Dec 21, 2023 at 19:10 comment added Christian Remling @M.González: In that case $\sigma_{ac}=\sigma_{cont}=\sigma_{ess}=\sigma=[-1,1]$, $\sigma_{pp}=\{ 0\}$.
Dec 21, 2023 at 16:29 comment added M.González @Christian Remling: If $H$ is the orthogonal sum $L_2(-1,1)\oplus \mathcal{C}$ and $A(f(t),z)= (tf(t),0)$, which is the continuous spectrum of $A$?
Dec 21, 2023 at 15:41 comment added Christian Remling @M.Gonzalez: Since $R(A-t)^{\perp}=N(A-t)$ for $t\in\mathbb R$, this last condition repeats the first one, so this set is $\sigma(A)\setminus\sigma_p(A)$ (with $\sigma_p$ denoting the eigenvalues), and it's not even a spectrum (closed) in general.
Dec 21, 2023 at 10:28 comment added M.González @Christian Remling: For me, $z$ in the continuous spectrum of $A$ means $A-zI$ injective with proper dense range.

Dec 20, 2023 at 20:17 comment added Christian Remling @M.González: I don't think this is what the OP means by "continuous spectrum" (a vector is in the subspace corresponding to continuous spectrum if its spectral measure is a continuous measure on $\mathbb R$ (= has no atoms)). What you call continuous spectrum is more commonly referred to as "essential spectrum".
Dec 20, 2023 at 20:15 comment added Christian Remling Yes, this is true. I think your question would have been better suited for math.stackexchange.com , though.
Dec 20, 2023 at 19:26 comment added M.González The operator $A:\ell_2\to\ell_2$ defined by $A(x_n)=(x_n/n)$ is compact, self-adjoint, has an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors (the unit vector basis $(e_i)$), but $0$ is in the continuous spectrum of $A$.
