A vector subspace closed in the norm topology of a Hilbert space is complete in the inherited norm and inner product. Its orthogonal complement gives a decomposition of the ambient Hilbert space into an orthogonal direct sum. This closedness permits orthogonal projection and ensures limits used in range arguments remain in the subspace. Every finite-dimensional vector subspace is closed.

For a strongly continuous unitary representation of a compact group, this Bochner integral exists in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and is a positive compact operator commuting with the representation. It is nonzero if $\xi \ne 0$, because $⟨K_{\xi }\xi ,\xi ⟩={\int }_G|⟨U_g\xi ,\xi ⟩{|}^{2}dg>0$. A nonzero eigenspace is finite-dimensional and invariant. Applying this on orthogonal complements yields an orthogonal direct sum of finite-dimensional irreducible representations, with no separability assumption on the represented Hilbert space.

The four commuting independent stabilizer generators define a two-dimensional stabilizer code. The identity and fifteen single-site Pauli errors have sixteen distinct four-bit error syndromes, so their two-dimensional images form an orthogonal direct sum of the physical space. This proves nondegenerate single-site correction and the perfect quantum error-correcting code property. The operators $X^{\otimes 5}$ and $Z^{\otimes 5}$ commute with the stabilizer and anticommute with each other. Multiplying $X^{\otimes 5}$ by $XZZXI$ gives, up to phase, $IYYIX$, a nontrivial weight-three logical operator, proving distance exactly three.

Let $K=\sigma (T)$ for a bounded normal operator on a nonzero complex Hilbert space. The zero Hilbert space has the trivial calculus. Take the inner product linear in its first argument. The continuous functional calculus is an isometric unital star-representation $\pi :C(K)\to \mathcal{B}(H)$ with $\pi (z)=T$. The Borel calculus will act on $B_b(K)$, the algebra of actual bounded Borel measurable functions. A quotient by null functions is introduced only after specifying the spectral measure; there is no preferred scalar measure such as plane area on $K$.

Here is a construction that also covers a nonseparable Hilbert space. For $v\in H$, the positive functional $f\mapsto ⟨\pi (f)v,v⟩$ has a finite regular Borel measure ${\mu }_v$ by the Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem. On continuous functions,Continuous functions are dense in $L^2(K,{\mu }_v)$. Hence $f\mapsto \pi (f)v$ extends to a unitary map from that space onto $H_v=\overline{\pi (C(K))v}$. This subspace reduces $T$ and $T^{\ast }$, which correspond to multiplication by $z$ and $\overline{z}$. Decompose $H$ as an orthogonal direct sum of such cyclic reducing subspaces, using maximality: a nonzero vector in the remaining orthogonal complement would generate another summand. The family need not be countable. This is the cyclic multiplication model for a normal operator.

On each summand define $f(T)$ to be multiplication by $f$, for $f\in B_b(K)$, and take their bounded direct sum. It defines a unital star-homomorphismThus $(fg)(T)=f(T)g(T)$, $\overline{f}(T)=f(T{)}^{\ast }$, and positivity of $f$ gives positivity of $f(T)$. The continuous functional calculus is recovered on $C(K)$.

Set $E(S)=\Phi (1_S)$ for a Borel subset $S$ of $K$. Then $E(S)$ is an orthogonal projection, $E(K)=I$, $E(S)E(R)=E(S\cap R)$, and disjoint countable unions add in the strong operator topology. Indeed on every multiplication summand the indicators add pointwise, and the tail squared norm is the measure of a decreasing sequence of sets tending to the empty set. Thus $E$ is a projection-valued measure, andFor $v,w\in H$, polarization gives scalar measures ${\mu }_{v,w}(S)=⟨E(S)v,w⟩$ satisfying $⟨f(T)v,w⟩=\int fd{\mu }_{v,w}$. Regularity of these finite scalar measures and uniqueness in the Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem make the projection-valued measure unique: its values on continuous functions determine all scalar measures and hence every projection. This also makes the calculus independent of the chosen cyclic decomposition.

The correct convergence assertion is bounded pointwise convergence in the strong operator topology. If $f_n\to f$ pointwise and ${\sup }_n\Vert f_n{\Vert }_{\infty }<\infty$, thenby the dominated convergence theorem. This need not be convergence in operator norm. For multiplication by $t$ on $L^2[0,1]$, the functions $1_{[0,1/n]}$ converge pointwise to $1_{\{0\}}$, their operators converge strongly to zero, but their operator norms are all one.

A Borel measurable function can vanish spectrally without vanishing pointwise. Precisely, $f(T)=0$ if and only if $E(\{|f|>\epsilon \})=0$ for every $\epsilon >0$, andThe upper norm bound follows by integrating $|f{|}^2$ against vector measures; a unit vector in any nonzero projection $E(\{|f|>C\})$ gives $\Vert f(T)\Vert \ge C$. The induced map on the quotient by these spectral-null Borel measurable functions is isometric. Every nonempty relatively open subset of $K$ has nonzero spectral projection, since otherwise a nonzero continuous function supported there would contradict faithfulness of the continuous functional calculus. This full support gives the usual continuous spectral mapping theorem, but for a Borel measurable function the exact statement is insteadIf an indicated neighborhood has zero projection, define a bounded reciprocal of $f-\lambda$ off it and zero on it; the calculus supplies an inverse. Conversely unit vectors in the nonzero projections for arbitrarily small neighborhoods give $\Vert (f(T)-\lambda )v\Vert$ arbitrarily small, contradicting invertibility. This is spectral essential range in Borel functional calculus. For example $1_{\{0\}}(T)=0$ in the multiplication model on $[0,1]$, although the pointwise range of that function is $\{0,1\}$.

Spectral projections provide reducing subspaces, and $E(\{\lambda \})H=\ker (T-\lambda I)$: the squared norm of $(T-\lambda )v$ is $\int |z-\lambda {|}^{2}d{\mu }_v$. In finite dimension the calculus is simply $f(T)={\sum }_{j}f({\lambda }_j)P_j$, the sum over eigenspaces. In general it also permits discontinuous cuts and Borel choices of square roots, such as $s(z)=|z{|}^{1/2}{e}^{i\mathrm{Arg}(z)/2}$ with $s(0)=0$, giving a normal operator $s(T)$ with $s(T{)}^2=T$ even when a continuous scalar branch is unavailable.

Any bounded operator commuting with both $T$ and $T^{\ast }$ commutes with their continuous functional calculus and with all $E(S)$. To justify the latter, regularity approximates $1_S$ by uniformly bounded continuous functions in the $L^2$ norms of any finite list of vector measures; the resulting net converges strongly to $E(S)$. Thus the Borel calculus lies in the Von Neumann algebra generated by $T$. On a separable Hilbert space, a countable dense list of vectors gives a controlling measure $\mu ={\sum }_j{2}^{-j}{\mu }_{v_j}/(1+\Vert v_j{\Vert }^2)$; spectral-null sets are exactly its null sets, and the range is the represented $L^{\infty }(K,\mu )$, equal to that Von Neumann algebra. Without separability this last equality is not automatic: for the diagonal operator with one eigenvector for each $t\in [0,1]$, the generated Von Neumann algebra has arbitrary bounded diagonal functions, while the original Borel calculus has Borel diagonal functions. The spectral-measure construction and the strong convergence theorem themselves require no separability. This distinguishes the Borel functional calculus for a normal operator from its continuous predecessor without confusing pointwise functions, spectral equivalence classes and topological closure.

An orthonormal multiresolution analysis consists of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space $(V_j{)}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ of the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ such thatThere is a scaling function $\varphi$ whose integer function translations form an orthonormal basis of $V_0$. Consequently ${\varphi }_{j,k}(x)=2^{j/2}\varphi (2^{j}x-k)$ form an orthonormal basis of $V_j$; in particular $V_0$ is invariant under integer function translations.

Let $W_j=V_{j+1}\ominus V_j$ be the orthogonal complement of $V_j$ in $V_{j+1}$. Nesting, density and the trivial intersection imply the orthogonal direct sumFor example, telescoping $V_{J+1}=V_L\oplus {⨁}_{j=L}^J{W}_j$ and letting $L\to -\infty$, $J\to \infty$ gives this decomposition; the corresponding orthogonal projections converge strongly to zero and the identity by the intersection and density properties.

To construct the orthonormal wavelet, use $\varphi \in V_1$ to write the scaling refinement equation $\varphi ={\sum }_n{a}_n\varphi (2\cdot -n)$, with $a\in {\ell }^2$ and ${\sum }_n|a_n{|}^2=2$. Put $m(t)=\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_n{a}_n{e}^{-int}$. The orthonormal translates and Fourier periodization criterion proved in part (b), applied to the scaling refinement equation, yieldsThis is the quadrature mirror filter identity. DefineThe Fourier series of $q$ is $\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_n{b}_n{e}^{-int}$, and $\hat{\psi }(2t)=q(t)\hat{\varphi }(t)$. The two rows $(m(t),m(t+\pi ))$ and $(q(t),q(t+\pi ))$ form a unitary $2\times 2$ matrix almost everywhere: both have squared norm one and their inner product is zero. This wavelet completion of a multiresolution filter proves not just orthogonality but completeness. Splitting a finer-scale coefficient Fourier series into its values at $t$ and $t+\pi$, this invertible two-channel matrix resolves it into a coarse-scale channel and its complementary channel. Thus the integer function translations of $\psi$ form an orthonormal basis of $W_0$.

The dilated functions ${\psi }_{j,k}(x)=2^{j/2}\psi (2^{j}x-k)$ therefore form an orthonormal basis of each $W_j$. The orthogonal direct sum proves the conclusion: every orthonormal multiresolution analysis produces an orthonormal wavelet basis $\{{\psi }_{j,k}:j,k\in \mathbb{Z}\}$ of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$.

A nondegenerate quantum code is perfect at correction radius $t$ if its distinct correctable Pauli error images exhaust the physical Hilbert space. Each image has dimension $2^k$, and their orthogonal direct sum is the whole $2^n$-dimensional space precisely when the quantum Hamming bound is an equality. This perfectness concerns unknown-location errors of weight at most $t$; it does not imply correction of every higher-weight error.
