Operator Theory

In the second half of 2015, the American Math Society will publish a five volume (total about 3000 pages) set of books that is a graduate analysis text with lots of additional bonus material. Included are hundreds of problems and copious notes which extend the text and provide historical background. Efforts have been made to find simple and elegant proofs and to keeping the writing style clear.

Eigenvalue Perturbation Theory, Operator Basics, Compact Operators, Orthogonal Polynomials, Spectral Theory, Banach Algebras, Unbounded Self-Adjoint Operators.

Selected topics include analytic functional calculus, polar decomposition, Hilbert-Schmidt and Riesz-Schauder theorems, Ringrose structure theorems, trace ideals, trace and determinant, Lidskii’s theorem, index theory for Fredholm operators, OPRL, OPUC, Bochner-Brenke theorem, Chebyshev polnomials, spectral measures, spectral multiplicity theory, trace class perturbations and Krein spectral shift, Gel’fand transform, Gel’fand-Naimark theorems, almost periodic functions, Gel’fand-Raikov and Peter-Weyl theorems, Fourier analysis on LCA groups, Wiener and Ingham tauberian theorems and the prime number theorem, Spectral and Stone’s theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators, von Neumann theory of self-adjoint extensions, quadratic forms, Birman-Krein-Vershik theory of self adjoint extensions, Kato’s inequality, Beurling-Deny theorems, moment problems, Birman-Schwinger principle.
