Summary: The adjoint of a well-bounded operator is also well-bounded, but in general the hoped for natural relationship between the corresponding decompositions of the identity do not hold if the underlying Banach space is nonreflexive. In this paper we discuss the conditions under which the adjoint family of a decomposition of the identity forms a decomposition of the identity for the adjoint of a well-bounded operator.
