Course Description:

This is a continuation of the course Functional Analysis I (Math 5030-00), in which we have covered several fundamental concepts and theorems of Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces, and bounded linear operators.  Topics to be included in the second semester are:

 

1. Examples of bounded linear operators

2. Banach algebra, Gelfand’s theory

3. Examples of operators and their spectra

4. Compact operators

5. Fredholm’s theory

6. Invariant subspaces

7. Compact symmetric operators (if time permits)

 

This course is intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students who have moderate acquaintance on Hilbert and Banach space theories, such as Hahn-Banach theorem, open mapping and closed graph theorems, uniform boundedness principle, weak and weak* topologies, convexity and Krein-Milman theorem. Those who wish to take this course but have never taken Functional Analysis I are advised to consult with me before or during the first week of classes. Due to conflict with a national holiday and a school event, there will be no classes on 2/27 and 3/6. To make up the classes, we will first meet on 3/2, 14:20-17:20.
