Abstract:

We give a Herglotz-type representation of an arbitrary generalized spectral measure. As an application, a new proof of the classical Na\u\i mark's dilation theorem is given. The same approach is used to describe the spectrum of all unitary rank-one perturbations of a given partial isometry.
