The eigenfunction-space conjecture for spectral projections on Sierpinski fractafolds

Let Γ\Gamma be the graph under consideration, let μ\mu be the spectral measure, and let PλP_\lambda and Pλ~\tilde{P_\lambda} denote the spectral projection kernels introduced above. For μ\mu-almost every λ\lambda, write ξλ\xi_\lambda for a Hilbert space of λ\lambda-eigenfunctions with inner product  λ\langle\,\ \rangle_\lambda. Eigenfunction-space conjecture. For every f2(Γ)f\in\ell^2(\Gamma), one has PλfξλP_\lambda f\in\xi_\lambda for μ\mu-almost every λ\lambda, and

Pλf,f=Pλf,Pλfλ.\langle P_\lambda f,f\rangle=\langle P_\lambda f,P_\lambda f\rangle_\lambda.

Moreover, an analogous statement holds with Pλ~F\tilde{P_\lambda}F and Pλ~F,F\langle\tilde{P_\lambda}F,F\rangle. This would express the spectral densities in the Plancherel formula using inner products on spaces of λ\lambda-eigenfunctions; the source does not provide a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
