Symmetric operators: negation and limits #
Two facts about symmetric operators complementing Mathlib's
Mathlib.Analysis.InnerProductSpace.Symmetric:
- the negative of a symmetric linear map is symmetric (
LinearMap.IsSymmetric.neg); - the symmetric bounded operators form a closed subset of
E âL[ð] E(ContinuousLinearMap.isClosed_setOf_isSymmetric), so a limit of symmetric bounded operators is symmetric. No completeness ofEis needed: the conditionâŠT x, yâŦ = âŠx, T yâŦis closed inTfor each pairx, y.
