The existence of spectral decompositions in \(L^ p\)-subspaces (Q1064491)

This note outlines the main results of the authors' forthcoming paper, ''Stečkin's theorem, transference, and spectral decompositions''. An invertible operator U on a Banach space is called trigonometrically well- bounded provided that \(\{U^ n\}^{\infty}_{n=-\infty}\) is the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a suitable projection-valued function of the points in [0,2\(\pi\) ]. It is shown that every invertible power- bounded operator on a subspace Y of a reflexive \(L^ p\)-space is trigonometrically well-bounded. It is deduced from this that every uniformly bounded, strongly continuous, one-parameter group on Y is the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a projection-valued function of the points on the real line. It is also shown that power-bounded, trigonometrically well-bounded operators on Banach spaces have an associated theory of operator-valued Fourier series.
