Polar Decomposition and Partial Isometries

In this note I revisit the polar decomposition T=U∣T∣ for bounded (possibly antilinear) operators between Hilbert spaces, emphasizing the role of partial isometries and their initial and final subspaces. The diagram in the snow shows exactly what our polar bear … Continue reading

Monotone convergence for bounded self-adjoint operators

I realized that before the Square Root Lemma post, I should have included a short section. Here is this section. The following Lemma is often being used in the construction of the square root of a self-adjoint positive operator. We … Continue reading
