\begin{proof}
|

Let $\lambda \in \sigma_A(x)$. By \autoref{proposition:gelfand-transform-gymnastics}, there exists $\phi \in \Omega(A[x])$ such that $\dpn{x, \phi}{A[x]} = \lambda$. By \autoref{proposition:multiplicative-pure-state}, $\phi \in P(A[x])$. The \hyperref[pure state extension theorem]{theorem:cstar-pure-state-extension} implies that there exists $\Phi \in P(A)$ such that $\Phi|_{A[x]} = \phi$. Thus $\Phi$ is a pure state with $\dpn{x, \Phi}{A} = \lambda$, and $ \sigma_A(x) \subset \bracs{\dpn{x, \Phi}{A}|\Phi \in P(A)}$.
|
||||
|

Let $\Phi \in S(A)$ and $\phi = \Phi|_{A[x]}$, then $\phi \in S(A[x])$ as well. By the \hyperref[Gelfand-Naimark Theorem]{theorem:gelfand-naimark}, the \hyperref[Spectral Theorem]{theorem:spectral-c-star}, and the \hyperref[Riesz Representation Theorem]{theorem:riesz-radon}, $\phi$ takes the form of a Radon probability measure $\mu$ on $\sigma_A(x)$. In which case,
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\dpn{x, \Phi}{A} = \dpn{x, \phi}{A[x]} = \int_{\sigma_A(x)}\lambda \mu(d\lambda) \in \ol{\text{Conv}}(\sigma_A(x))

Let $\lambda \in \sigma_A(x)$. By \autoref{proposition:gelfand-transform-gymnastics}, there exists $\phi \in \Omega(A[x])$ such that $\dpn{x, \phi}{A[x]} = \lambda$. By \autoref{proposition:multiplicative-pure-state}, $\phi \in P(A[x])$. The \hyperref[pure state extension theorem]{theorem:cstar-pure-state-extension} implies that there exists $\Phi \in P(A)$ such that $\Phi|_{A[x]} = \phi$. Thus $\Phi$ is a pure state with $\dpn{x, \Phi}{A} = \lambda$, and $ \sigma_A(x) \subset \bracs{\dpn{x, \Phi}{A}|\Phi \in P(A)}$.

By the \hyperref[Gelfand-Naimark Theorem]{theorem:gelfand-naimark}, the \hyperref[Spectral Theorem]{theorem:spectral-c-star}, and the \hyperref[Riesz Representation Theorem]{theorem:riesz-radon}, $\phi$ takes the form of a Radon probability measure $\mu$ on $\sigma_A(x)$.

(3): Let $\phi \in P(A)$, then $\phi$ is Hermitian. If $x$ is self-adjoint, then $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \in \real$.
|
||||
|

On the other hand, if $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \in \real$, then $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} = \dpn{x^*, \phi}{A}$, and $\dpn{x - x^*, \phi}{A} =0 $. If this holds for all $\phi \in P(A)$, then $x - x^* = 0$ by (1), and $x$ is self-adjoint.

||||
|
||||
(4): Let $\phi \in P(A)$, then $\phi$ is positive. Thus if $x$ is positive, $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \ge 0$.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, if $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \ge 0$ for all $\phi \in P(A)$, then $x$ is self-adjoint by (3). By \autoref{corollary:cstar-positive-property-probe}, $\sigma_A(x) \subset [0, \infty)$. As such, $x$ is positive by \autoref{corollary:spectrum-characterisation-iff}.
