1 Bounded and Unbounded Operators
1 1 Bounded and unbounded operators 1. Let X, Y be Banach spaces and D 2 X a linear space, not necessarily closed. 2. A linear operator is any linear map T : D ! Y . 3. D is the domain of T , sometimes written Dom (T ), or D (T ). 4. T (D) is the Range of T , Ran(T ). 5. The graph of T is Γ(T ) = f(x; T x)jx 2 D (T )g 6. The kernel of T is Ker(T ) = fx 2 D (T ): T x = 0g 1.1 Operations 1. aT1 + bT2 is defined on D (T1) \D (T2). 2. if T1 : D (T1) ⊂ X ! Y and T2 : D (T2) ⊂ Y ! Z then T2T1 : fx 2 D (T1): T1(x) 2 D (T2). In particular, inductively, D (T n) = fx 2 D (T n−1): T (x) 2 D (T )g. The domain may become trivial. 3. Inverse. The inverse is defined if Ker(T ) = f0g. This implies T is bijective. Then T −1 : Ran(T ) !D (T ) is defined as the usual function inverse, and is clearly linear. @ is not invertible on C1[0; 1]: Ker@ = C. 4. Closable operators. It is natural to extend functions by continuity, when possible. If xn ! x and T xn ! y we want to see whether we can define T x = y. Clearly, we must have xn ! 0 and T xn ! y ) y = 0; (1) since T (0) = 0 = y. Conversely, (1) implies the extension T x := y when- ever xn ! x and T xn ! y is consistent and defines a linear operator. -
Adjoint of Unbounded Operators on Banach Spaces
November 5, 2013 ADJOINT OF UNBOUNDED OPERATORS ON BANACH SPACES M.T. NAIR Banach spaces considered below are over the field K which is either R or C. Let X be a Banach space. following Kato [2], X∗ denotes the linear space of all continuous conjugate linear functionals on X. We shall denote hf; xi := f(x); x 2 X; f 2 X∗: On X∗, f 7! kfk := sup jhf; xij kxk=1 defines a norm on X∗. Definition 1. The space X∗ is called the adjoint space of X. Note that if K = R, then X∗ coincides with the dual space X0. It can be shown, analogues to the case of X0, that X∗ is a Banach space. Let X and Y be Banach spaces, and A : D(A) ⊆ X ! Y be a densely defined linear operator. Now, we st out to define adjoint of A as in Kato [2]. Theorem 2. There exists a linear operator A∗ : D(A∗) ⊆ Y ∗ ! X∗ such that hf; Axi = hA∗f; xi 8 x 2 D(A); f 2 D(A∗) and for any other linear operator B : D(B) ⊆ Y ∗ ! X∗ satisfying hf; Axi = hBf; xi 8 x 2 D(A); f 2 D(B); D(B) ⊆ D(A∗) and B is a restriction of A∗. Proof. Suppose D(A) is dense in X. Let S := ff 2 Y ∗ : x 7! hf; Axi continuous on D(A)g: For f 2 S, define gf : D(A) ! K by (gf )(x) = hf; Axi 8 x 2 D(A): Since D(A) is dense in X, gf has a unique continuous conjugate linear extension to all ∗ of X, preserving the norm. -

Troelstra at the meeting of November 27,200O ABSTRACT We prove a version of the closed range theorem within Bishop’s constructive mathematics. This is applied to show that ifan operator Ton a Hilbert space has an adjoint and a complete range, then both T and T’ are sequentially open. 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper we continue our constructive exploration of the theory of opera- tors, in particular operators on a Hilbert space ([5], [6], [7]). We work entirely within Bishop’s constructive mathematics, which we regard as mathematics with intuitionistic logic. For discussions of the merits of this approach to mathematics - in particular, the multiplicity of its models - see [3] and [ll]. The technical background needed in our paper is found in [I] and [IO]. Our main aim is to prove the following result, the constructive Closed Range Theorem for operators on a Hilbert space (cf. [18], pages 99-103): Theorem 1. Let H be a Hilbert space, and T a linear operator on H such that T* exists and ran(T) is closed. -
Quantum Errors and Disturbances: Response to Busch, Lahti and Werner
entropy Article Quantum Errors and Disturbances: Response to Busch, Lahti and Werner David Marcus Appleby Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems, School of Physics, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected]; Tel.: +44-734-210-5857 Academic Editors: Gregg Jaeger and Andrei Khrennikov Received: 27 February 2016; Accepted: 28 April 2016; Published: 6 May 2016 Abstract: Busch, Lahti and Werner (BLW) have recently criticized the operator approach to the description of quantum errors and disturbances. Their criticisms are justified to the extent that the physical meaning of the operator definitions has not hitherto been adequately explained. We rectify that omission. We then examine BLW’s criticisms in the light of our analysis. We argue that, although the BLW approach favour (based on the Wasserstein two-deviation) has its uses, there are important physical situations where an operator approach is preferable. We also discuss the reason why the error-disturbance relation is still giving rise to controversies almost a century after Heisenberg first stated his microscope argument. We argue that the source of the difficulties is the problem of interpretation, which is not so wholly disconnected from experimental practicalities as is sometimes supposed. Keywords: error disturbance principle; uncertainty principle; quantum measurement; Heisenberg PACS: 03.65.Ta 1. Introduction The error-disturbance principle remains highly controversial almost a century after Heisenberg wrote the paper [1], which originally suggested it. It is remarkable that this should be so, since the disagreements concern what is arguably the most fundamental concept of all, not only in physics, but in empirical science generally: namely, the concept of measurement accuracy. -

Representations of such algebras encode the dynamics of orthonormal sets in a Hilbert space. We instigate a research program on concrete operator algebras that model the dynamics of Hilbert space frames.

On the Origin and Early History of Functional Analysis
U.U.D.M. Project Report 2008:1 On the origin and early history of functional analysis Jens Lindström Examensarbete i matematik, 30 hp Handledare och examinator: Sten Kaijser Januari 2008 Department of Mathematics Uppsala University Abstract In this report we will study the origins and history of functional analysis up until 1918. We begin by studying ordinary and partial differential equations in the 18th and 19th century to see why there was a need to develop the concepts of functions and limits. We will see how a general theory of infinite systems of equations and determinants by Helge von Koch were used in Ivar Fredholm’s 1900 paper on the integral equation b Z ϕ(s) = f(s) + λ K(s, t)f(t)dt (1) a which resulted in a vast study of integral equations. One of the most enthusiastic followers of Fredholm and integral equation theory was David Hilbert, and we will see how he further developed the theory of integral equations and spectral theory. The concept introduced by Fredholm to study sets of transformations, or operators, made Maurice Fr´echet realize that the focus should be shifted from particular objects to sets of objects and the algebraic properties of these sets. This led him to introduce abstract spaces and we will see how he introduced the axioms that defines them. Finally, we will investigate how the Lebesgue theory of integration were used by Frigyes Riesz who was able to connect all theory of Fredholm, Fr´echet and Lebesgue to form a general theory, and a new discipline of mathematics, now known as functional analysis. -
A Stepwise Planned Approach to the Solution of Hilbert's Sixth Problem. II: Supmech and Quantum Systems
A Stepwise Planned Approach to the Solution of Hilbert’s Sixth Problem. II : Supmech and Quantum Systems Tulsi Dass Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre, 7, SJS Sansanwal Marg, New Delhi, 110016, India. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Supmech, which is noncommutative Hamiltonian mechanics (NHM) (developed in paper I) with two extra ingredients : positive ob- servable valued measures (PObVMs) [which serve to connect state-induced expectation values and classical probabilities] and the ‘CC condition’ [which stipulates that the sets of observables and pure states be mutually separating] is proposed as a universal mechanics potentially covering all physical phe- nomena. It facilitates development of an autonomous formalism for quantum mechanics. Quantum systems, defined algebraically as supmech Hamiltonian systems with non-supercommutative system algebras, are shown to inevitably have Hilbert space based realizations (so as to accommodate rigged Hilbert space based Dirac bra-ket formalism), generally admitting commutative su- perselection rules. Traditional features of quantum mechanics of finite parti- cle systems appear naturally. A treatment of localizability much simpler and more general than the traditional one is given. Treating massive particles as localizable elementary quantum systems, the Schr¨odinger wave functions with traditional Born interpretation appear as natural objects for the descrip- tion of their pure states and the Schr¨odinger equation for them is obtained without ever using a classical Hamiltonian or Lagrangian. A provisional set of axioms for the supmech program is given. arXiv:1002.2061v4 [math-ph] 18 Dec 2010 1 I. Introduction This is the second of a series of papers aimed at obtaining a solution of Hilbert’s sixth problem in the framework of a noncommutative geome- try (NCG) based ‘all-embracing’ scheme of mechanics. -
Multiple Operator Integrals: Development and Applications
Multiple Operator Integrals: Development and Applications by Anna Tomskova A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales. School of Mathematics and Statistics Faculty of Science May 2017 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Tomskova First name: Anna Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Mathematics and Statistics Faculty: Faculty of Science Title: Multiple Operator Integrals: Development and Applications Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Double operator integrals, originally introduced by Y.L. Daletskii and S.G. Krein in 1956, have become an indispensable tool in perturbation and scattering theory. Such an operator integral is a special mapping defined on the space of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space or, when it makes sense, on some operator ideal. Throughout the last 60 years the double and multiple operator integration theory has been greatly expanded in different directions and several definitions of operator integrals have been introduced reflecting the nature of a particular problem under investigation. The present thesis develops multiple operator integration theory and demonstrates how this theory applies to solving of several deep problems in Noncommutative Analysis. The first part of the thesis considers double operator integrals. Here we present the key definitions and prove several important properties of this mapping. In addition, we give a solution of the Arazy conjecture, which was made by J. Arazy in 1982. In this part we also discuss the theory in the setting of Banach spaces and, as an application, we study the operator Lipschitz estimate problem in the space of all bounded linear operators on classical Lp-spaces of scalar sequences. -
An Introduction to Basic Functional Analysis
AN INTRODUCTION TO BASIC FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS T. S. S. R. K. RAO . 1. Introduction This is a write-up of the lectures given at the Advanced Instructional School (AIS) on ` Functional Analysis and Harmonic Analysis ' during the ¯rst week of July 2006. All of the material is standard and can be found in many basic text books on Functional Analysis. As the prerequisites, I take the liberty of assuming 1) Basic Metric space theory, including completeness and the Baire category theorem. 2) Basic Lebesgue measure theory and some abstract (σ-¯nite) measure theory in- cluding the Radon-Nikodym theorem and the completeness of Lp-spaces. I thank Professor A. Mangasuli for carefully proof reading these notes. 2. Banach spaces and Examples. Let X be a vector space over the real or complex scalar ¯eld. Let k:k : X ! R+ be a function such that (1) kxk = 0 , x = 0 (2) k®xk = j®jkxk (3) kx + yk · kxk + kyk for all x; y 2 X and scalars ®. Such a function is called a norm on X and (X; k:k) is called a normed linear space. Most often we will be working with only one speci¯c k:k on any given vector space X thus we omit writing k:k and simply say that X is a normed linear space. It is an easy exercise to show that d(x; y) = kx ¡ yk de¯nes a metric on X and thus there is an associated notion of topology and convergence. If X is a normed linear space and Y ½ X is a subspace then by restricting the norm to Y , we can consider Y as a normed linear space. -

Riesz-Like Bases in Rigged Hilbert Spaces, in Preparation [14] Bonet, J., Fern´Andez, C., Galbis, A
RIESZ-LIKE BASES IN RIGGED HILBERT SPACES GIORGIA BELLOMONTE AND CAMILLO TRAPANI Abstract. The notions of Bessel sequence, Riesz-Fischer sequence and Riesz basis are generalized to a rigged Hilbert space D[t] ⊂H⊂D×[t×]. A Riesz- like basis, in particular, is obtained by considering a sequence {ξn}⊂D which is mapped by a one-to-one continuous operator T : D[t] → H[k · k] into an orthonormal basis of the central Hilbert space H of the triplet. The operator T is, in general, an unbounded operator in H. If T has a bounded inverse then the rigged Hilbert space is shown to be equivalent to a triplet of Hilbert spaces. 1. Introduction Riesz bases (i.e., sequences of elements ξn of a Hilbert space which are trans- formed into orthonormal bases by some bounded{ } operator withH bounded inverse) often appear as eigenvectors of nonself-adjoint operators. The simplest situation is the following one. Let H be a self-adjoint operator with discrete spectrum defined on a subset D(H) of the Hilbert space . Assume, to be more definite, that each H eigenvalue λn is simple. Then the corresponding eigenvectors en constitute an orthonormal basis of . If X is another operator similar to H,{ i.e.,} there exists a bounded operator T withH bounded inverse T −1 which intertwines X and H, in the sense that T : D(H) D(X) and XT ξ = T Hξ, for every ξ D(H), then, as it is → ∈ easily seen, the vectors ϕn with ϕn = Ten are eigenvectors of X and constitute a Riesz basis for . -
Spectral Theory
SPECTRAL THEORY EVAN JENKINS Abstract. These are notes from two lectures given in MATH 27200, Basic Functional Analysis, at the University of Chicago in March 2010. The proof of the spectral theorem for compact operators comes from [Zim90, Chapter 3]. 1. The Spectral Theorem for Compact Operators The idea of the proof of the spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space is very similar to the finite-dimensional case. Namely, we first show that an eigenvector exists, and then we show that there is an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors by an inductive argument (in the form of an application of Zorn's lemma). We first recall a few facts about self-adjoint operators. Proposition 1.1. Let V be a Hilbert space, and T : V ! V a bounded, self-adjoint operator. (1) If W ⊂ V is a T -invariant subspace, then W ? is T -invariant. (2) For all v 2 V , hT v; vi 2 R. (3) Let Vλ = fv 2 V j T v = λvg. Then Vλ ? Vµ whenever λ 6= µ. We will need one further technical fact that characterizes the norm of a self-adjoint operator. Lemma 1.2. Let V be a Hilbert space, and T : V ! V a bounded, self-adjoint operator. Then kT k = supfjhT v; vij j kvk = 1g. Proof. Let α = supfjhT v; vij j kvk = 1g. Evidently, α ≤ kT k. We need to show the other direction. Given v 2 V with T v 6= 0, setting w0 = T v=kT vk gives jhT v; w0ij = kT vk.
