Problem 20.7

Pick any orthonormal basis (ek)k⩾1\left(e_{k}\right)_{k \geqslant 1} of HH. Let α∈N0(∞)\alpha \in \mathbb {N}_{0}^{(\infty )}, i.e. α=(α1,…,αN,0,0,…)\alpha = \left(\alpha_{1}, \ldots , \alpha_{N}, 0,0, \ldots \right) where N∈NN \in \mathbb {N} and α1,…,αN∈N0\alpha_{1}, \ldots , \alpha_{N} \in \mathbb {N}_{0}, and define eα:=⨂kek⊗αke_{\alpha }: = \bigotimes_{k} e_{k}^{\otimes \alpha_{k}}, i.e.
