A Hilbert space is a vector space equipped with an inner product operation, which allows lengths and angles to be defined. Furthermore, Hilbert spaces are complete, which means that there are enough limits in the space to allow the techniques of calculus to be used. A Hilbert space is a special case of a Banach space.
It follows that any separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is isometric to the space of square-summable sequences. An example of a separable space that is not second-countable is the Sorgenfrey line S {\displaystyle \mathbb {S} } , the set of real numbers equipped with the lower limit topology .
The space ℓ ∞ is not separable, and therefore has no Schauder basis. Every orthonormal basis in a separable Hilbert space is a Schauder basis. Every countable orthonormal basis is equivalent to the standard unit vector basis in ℓ 2. The Haar system is an example of a basis for L p ([0, 1]), when 1 ≤ p < ∞. [2]
In the mathematical discipline of functional analysis, the concept of a compact operator on Hilbert space is an extension of the concept of a matrix acting on a finite-dimensional vector space; in Hilbert space, compact operators are precisely the closure of finite-rank operators (representable by finite-dimensional matrices) in the topology induced by the operator norm.
The conjecture is true if the Hilbert space is not separable (i.e. if it has an uncountable orthonormal basis). In fact, if x {\displaystyle x} is a non-zero vector in H {\displaystyle H} , the norm closure of the linear orbit [ x ] {\displaystyle [x]} is separable (by construction) and hence a proper subspace and also invariant.
The simplest example of a direct integral are the L 2 spaces associated to a (σ-finite) countably additive measure μ on a measurable space X. Somewhat more generally one can consider a separable Hilbert space H and the space of square-integrable H-valued functions (,).
In quantum mechanics a state space is a separable complex Hilbert space.The dimension of this Hilbert space depends on the system we choose to describe. [1] [2] The different states that could come out of any particular measurement form an orthonormal basis, so any state vector in the state space can be written as a linear combination of these basis vectors.
In mathematics, a Hilbert manifold is a manifold modeled on Hilbert spaces. Thus it is a separable Hausdorff space in which each point has a neighbourhood homeomorphic to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. The concept of a Hilbert manifold provides a possibility of extending the theory of manifolds to infinite-dimensional setting.
