On wave operators on the singular spectrum (Q549428)

There are considered wave operators in discrete time systems. Let \(H_1, H_2\) be two Hilbert spaces and let \(X\) be an operator from \(H_1\) to \(H_2\). Let \(U_1, U_2\) be a pair of unitary operators in \(H_1, H_2\), respectively. Then it is studied the limit of \(U^n_2 XU^{-n}_1\) as \(n\to\infty\), where the limit is taken in some universal sence. The spectral measures of \(U_1,U_2\) are not assumed to be purely absolutely continuous. Singular continuous parts are allowed. Let \(K= XU_1 - U_2X\), then the case with \(\text{ran}(K)= 1\) is studied. Some special results are given for \(\text{ran}(K)= 2\).
