Older notes
- [ Intersections of opens, unions of
closeds, over compact families
]
[ updated 18 Aug '12]
... In general, only finite intersections of opens are open, and only finite unions
of closeds are closed. However, in more structured situations the
same conclusions hold for compact families rather than finite.
- [ Riesz' Lemma
]
[ updated 13 Nov '17]
... that for non-dense subspace X in Banach space Y, and for
0<r<1 there is y in Y with |y|=1 and inf |x-y|< r, where the
inf is over x in X. Useful as a sort of Banach-space substitute for
orthogonality in Hilbert spaces, not hard to prove, but rarely labelled
by this name in texts, therefore oddly hard to find.
- [ Simplest Levi-Sobolev imbedding and
Rellich-Kondrachev lemma
]
[ updated 20 Mar '12]
... simplest case of Levi-Sobolev imbedding: +1-index L2 Levi-Sobolev
space on [0,1] is inside continuous functions, and
Rellich-Kondrachev: the inclusion of +1-index Levi-Sobolev space into
L2[0,1] is compact .
- [ Young's inequality (numerical case)
]
[ updated 03 Mar '12]
... ab is less than ap/p + bq/q for conjugate exponents
1/p+1/q=1. It's
easy enough, just convexity of log, but p=q=2 is even easier,
sometimes making the general case mysteriously difficult by
comparison. Young's 1912 papers cited (locations retrieved from Wiki).
- [ Simple example Friedrichs extensions
of restrictions of Laplacians
]
[ updated 01 Mar '12]
... giving spectral decomposition of Laplacian on [a,b] from that of
the whole line. Obtaining Dirichlet problem boundary condition at
endpoints.
- [ Criterion for essential self-adjointness
]
[ updated 23 Feb '12]
... criterion for uniqueness of self-adjoint extension of symmetric unbounded
operators. Cautionary examples of incomparable self-adjoint
extensions. Examples of symmetric operators with self-adjoint
closures.
- [ Hilbert-Schmidt, compact operators,
spectral theorem
]
[ updated 01 Mar '12]
... Spectral theorem for self-adjoint, compact
operators on Hilbert spaces. Hilbert-Schmidt operators are compact.
[Some really dumb cut-and-paste errors corrected]
- [ Plancherel and spectral decompositions
]
[ updated 25 Mar '14]
... L2 differentiation, L2 Levi-Sobolev spaces, for
Fourier series and Fourier transforms.
- [ Compact operators on Banach spaces
]
[ updated 04 Mar '12]
... the basic Fredholm-Riesz theory of compact operators on Banach
spaces: non-zero spectrum consists entirely of eigenvalues,
eigenspaces are finite-dimensional, the only accumulation point of
the spectrum is 0, and the Fredholm alternative: for
compact T and nonzero complex z,
either T-z is a bijection, or
its kernel and cokernel have the same (finite) dimension (and the
image is closed).
- [ Compact resolvents and perturbations
]
[ updated 24 Jul '11]
... Especially for unbounded operators on Hilbert or Banach spaces,
compactness of the resolvent, and the pursuant meromorphy in the
spectral parameter is very important. We prove that compactness of
the resolvent at any single point implies meromorphy and compactness
everywhere away from poles.
- [ nuclear spaces and kernel
theorem I
]
[ updated 19 Jul '11]
... Hilbert-Schmidt operators on Hilbert spaces, simplest nuclear
Frechet spaces constructed as Hilbert-Schmidt limits of Hilbert
spaces, categorical tensor products, strong dual topologies and
colimits, Schwartz' kernel theorem for Levi-Sobolev spaces.
- [ uncountable coproducts
]
[ updated 18 Jul '11]
... of locally convex topological vector spaces, in the locally convex
category, fail to be coproducts in the larger category of
not-necessarily-locally-convex topological vector spaces, basically
because of the existence of the specific not-locally-convex spaces
Lp(I) with 0<p<1.
- [ compact unions of closed are closed,
compact intersections of open are open
]
[ updated 18 Aug '12]
... In topological groups and in topological vector spaces...
- [ smoothing/mollifying
distributions
]
[ updated 13 Mar '13]
... Using smooth approximate identities, arbitrary distributions are
approximated in the weak-*-topology by smooth
functions. Gelfand-Pettis/weak integrals play a central role.
- [ weak duals are not complete
]
[ updated 02 Jan '11]
... Weak duals of reasonable topological vector spaces are not
complete. This has been known since 1950 work of
Grothendieck. Fortunately, quasi- completeness is
sufficient in practice. Sequential completeness is
insufficient.
- [ Distributions supported at 0
]
[ updated 16 Dec '10]
... The primordial result that distributions supported at 0 are finite
linear combinations of Dirac delta and its partial
derivatives. Known long before the notion of distribution was made
explicit.
- [ Levi-Sobolev imbedding to Lipschitz spaces
]
[ updated 23 Nov '10]
Slightly stronger Levi-Sobolev imbedding theorem, not merely addressing
continuous differentiability, but additional Lipschitz conditions on
highest derivatives.
- [ Unbounded operators, Friedrichs
extensions, resolvents
]
[ updated 25 May '14]
- [ Peetre's theorem
]
[ updated 16 Oct '09]
... A linear operator not increasing supports is a differential operator.
- [ Snake lemma, extensions,
Gamma function
]
[ updated 14 Jun '11]
... Simple homological ideas prove unique extendability, illustrated
with homogeneous distributions and Gamma.
- [ Distributions supported on hyperplanes
]
[ updated 10 May '08]
... Proof that distributions supported on hyperplanes are compositions
of transverse differentiations with restriction and then evaluation
against distributions on the hyperplanes.
- [ Heisenberg's uncertainty inequality
]
[ updated 10 May '08]
... Proof of an inequality concerning Fourier transforms that has the
interpretation traditionally ascribed to Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle.
- [ non-locally-convex topological
vector spaces ]
[ updated 10 May '08]
... Proof that ell-p spaces with 0 < p < 1 are not locally convex
- [ Weak smoothness implies
strong smoothness ]
[ updated
21 Nov '06]
... for functions f with values in a quasi-complete locally convex
topological vectorspace V. That is, if the scalar-valued (Lf)(x)
function is smooth for every continuous linear functional L on V, then
the V-valued function f itself is smooth. (The present sense of "weak"
does not directly refer to distributional derivatives.)

distributions ]
[ updated 03 Aug '05]
...on Lie groups, totally disconnected groups, adele groups, etc.
