Let HH be a Hilbert space. Show that if VV is a closed subspace of HH then any f∈Hf \in H can be written as f=v+wf=v+w with v∈Vv \in V and w⊥Vw \perp V.

Suppose U:H→HU: H \rightarrow H is unitary (that is to say UU∗=U∗U=IU U^{*}=U^{*} U=I ). Let

Anf=1n∑k=0n−1UkfA_{n} f=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} U^{k} f

and consider

X={g−Ug:g∈H}X=\{g-U g: g \in H\}

(i) Show that UU is an isometry and ∥An∥⩽1\left\|A_{n}\right\| \leqslant 1.

(ii) Show that XX is a subspace of HH and Anf→0A_{n} f \rightarrow 0 as n→∞n \rightarrow \infty whenever f∈Xf \in X.

(iii) Let VV be the closure of XX. Show that Anv→0A_{n} v \rightarrow 0 as n→∞n \rightarrow \infty whenever v∈Vv \in V.

(iv) Show that, if w⊥Xw \perp X, then Uw=wU w=w. Deduce that, if w⊥Vw \perp V, then Uw=wU w=w.

(v) If f∈Hf \in H show that there is a w∈Hw \in H such that Anf→wA_{n} f \rightarrow w as n→∞n \rightarrow \infty.
