Normal operator in Hilbert Complex space share an eigenvalue.












0














Everyone, I get stuck in an exercise of Functional Analysis.



Let $T in B(H)$ (H a complex Hilbert space) and $T^*$ adjoint of $T$. Supose $T$ is a normal operator.



1) Prove that $Ker(T)= Ker(T^*) = R(T)^perp$ - I've finished this.



2) Using previous proof. If $alpha$ is an eigenvalue of $T$ then the conjugate $baralpha$ is an eigenvalue of $T^*$.



3) If $alpha neq beta $ are eigenvectors of T, then the associated eigenspaces are orthogonal between them.



My try:



2) Let $x in H$ such that $Tx = alpha x $.



$$<x,Tx> = <T^*x,x> = alpha<x,x> = <baralpha x,x>$$



Then we have that



$$<T^*x - bar alpha x,x>=0$$



Here I don't know if above implies that $T^*x - bar alpha x =0$.



3) I didn't make a great progress here.

    Use T^* to get $T^*$. Your notation without the * in the exponent can be confusing.

For part 2, using the proof of part 1 (that $langle Tx, Txrangle = langle T^*x, T^*x rangle$), we see$$||T^*x-overline{alpha}x||^2 = langle T^*x-overline{alpha}x, T^*x-overline{alpha}xrangle = langle T^*x, T^*xrangle - langle overline{alpha}x, T^*xrangle - langle T^*x, overline{alpha}xrangle+langle overline{alpha} x, overline{alpha} xrangle$$ $$ = langle Tx, Tx rangle-langle Tx, alpha xrangle-langle alpha x, Txrangle + langle alpha x, alpha xrangle = 0.$$



For part 3, if $Tx = alpha x, Ty = beta y$, then $$alphalangle x,y rangle = langle Tx,y rangle = langle x,T^*y rangle = langle x, overline{beta} y rangle = beta langle x,y rangle$$ implies $langle x,y rangle = 0$. This means that the eigenspaces are orthogonal.

$T$ is normal means $T^*T=TT^*$, which is equivalent to
$$
|Tx| = |T^*x|,;;; xin H.
$$

So $mathcal{N}(T)=mathcal{N}(T^*)$ follows. The sum of normal operators is normal, and any scalar times a normal operator is normal. And the identity $I$ is normal. So, if $T$ is normal, then so is $alpha I-T$ for any scalar $alpha$. Therefore $mathcal{N}(T-alpha I)=mathcal{N}(T^*-overline{alpha}I)$, and any eigenvector of a normal $T$ with eigenvalue $alpha$ is an eigenvector of $T^*$ with eigenvalue $overline{alpha}$. If $Tx=alpha x$ and $Ty=beta y$, then



begin{align}
(alpha-beta)langle x,yrangle
& = langle alpha x,yrangle-langle x,overline{beta}yrangle \
& = langle Tx,yrangle-langle x,T^*yrangle \
& = langle Tx,yrangle-langle Tx,yrangle =0.
end{align}

Therefore, if $alphane beta$, it follows that $xperp y$.

    So $mathcal{N}(T)=mathcal{N}(T^*)$ follows. The sum of normal operators is normal, and any scalar times a normal operator is normal. And the identity $I$ is normal. So, if $T$ is normal, then so is $alpha I-T$ for any scalar $alpha$. Therefore $mathcal{N}(T-alpha I)=mathcal{N}(T^*-overline{alpha}I)$, and any eigenvector of a normal $T$ with eigenvalue $alpha$ is an eigenvector of $T^*$ with eigenvalue $overline{alpha}$. If $Tx=alpha x$ and $Ty=beta y$, then
