Adjoint of a Bounded Operator
Suppose that H and K are Hilbert spaces and T(H,K). The adjoint of T is the unique operator T(K,H) satisfying Th,k=h,Tk for every hH and kK.
Adjoint Exists and is Unique
Every bounded linear operator between Hilbert spaces has a unique adjoint.
Self-Adjoint Operator
Suppose that H is a Hilbert space. An operator T(H) is self-adjoint if T=T.
Normal Operator
Suppose that H is a Hilbert space. An operator T(H) is normal if TT=TT.
Unitary Operator
Suppose that H and K are Hilbert spaces. A surjective linear map U:HK is unitary if Uh,Ug=h,g for every h,gH.
Projection Operator
Suppose that H is a Hilbert space. An operator P(H) is a projection if P2=P. It is an orthogonal projection if also P=P.
Spectrum of an Operator
Suppose that T(H). The spectrum of T is σ(T):={λ:TλI is not invertible}.
Spectrum of a Bounded Operator is Compact
Suppose that T(H). Then σ(T) is a nonempty compact subset of .
Spectral Radius Formula
Suppose that T(H). Then sup{|λ|:λσ(T)}=limnTn1/n.
Spectral Theorem for Compact Self-Adjoint Operators
Suppose that H is a Hilbert space and T(H) is compact and self-adjoint. Then H has an orthonormal basis consisting of eigenvectors of T.
