(a) Let (en)n=1\left(e_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} be an orthonormal basis of an inner product space XX. Show that for all xXx \in X there is a unique sequence (an)n=1\left(a_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} of scalars such that x=n=1anenx=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n} e_{n}.

Assume now that XX is a Hilbert space and that (fn)n=1\left(f_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} is another orthonormal basis of XX. Prove that there is a unique bounded linear map U:XXU: X \rightarrow X such that U(en)=fnU\left(e_{n}\right)=f_{n} for all nNn \in \mathbb{N}. Prove that this map UU is unitary.

(b) Let 1p<1 \leqslant p<\infty with p2p \neq 2. Show that no subspace of 2\ell_{2} is isomorphic to p\ell_{p}. [Hint: Apply the generalized parallelogram law to suitable vectors.]
