# {{ page.title }}

As usual, let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the space of Schwartz test functions on $\RR^n$.

{% definition Operator Valued Distribution %}
Let $\hilb{H}$ be a Hilbert space.
An *operator valued tempered distribution* $\Phi$ (on $\RR^n$)
is a mapping that associates to each test function $f \in \mathcal{S}$
an unbounded linear operator $\Phi(f)$ in $\hilb{H}$ such that
{: .mb-0 }

{: .my-0 }
- there is a dense linear subspace $\mathcal{D}$ of $\hilb{H}$ that
is contained in the domain of all the $\Phi(f)$ 
- for every fixed pair of vectors $\phi, \psi \in \hilb{D}$
the mapping $f \mapsto \innerp{\phi}{\Phi(f) \psi}$ is a tempered distribution.
