WS 2026/27

Docent: Tanja Eisner

Lectures: Tuesday 15:15-16:45, 17:15-18:45 in SG 3-13

Exercises: Wednesday 09:15-10:45 in P-801

Requirement: Functional Analysis I

Description

The main topics of this course are

  • introduction to spectral theory (general properties of spectrum and resolvent, classification of spectrum, spectrum of isometries, unitaries and self-adjoint operators, Riesz' spectral theory of compact operators, Dunford's functional calculus);
  • weak and weak* topologies (theorems of Banach-Alaoglu and Krein-Milman);
  • spectral theorem for normal operators (multiplicator form).
  • If time allows, we will cover further classical topics from functional analysis and operator theory.

    We will use in particular (but not exclusively) the following literature.
