A unitary homomorphism from some Boolean algebra of sets into the Boolean algebra of projection operators on a Banach space. Every operator on a Banach space defines a spectral measure on the set of open-and-closed subsets of its spectrum by the formula

where is a Jordan curve separating from . Here, and . The construction of spectral measures satisfying these conditions on wider classes of Boolean algebras of sets is one of the basic problems in the spectral theory of linear operators.
