Content
This course will cover a number of fundamental topics within the area of Functional Analysis. These topics include:
  • Banach spaces: The Hahn-Banach theorem, including its versions as separation theorem, weak and weak* toplogies, the Banach-Alaoglu theorem, fundamental results connected to the Baire Category theory (the open mapping theorem, the closed graph theorem and the Uniform Boundedness Principle), as well as and convexity topics, including the Krein-Milman theorem and the Markov-Kakutani fixed point theorem.
  • Operators on Hilbert spaces, Spectral theorem for self-adjoint compact operators.
  • Fourier transform on R^n and the Plancherel Theorem.
  • Radon measures and the Riesz representation theorem for positive linear functionals.
Learning Outcome

After completing the course, the student will have:
