It follows (−B)β (−A)−β is bounded on D(A).Next reverse A and B in 54.3.31. This yields

This shows (−A)β (−B)−β is bounded on D(A) = D(B) . Note the assertion these arebounded refers to the norm on H.

a unique L(A,B) ∈L (H,H) such that L(A,B) = (−A)β (−B)−β on D(A). Let L(B,A) bedefined similarly as a continuous linear map which equals (−B)β (−A)−β on D(A) . Then

(−A)−β L(A,B) = (−B)−β
