Operators on Hilbert Space

Serves as a primer on the theory of bounded linear operators on separable Hilbert space Presents the spectral theorem as a statement on the existence of a unique continuous and measurable functional calculus Discusses a proof without digressing into a course on the Gelfand theory of commutative Banach algebras Introduces the reader to the basic facts concerning the various von Neumann–Schatten ideals, the compact operators, the trace-class operators and all bounded operators Is authored by the winner of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology The primarily objective of the book is to serve as a primer on the theory of bounded linear operators on separable Hilbert space. The book presents the spectral theorem as a statement on the existence of a unique continuous and measurable functional calculus. It discusses a proof without digressing into a course on the Gelfand theory of commutative Banach algebras. The book also introduces the reader to the basic facts concerning the various von Neumann–Schatten ideals, the compact operators, the trace-class operators and all bounded operators.
