Abstract

After introducing a natural notion of continuous fields of locally convex spaces, we establish a new theory of strongly continuous families of possibly unbounded self-adjoint operators over varying Hilbert spaces. This setting allows to treat operator families defined on bundles of Hilbert spaces that are not locally trivial (such as e.g.~the tangent bundle of Wasserstein space), without referring to identification operators at all.
