A Local Spectral Theory for Closed Operators

This book which is almost entirely devoted to unbounded operators gives a unified treatment of the contemporary local spectral theory for unbounded closed operators on a complex Banach space. While the main part of the book is original necessary background materials provided. There are some completely new topics treated such as the complete spectral duality theory with the first comprehensive proof of the predual theorem in two different versions. Also covered are spectral resolvents of various kinds (monotomic strongly monotonic almost localized analytically invariant) and spectral decompositions with respect to the identity. The book concludes with an extensive reference list including many papers published in the People''s Republic of China here brought to the attention of Western mathematicians for the first time. Pure mathematicians especially those working in operator theory and functional analysis will find this book of interest.
