(a) State and prove the Riesz representation theorem for a real Hilbert space HH.

[You may use that if HH is a real Hilbert space and Y⊂HY \subset H is a closed subspace, then H=Y⊕Y.⊥.]\left.H=Y \oplus Y_{.}^{\perp} .\right]

(b) Let HH be a real Hilbert space and T:H→HT: H \rightarrow H a bounded linear operator. Show that TT is invertible if and only if both TT and T∗T^{*} are bounded below. [Recall that an operator S:H→HS: H \rightarrow H is bounded below if there is c>0c>0 such that ∥Sx∥⩾c∥x∥\|S x\| \geqslant c\|x\| for all x∈Hx \in H.]

(c) Consider the complex Hilbert space of two-sided sequences,

X={(xn)n∈Z:xn∈C,∑n∈Z∣xn∣2<∞}X=\left\{\left(x_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}: x_{n} \in \mathbb{C}, \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}\left|x_{n}\right|^{2}<\infty\right\}

with norm ∥x∥=(∑n∣xn∣2)1/2\|x\|=\left(\sum_{n}\left|x_{n}\right|^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}. Define T:X→XT: X \rightarrow X by (Tx)n=xn+1(T x)_{n}=x_{n+1}. Show that TT is unitary and find the point spectrum and the approximate point spectrum of TT.
