Abstract

In this article, we prove the following spectral theorem for right linear normal operators (need not to be bounded) in quaternionic Hilbert spaces: Let T be an unbounded right quaternionic linear normal operator in a quaternionic Hilbert space H with domain D(T), a right linear subspace of H and fix a unit imaginary quaternion, say m. Then there exists a Hilbert basis N of H and a unique quaternionic spectral measure F on the σ- algebra of \mathbb Cm+ (upper half plane of the slice complex plane \mathbb Cm) associated to T such that ⟨ x | Ty ⟩ = ∫_σS(T) ∩ ℂm+λ dFx,y(λ), for all y ∈ D(T), x ∈ H, where Fx,y is a quaternion valued measure on the σ- algebra of ℂm+, for any x,y∈ H and σS(T) is the spherical spectrum of T. Here the representation of T is established with respect to the Hilbert basis N. To prove this result, we reduce the problem to the complex case and obtain the result by using the classical result.
