Math 212b Lecture 1Review: The spectral theorem for unbounded operators
via Gelfand.

For the first month of this semester I want to concentrate on the spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators and on applications of this theorem. We proved this theorem last semester via the Gelfand transform, and I will review the ingredients of this proof in today’s lecture. I plan to give two more proofs of the spectral theorem and outline a fourth proof. We will study the meaning of the point spectrum (the eigenvalues) and the continuous spectrum, Stone’s theorem, applications of the spectral theorem to some classical partial differential equations, the Rayleigh-Ritz principle for the discrete spectrum, some abstract scattering theory, and the Stone - von Neumann theorem about the canonical commutation relations of quantum mechanics.

We proved this formula by a “real variables proof” via the Gelfand transform. Our second proof of the spectral theorem, due to Lorch, will be via a complex variables interpretation and proof of Stone’s formula.
