On a spectral representation for correlation measures in configuration space analysis
read the original abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of configuration space analysis by using the projective spectral theorem. For a manifold $X$, let $\Gamma_X$, resp.\ $\Gamma_{X,0}$ denote the space of all, resp. finite configurations in $X$. The so-called $K$-transform, introduced by A. Lenard, maps functions on $\Gamma_{X,0}$ into functions on $\Gamma_{X}$ and its adjoint $K^*$ maps probability measures on $\Gamma_X$ into $\sigma$-finite measures on $\Gamma_{X,0}$. For a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma_X$, $\rho_\mu:=K^*\mu$ is called the correlation measure of $\mu$. We consider the inverse problem of existence of a probability measure $\mu$ whose correlation measure $\rho_\mu$ is equal to a given measure $\rho$. We introduce an operation of $\star$-convolution of two functions on $\Gamma_{X,0}$ and suppose that the measure $\rho$ is $\star$-positive definite, which enables us to introduce the Hilbert space ${\cal H}_\rho$ of functions on $\Gamma_{X,0}$ with the scalar product $(G^{(1)},G^{(2)})_{{\cal H}_{\rho}}= \int_{\Gamma_{X,0}}(G^{(1)}\star\bar G{}^{(2)})(\eta) \rho(d\eta)$. Under a condition on the growth of the measure $\rho$ on the $n$-point configuration spaces, we construct the Fourier transform in generalized joint eigenvectors of some special family $A=(A_\phi)_{\phi\in\D}$, $\D:=C_0^\infty(X)$, of commuting selfadjoint operators in ${\cal H}_\rho$. We show that this Fourier transform is a unitary between ${\cal H}_{\rho}$ and the $L^2$-space $L^2(\Gamma_X,d\mu)$, where $\mu$ is the spectral measure of $A$. Moreover, this unitary coincides with the $K$-transform, while the measure $\rho$ is the correlation measure of $\mu$.
