representation on a complex
Hilbert space, with K compact Hausdorff. For each ξ : H, the positive functional
f ↦ ⟪ξ, π(f) ξ⟫ determines a finite regular Borel measure on K.
The measure is determined by the identity
∫ f dμ_ξ = ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫ for each continuous f. Its total mass is ‖ξ‖², and
∫ ‖f‖² dμ_ξ = ‖π f ξ‖². The continuous functional calculus of a normal operator
specializes this construction: ContinuousLinearMap.diagMeasure is the
StarAlgHom.representationDiagMeasure of cfcHom.

The final identity uses StarAlgHom.norm_sq_apply_eq_re_inner_star_mul, a
quadratic identity for arbitrary star-algebra representations.
The finite regular Riesz measure of the positive functional
f ↦ ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫. For continuous f, it satisfies
∫ f dμ_ξ = ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫ and is unique among regular Borel measures.
Instances For
Integrating a continuous function against the diagonal measure gives the scalar
matrix coefficient ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫ for the fixed vector ξ.
A regular measure μ equals the diagonal measure μ_ξ iff
∫ f dμ = ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫ for every continuous complex-valued f.
The mass of the representation diagonal measure is the squared vector norm.
The total mass, in extended nonnegative reals.
Scaling the vector by c scales the diagonal measure by ‖c‖².
Scaling the vector by a unit complex number does not change the diagonal measure.
Negating the vector does not change the diagonal measure.
For every continuous symbol f, the squared L²(μ_ξ) norm equals
‖π(f) ξ‖²: explicitly, ∫ ‖f‖² dμ_ξ = ‖π(f) ξ‖².
