Problem 13.1

(Spectral mapping theorem for polynomials). Prove that for a bounded operator AA in a Banach space and for a polynomial pp the relation σ(p(A))=p(σ(A))\sigma (p(A)) = p(\sigma (A)) holds.

Problem 13.2

Let XX be a Banach space, A∈B(X)A \in \mathcal{B}(X) and ∥A∥∈σ(A)\left\| A\right\| \in \sigma (A). Prove that ∥I+A∥=1+∥A∥\left\| I+A\right\| = 1+\left\| A\right\|.

Problem 13.3

Let AA be a bounded operator in a Banach space XX, and let r(z)=p(z)q(z),z∈Cr(z) = \frac{p(z)}{q(z)}, z \in \mathbb {C}, where pp and qq are polynomials, and suppose q(z)q(z) has no zeros on the spectrum of the operator AA. Prove that for any z∈σ(A)z \in \sigma (A) the relation

σ(r(A))=r(σ(A)) \sigma (r(A)) = r(\sigma (A))

holds (here r(A):=p(A)(q(A))−1r(A): = p(A)(q(A))^{-1}). The next step is to define a holomorphic function ff of the operator AA. Note that in this case the domain of holomorphy of the function ff must contain σ(A)\sigma (A).

Problem 13.4

Prove Theorem 13.1.

Theorem 13.1 (spectral theorem in terms of the holomorphic calculus, N. Dunford, 1943): Let XX be a Banach space, A∈B(X)A \in \mathcal{B}(X), Ur={z∈C:∣z∣<r}U_{r} = \left\{ z \in \mathbb {C}: \left|z\right| < r\right\} (in particular, if r=∞r = \infty, then Ur=CU_{r} = \mathbb {C}). Let ∥A∥<r\left\| A\right\| < r. Then there exists a unique continuous homomorphism φ:A(Ur)→B(X)\varphi : \mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(X) assigning to every holomorphic function f∈A(Ur)f \in \mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) an operator f(A)∈B(X)f(A) \in \mathcal{B}(X) and satisfying properties (1)--(4):

  1. φ(1)=I\varphi (1) = I (here 11 is the function identically equal to one on the disk UrU_{r});

  2. φ(z)=A\varphi (z) = A;

  3. φ(f+g)=φ(f)+φ(g)\varphi (f+g) = \varphi (f)+\varphi (g), φ(fg)=φ(f)∘φ(g)\varphi (f g) = \varphi (f) \circ \varphi (g), f,g∈A(Ur)f, g \in \mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) (the homomorphism conditions);

  4. φ\varphi is a continuous linear operator from A(Ur)\mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) to B(X)\mathcal{B}(X) (that is, if a sequence of functions {fn}1∞\left\{ f_{n}\right\}_{1}^{\infty } from A(Ur)\mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) converges to f∈A(Ur)f \in \mathcal{A}\left(U_{r}\right) uniformly on every compact subset of UrU_{r}, then fn(A)⇉f(A)f_{n}(A) \rightrightarrows f(A) in B(X)\mathcal{B}(X)). This homomorphism satisfies the additional condition: (5) if some bounded operator BB commutes with AA, then it also commutes with every operator f(A)f(A).

Problem 13.5

(Spectral mapping theorem). Let XX be a Banach space, A∈B(X)A \in \mathcal{B}(X). Let f(z)f(z) be a function holomorphic on C\mathbb {C} (an entire function). Prove that σ(f(A))=f(σ(A))\sigma (f(A)) = f(\sigma (A)).

Problem 13.6

Is it true that λ0∈σ(A)\sqrt{\lambda_{0}} \in \sigma (A) (for at least one value of the root)? Is this statement true with σ\sigma replaced by σp,σc\sigma_{\mathrm{p}}, \sigma_{\mathrm{c}} or σr\sigma_{\mathrm{r}}?
