the adjoint of T is operator T* for which

Tv,w=v,Tw\langle Tv,w\rangle=\langle v,T^*w\rangle

T is self-adjoint if T=T*


if 𝑇1 and 𝑇2 are self adjoint operators then:

(𝑇1𝑇2+𝑇2𝑇1)v,w=v,(𝑇1𝑇2+𝑇2𝑇1)w\langle (𝑇_1 𝑇_2 +𝑇_2 𝑇_1)v,w\rangle=\langle v,(𝑇_1 𝑇_2 +𝑇_2 𝑇_1)^*w\rangle


(𝑇1𝑇2+𝑇2𝑇1)=(𝑇1𝑇2)+(𝑇2𝑇1)=T2T1+T1T2=𝑇1𝑇2+𝑇2𝑇1(𝑇_1 𝑇_2 +𝑇_2 𝑇_1)^*=(𝑇_1 𝑇_2)^*+(𝑇_2 𝑇_1)^*=T_2^*T_1^*+T_1^*T_2^*=𝑇_1 𝑇_2 +𝑇_2 𝑇_1


so, 𝑇1𝑇2+𝑇2𝑇1𝑇_1 𝑇_2 +𝑇_2 𝑇_1 is self-adjoint
