The projection spectral theorem for a family, possibly uncountable, of commuting selfadjoint operators was proved by Yu. M. Berezanskiĭ [Russ. Math. Surv. 39, No. 4, 1–62 (1984; Zbl 0577.47019)]. The author gives a survey of its applications to Jacobi fields, the families \(J(\varphi)\) where the index \(\varphi\) is typically an element of a nuclear space. The operators \(J(\varphi)\) are defined on a Hilbert space with an orthogonal decomposition and have a kind of tridiagonal structure. Applying the spectral theorem, one obtains important classes of measures on infinite-dimensional spaces, such as Lévy white noise measures. Non-commutative versions of the theory are discussed.
