Let T be a (not necessarily bounded) self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H with the spectral resolution The set of elements x in H for which ||Etx||2 is absolutely continuous is a subspace, H a, of H which reduces T. (See H almos [1, p. 104]; Kato [2, p. 516].) If H a ≠ 0, the restriction of T to DTH a is called the absolutely continuous part of T; in case H = H a, T is said to be absolutely continuous.
