TCC: Spectral and Functional Inequalities and their applications
Ari Laptev
Description of the course:
We shall start with some preliminary material describing basic concepts of self-adjoint operators in Hilbert Space such as compact, bounded and unbounded operators, semi-bounded operators and Friedrichs extensions, variational principle, Birman-Schwinger principle.
