Self Adjoint Operators On Hilbert Space
Hilbert spaces are Banach spaces, so the above discussion applies to bounded operators on Hilbert spaces as well, although possible differences may arise from the adjoint operation on operators. For example, let H be a Hilbert space and T ∈ L(H), σ(T*) is not σ(T) but rather its image under complex conjugation.
For a self adjoint T ∈ L(H), the Borel functional calculus gives additional ways to break up the spectrum naturally.

Famous quotes containing the word space:
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
