  • $\begingroup$ I am unable to see why $A'$ is self adjoint, or should the definition include $PBP$ instead of just $BP$ (or is $PB=BP=B$)? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Right, I forgot a factor $P$... corrected. Actually, it was not necessary since $Ran(B) \subset \cal H_E$, it holds $PB=B$... $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 3, 2017 at 15:24
  • $\begingroup$ As a clarification, this argument could be extended to a general Abelian group simply because the key point here, is that one can find a non-commuting operator if n>1, yes? In addition to this, could you please explain how the commutation relations between $A$ and $H$, and $P$ come to be? Thank you so much! $\endgroup$
