A complex number λ ∈ C is called an eigenvalue of T ∈ B(H) if there exists a vector 0 \neq x ∈ H such that Tx = λx


i)

Let λ be an eigenvalue of T and x be the corresponding eigenvector. Then Tx = λx.

λx2=λx,x=λx,x=Tx,x=x,Tx=x,λx=λx2\lambda||x||^ 2 = λ \langle x,x\rangle = \langle λ x,x\rangle = \langle T x,x\rangle = \langle x,Tx\rangle= \langle x, λ x\rangle =\overline{\lambda}||x||^ 2

Since x \neq 0, we have λ = λ\overline{ λ}


ii)

T is positive if Tx0Tx\ge 0

then Tx = λx 0    λ0\ge 0 \implies \lambda \ge 0


iii)

Tx=T1xTx=T^{-1}x

λx=λ1x    λ=1\lambda x=\lambda^{-1} x \implies \lambda=1
