Abstract

It is shown that if XX is a unitary operator so that a singular subspace of~UU is unitarily equivalent to a singular subspace of~UXUX (or XUXU), for each unitary operator~UU, then XX is the identity operator. In other words, there is no nontrivial generalization of Birman-Krein Theorem that includes the preservation of a singular spectral subspace in this context.
