Polarized complex measures of a continuous-function representation #
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. Each vector ξ has a finite regular diagonal measure μ_ξ, with
∫ f dμ_ξ = ⟪ξ, π f ξ⟫ for continuous f (StarAlgHom.representationDiagMeasure). Complex
polarization of these diagonal measures gives, for every pair of vectors, a complex measure
μ_(ψ,ξ) = ¼ (μ_(ξ+ψ) + i μ_(ξ+iψ) - μ_(ξ-ψ) - i μ_(ξ-iψ))
with ∫ f dμ_(ψ,ξ) = ⟪ψ, π f ξ⟫ for every continuous f, the integral being taken through the
multiplication pairing ℂ × ℂ → ℂ. Its variation is dominated by the average of the four
diagonal measures, so it is finite and regular. By the uniqueness theorem for scalar measures of
regular variation on a compact Hausdorff space
(MeasureTheory.VectorMeasure.ext_of_integral_eq_on_continuousMap), μ_(ψ,ξ) is the only such
measure. Uniqueness gives its algebraic laws: it is conjugate-linear in ψ, linear in ξ,
conjugate-symmetric, and on the diagonal it is μ_ξ regarded as a complex measure.
Integrating a bounded Borel symbol f against these measures defines the matrix elements
⟪ψ, T_f ξ⟫ = ∫ f dμ_(ψ,ξ) of an operator T_f that extends π from continuous to bounded Borel
symbols (StarAlgHom.representationBorelOperator). The total variation bound
|μ_(ψ,ξ)|(K) ≤ 2 ‖ψ‖ ‖ξ‖ makes this sesquilinear form bounded.

The polarized complex measure μ_(ψ,ξ) of a representation of C(K, ℂ), the complex
polarization ¼ (μ_(ξ+ψ) + i μ_(ξ+iψ) - μ_(ξ-ψ) - i μ_(ξ-iψ)) of the diagonal measures. It is
the unique complex measure of regular variation with ∫ f dμ_(ψ,ξ) = ⟪ψ, π f ξ⟫ for every
continuous f (eq_representationPolarizedMeasure_iff). It is conjugate-linear in ψ and linear
in ξ.
Instances For
The value of the polarized measure on a measurable set, by the polarization formula.
The variation of the polarized measure is dominated by the average of the four diagonal measures in the polarization formula.
The polarized measure has regular variation.
Integrating a continuous function against the polarized measure gives the matrix coefficient
⟪ψ, π f ξ⟫.
A complex measure of regular variation equals the polarized measure μ_(ψ,ξ) iff its
integral of every continuous f is ⟪ψ, π f ξ⟫.
On the diagonal, the polarized measure is the diagonal measure μ_ξ regarded as a complex
measure, that is, with constant complex density 1.
On the diagonal, the polarized measure takes the real values of the diagonal measure.
On the diagonal, the variation of the polarized measure is the diagonal measure.
The polarized measure is additive in its first argument.
The polarized measure is additive in its second argument.
The polarized measure is conjugate-homogeneous in its first argument.
The polarized measure is homogeneous in its second argument.
The polarized measure vanishes when its first argument is zero.
The polarized measure vanishes when its second argument is zero.
The total variation of the polarized measure μ_(ψ,ξ) is at most 2 ‖ψ‖ ‖ξ‖. This follows
from the domination by the diagonal measures, after rescaling ψ and ξ by reciprocal positive
factors, which does not change μ_(ψ,ξ).
Conjugate symmetry. Exchanging the two vectors conjugates the polarized measure.
