Course Objectives This course is designed to give students an idea of the modern operator theory and its applications. After a short review of some classes of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space, we will consider projection operators and the spectral family. Using the spectral family, spectral representation of self adjoint operators will be obtained. Then we will turn to the theory of unbounded linear operators. Spectral representations of unitary and consequently, not necessarily bounded self adjoint operators will be discussed. Finally, we will consider applications of unbounded operators in Quantum Mechanics and in particular the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The course is aimed at Mathematics students who want to pursue a career in Analysis and its applications.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Know definition and properties of projection operators on a Hilbert space
  • Know the statement and basics about spectral representation of self adjoint operators
  • Know the basics of unbounded operator theory, in particular, know the importance of domain for unbounded operators
  • Could apply theoretical information to concrete problems
Course Content Projection operators and their properties on Hilbert Spaces, Spectral family, Spectral representation of self adjoint operators, Unbounded operators on a Hilbert space, Spectral representation of unitary operators and not necessarily bounded self adjoint operators, applications of unbounded operators in Quantum Mechanics.
