Simultaneous Williamson's normal form for positive operators

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We prove a simultaneous Williamson's normal form for two symplectically commuting positive operators $A, B$ on a real symplectic Hilbert space $(\mathbf{H}, J)$. Under a natural commutativity condition, there exists a (generally unbounded) operator $Φ$ that simultaneously diagonalizes $A$ and $B$ in the symplectic setting as $A = Φ^t M_A Φ$, $B = Φ^t M_B Φ$, and maps $J$ to a canonical symplectic operator. The result generalizes Williamson's normal form to infinite dimensions and yields a complete spectral invariant for the pair $(A,B)$.
