Riesz-Kolmogorov compactness criterion, Lorentz convergence and Ruelle theorem on locally compact Abelian groups (Q1424816)

Let \(H\) be a self-adjoint operator in the Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\) and \(E\) its spectral measure. The pure point spectral subspace \({\mathcal H}_p\) of \(H\) is the closed linear space of the set of eigenvectors of \(H\). The continuous spectral subspace \({\mathcal H}_c={\mathcal H}\ominus{\mathcal H}_p\). Ruelle's theorem describes \({\mathcal H}_p\), \({\mathcal H}_c\) for a certain class of self-adjoint operators on \({\mathcal H}= L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\) in terms of bound and scattering states. The authors extend this theorem to arbitrary self-adjoint operators on \(L^2(X)\), where \(X\) is an Abelian locally compact group.
