Outline: The
aim of this course is to outline the so called 5 highlights in
functional analysis. Today functional analysis should be
considered a tool for many aspects of analysis, such as harmonic
and Fourieranalysis, operator algebras, Banach space theory, and
certain aspects of applied math including quantum information theory. The theory has
become decievingly simply and beautiful over time.
At the end of the course we will focus on applications of functional
analysis, or if you whish, linear algebra in infinite dimension. Please inform the lecturer about your preferences.
Organization: The
courses will be live zoom meetings, the link will be sent to you by
email. The zoom meetings will also be recorded, and made
avaialble after a couple of
days.
The
course material will be in the Box folder (please ask for access),
Homework will be submitted to your
folder hw-assignement with your name on
