Counterexamples in Operator Theory
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-97816-7 (ISBN)
The first half of the book focuses on bounded linear operators, including counterexamples in the areas of operator topologies, matrices of bounded operators, square roots, the spectrum, operator exponentials, and non-normal operators. The second part of the book is devoted to unbounded linear operators in areas such as closedness and closability, self-adjointness, normality, commutativity, and the spectrum, concluding with a chapter that features some open problems. Chapters begin with a brief "Basics" section for the readers' reference, andmany of the counterexamples included are the author's original work.
Counterexamples in Operator Theory can be used by students in graduate courses on operator theory and advanced matrix theory. Previous coursework in advanced linear algebra, operator theory, and functional analysis is assumed. Researchers, quantum physicists, and undergraduate students studying functional analysis and operator theory will also find this book to be a useful reference.
Mohammed Hichem Mortad's primary research interest is operator theory. He received his Ph.D. in mathematical analysis from the University of Edinburgh in 2003.

"The book ... offers a wide range of examples and counterexamples in the theory of linear operators acting on Hilbert spaces. ... The books thus covers a broad range of largely classical topics in operator theory ... . The book is most likely ... a reference work for its intended audience of advanced students and researchers in operator theory, as well as, no doubt, those setting exam questions on the subject." (David Seifert, zbMATH 1512.47002, 2023)
