Abstract

We introduce a natural framework for dealing with Mourre theory in an abstract two-Hilbert spaces setting. In particular a Mourre estimate for a pair of self-adjoint operators \((H,A)\) is deduced from a similar estimate for a pair of self-adjoint operators \((H_0,A_0)\) acting in an auxiliary Hilbert space. A new criterion for the completeness of the wave operators in a two-Hilbert spaces setting is also presented.
