Technische Universität München Zentrum Mathematik Prof. Dr. Simone Warzel Dr. Frank Hofmaier Sommersemester 2016 Exercise sheet no. 8 Operator Theory (MA 5012) Exercises (to be discussed on June, 14/15) 29. Let A : D(A) → X, D(A) ⊂ X be a symmetric operator on a Hilbert space X. Show that the following statements are equivalent: (i) A is essentially self-adjoint, (ii) (A − z) D(A) = X for all z ∈ C \ R, (iii) there is z± ∈ C with Im z+ > 0 and Im z− < 0 and (A − z± ) D(A) = X, (iv) there is z± ∈ C with Im z+ > 0 and Im z− < 0 and ker(A∗ − z± ) = {0}, (v) σ(A) ⊂ R. 30. Let (M, µ) be a measure space and f : M → C measurable. a) Prove that the spectrum of the maximal multiplication Mf coincides with z ∈ C For all ε > 0 : µ{x ∈ M | |f (x) − z| < ε} > 0 . b) Give a characterisation of the point spectrum of Mf . c) Give an example of such an operator which has both point and continuous spectrum. 31.

Thus we have ran(A − z id) = ran(A − z id). Morevoer, A is essentially selfadjoint if and only if A is self-adjoint. Hence the equivalences follow almost immediately from the analogous theorem concerning self-adjointness which was proved in the lectures. 1 30 a) Note that the inverse of λ id − Mf (if existent) is multiplication by λ−f 1 which is a bounded linear operator on L2 (µ) if and only if λ−f ∈ L∞ (µ), as we have already seen at the very beginning of chapter II in the lectures. 1 ∈ / L∞ (µ) is equivalent to {x ∈ M | |f (x) − λ| < ε} having Furthermore, λ−f positive measure for all ε > 0. b) We have λ ∈ σp (Mf ) of and only if there exists ϕ ∈ L2 (µ) \ {0} such that f (x)ϕ(x) = λϕ(x) holds for all x up to a µ-nullset or, in other words, µ{x ∈ M : ϕ(x) 6= 0 and f (x) 6= λ} = 0 . c) One example can be constructed as follows. Let ν be Lebesgue measure on a closed disk K ⊂ C, say, and δ point measure at some point w ∈ C. Consider µ := ν + δ and f : K ∪ {w} → C, f (x) := x. Then • 1 f −λ ∈ L∞ (µ) ⇐⇒ λ ∈ / K ∪ {w}, • f (w) is the only eigenvalue of Mf with the multiples of the characteristic function χ{w} forming the corresponding eigenspace. 31 a) For a, b ∈ ℓ2 (N) we have hSa, bi = ∞ P an bn+1 . n=1 It is not difficult to see that S ∗ (b1 , b2 , b3 , . . .) = (b2 , b3 , b4 , . . .), S ∗ S = id and SS ∗ (b1 , b2 , b3 , . . .) = (0, b2 , b3 , . . .) whence SS ∗ is the orthogonal projection onto {x ∈ ℓ2 (N) : x1 = 0}. b) Clearly, ker(0 − S) = ker(S) = {0}. As ran(0 − S) = {x ∈ ℓ2 (N) : x1 = 0} is not dense in ℓ2 (N), we have 0 ∈ σr (S). c) Note that S is an isometry for every n whence kSk = 1 and σ(S) ⊂ {z ∈ C : |z| ≤ 1}. Assume there exists an eigenvalue λ of S and let x be a corresponding eigenvector. Since S is an isometry, we get |λ| = 1. Moreover, Sx = λx implies xn = λxn+1 for all n ∈ N whence |xn+1 | = |xn | holds for all n ∈ N contradicting x ∈ ℓ2 \ {0}. Pick λ ∈ C such that 0 < |λ| < 1. Then we have y := (λ, λ2 , . . .) ∈ ℓ2 . As we have just seen, ker(λid − S) = {0}. Moreover, ran(λid − S) is not dense in ℓ2 (N), as ∞ ∞ P P (λid − S)x, y = hλx, yi − hSx, yi = λxn λn − xn λn+1 = 0 n=1 n=1 ⊥ holds for all x ∈ ℓ2 (N) whence y ∈ ran(λid − S) . Therefore, we have shown that {z ∈ C : 0 < |z| < 1} ⊂ σr (S). Since σ(S) is compact, we now have σ(S) = {z ∈ C : 0 < |z| ≤ 1}. Let now |λ| = 1 and assume that λ ∈ σr (S) holds. Then ran(λ id − S) is not dense in X or, equivalently, ker(λ id − S ∗ ) 6= {0}. For a corresponding eigenvector x = (xn )n ∈ ℓ2 (N) \ {0} we then have S ∗ x = λx which implies |xi | = |xi+1 | for all i ∈ N which is impossible. Thus σc (S) = {z ∈ C : |z| = 1}. 32 Since A is self-adjoint, we have (A − λ id)∗ = A∗ − λ id = A − λ id. For λ ∈ ̺(A) ∩ R this yields (A − λ id)−1 being the inverse of a self-adjoint operator, which ist self-adjoint, too. Note that ran(A − λ id) is dense whenever λ ∈ C \ R ⊂ ̺(A) holds. Using the result from exercise 25a, we get ∗ −1 (A − λ id)−1 = (A − λ id)∗ = (A − λ id)−1 . Applying the first resolvent formula, we obtain (A − λ id)−1 (A − λ id)−1 = (A − λ id)−1 (A − λ id)−1 . Therefore, (A − λ id)−1 is normal. 33 a) As A∗ is closed, its graph D(A∗ ), k·kA∗ is complete. Since A is normal, we have kAxk = kA∗ xk for all x ∈ D(A) = D(A∗ ) or, in other words, the graph ∗ ∗ norms of A and A coincide. Thus D(A), k·kA = D(A ), k·kA∗ is complete whence A is closed. b) The equivalence (i) ⇐⇒ (ii) follows from A∗∗ = A. (i)⇒(iii): For arbitrary x, y ∈ D := D(A) = D(A∗ ), using the polarization identity, we obtain 2 2 2 2 1 hAx, Ayi = 4 A(x + y) − A(x − y) + iA(x − iy) − iA(x + iy) = 1 4 ∗ A (x + y)2 − A∗ (x − y)2 + iA∗ (x − iy)2 − iA∗ (x + iy)2 = hA∗ x, A∗ yi . Let now x ∈ D(AA∗ ). Then hAx, Ayi = hA∗ x, A∗ yi = hAA∗ x, yi for all y ∈ D , whence Ax ∈ D(A∗ ) and A∗ Ax = AA∗ x holds, showing that AA∗ ⊆ A∗ A. Analogously, with A∗ instead of A and, having in mind that A∗∗ = A, we get A∗ A ⊆ AA∗ . (iii)⇒(i): First note that for x ∈ D(A∗ A) = D(AA∗ ) we have kAxk2 = hAx, Axi = hA∗ Ax, xi = hAA∗ x, xi = hA∗ x, A∗ xi = kA∗ xk2 . Next we show that Graph A D(A∗ A) is dense in Graph(A). Assume there exists z ∈ D(A) such that (z, Az)⊥(y, Ay) holds for all y ∈ D(A∗ A). Then hz, (id + A∗ A)yi = hz, yi + hAz, Ayi = (z, Az), (y, Ay) = 0 yields z = 0 beacuse from exercise 28 we know that ran(id + A∗ A) = X. Let nor x ∈ D(A). Then there exists a sequence (xn )n in D(A∗ A) such that xn → x and Axn → Ax. Moreover, from kA(xn − xm )k = kA∗ (xn − xm )k for all n and all m, we can conclude that (A∗ xn )n is convergent. Since A∗ is closed this means that x ∈ D(A∗ ) and we have kA∗ xk = kAxk. Finally we can swap the roles of A and A∗ and eventually get kAxk = kA∗ xk for all x ∈ D(A) = D(A∗ ), i.e. A is normal.
