Abstract

We give a characterization of commutative semispectral measures by means of Feller and Strong Feller Markov kernels. In particular: {itemize} we show that a semispectral measure FF is commutative if and only if there exist a self-adjoint operator AA and a Markov kernel μ()():Γ×B(R)[0,1]\mu_{(\cdot)}(\cdot):\Gamma\times\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})\to[0,1], Γσ(A)\Gamma\subset\sigma(A), E(Γ)=1E(\Gamma)=\mathbf{1}, such that F(Δ)=ΓμΔ(λ)dEλ,F(\Delta)=\int_{\Gamma}\mu_{\Delta}(\lambda)\,dE_{\lambda}, \noindent and μ(Δ)\mu_{(\Delta)} is continuous for each ΔR\Delta\in R where, RB(R)R\subset\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}) is a ring which generates the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the reals B(R)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}). Moreover, μ()()\mu_{(\cdot)}(\cdot) is a Feller Markov kernel and separates the points of Γ\Gamma. we prove that FF admits a strong Feller Markov kernel μ()()\mu_{(\cdot)}(\cdot), if and only if FF is uniformly continuous. Finally, we prove that if FF is absolutely continuous with respect to a regular finite measure ν\nu then, it admits a strong Feller Markov kernel. {itemize} The mathematical and physical relevance of the results is discussed giving a particular emphasis to the connections between μ\mu and the imprecision of the measurement apparatus.
