The commutant of a set of bounded operators consists of the bounded operators commuting with each of them; the double and triple commutants are iterated commutants.

Statement

In the setting of Complex Hilbert Spaces and Bounded Linear Maps: Standing Notation, let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let S⊆L(H)\mathcal{S}\subseteq\mathcal{L}(H).

1. (Commutant) The commutant of S\mathcal{S} is the set

S′={T∈L(H): TA=AT for every A∈S}.\mathcal{S}'=\{T\in\mathcal{L}(H):\ TA=AT\ \text{for every}\ A\in\mathcal{S}\}.

The double commutant of S\mathcal{S} is S′′=(S′)′\mathcal{S}''=(\mathcal{S}')', and S′′′=(S′′)′\mathcal{S}'''=(\mathcal{S}'')'.
