MTH 503: Functional Analysis (4)
Pre-requisites (Desirable): MTH 404: Measure and Integration
Learning Objectives:
Functional analysis is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of spaces of functions. This course is intended to introduce the student to the basic concepts and theorems of functional analysis with special emphasis on Hilbert and Banach Space Theory. This gives the basics for more advanced studies in modern Functional Analysis, in particular in Operator Algebra Theory and Banach Space Theory.
Course Contents:
- Normed Linear spaces, Bounded Linear Operators, Banach Spaces, Finite dimensional spaces, Quotient Spaces
- Hilbert spaces, Riesz Representation Theorem, Orthonormal sets, Bessel's Inequality, Parseval's Identity, Fourier Series
- Dual Spaces, Dual of Lp spaces , Hahn-Banach Extension Theorem, Applications
- Open Mapping Theorem, Closed Graph Theorem, Uniform Boundedness Principle
- Weak and Weak-* topologies, Hahn-Banach Separation Theorem, Alaoglu's Theorem, Reflexivity
