The future and past wave operators on the singular spectrum

We consider averaged wave operators constructed for singular unitary operators $U_1$, $U_2$ and a bounded identification operator $A$. In the case of rank-two commutator $AU_1-U_2A$, we show that averaged wave operators of past and future exist or do not exist simultaneously, and if they exist, they must coincide. As a consequence, we obtain some results concerning the boundary behavior of Cauchy-type integrals.
