Abstract
Given two Hilbert spaces, and , we introduce an abstract unitary operator on and its discriminant on induced by a coisometry from to and a unitary involution on . In a particular case, these operators and become the evolution operator of the Szegedy walk on a graph, possibly infinite, and the transition probability operator thereon. We show the spectral mapping theorem between and via the Joukowsky transform. Using this result, we have completely detemined the spectrum of the Grover walk on the Sierpi\'nski lattice, which is pure point and has a Cantor-like structure.
