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

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

Anf=1nk=0n1UkfA_{n} f=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} U^{k} f

and consider

X={gUg:gH}X=\{g-U g: g \in H\}

(i) Show that UU is an isometry and An1\left\|A_{n}\right\| \leqslant 1.

(ii) Show that XX is a subspace of HH and Anf0A_{n} f \rightarrow 0 as nn \rightarrow \infty whenever fXf \in X.

(iii) Let VV be the closure of XX. Show that Anv0A_{n} v \rightarrow 0 as nn \rightarrow \infty whenever vVv \in V.

(iv) Show that, if wXw \perp X, then Uw=wU w=w. Deduce that, if wVw \perp V, then Uw=wU w=w.

(v) If fHf \in H show that there is a wHw \in H such that AnfwA_{n} f \rightarrow w as nn \rightarrow \infty.
