Recall the proof that (7.1b) implies (7.1c) in the Stieltjes moment problem (Theorem 7.1): given a sequence of real numbers satisfying and for all , one lets be the vector space of all finitely nonzero sequences of complex numbers, with the semi-inner product for , in ; lets for in , so that ; lets , shows , and lets be the densely defined symmetric operator induced by on the Hilbert space obtained by completing with respect to the inner product induced by ; uses the conjugation on (which satisfies , so induces a conjugation on satisfying the hypotheses of Proposition 7.2) to produce a self-adjoint extension of ; and takes and , so that for all and for all .
Show that the operator constructed in this way is cyclic.
