(a) State and prove the Riesz representation theorem for a real Hilbert space .
[You may use that if is a real Hilbert space and is a closed subspace, then
(b) Let be a real Hilbert space and a bounded linear operator. Show that is invertible if and only if both and are bounded below. [Recall that an operator is bounded below if there is such that for all .]
(c) Consider the complex Hilbert space of two-sided sequences,
with norm . Define by . Show that is unitary and find the point spectrum and the approximate point spectrum of .
