A reference to a characterization of metric spaces admitting an isometric embedding into a Hilbert space

I am looking for a reference to the bipartite version of the Schoenberg's criterion of embeddability into a Hilbert space. The Schoenberg criterion is formulated as Proposition 8.5(ii) of the book &...

Density of smooth function in Hilbert spaces

I am looking for a simple reference to the following fact: If $f:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is continuous, where $\Omega\subset H$ is an open subset of a separable Hilbert space $H$, then for any $\...

Error estimate in the spectral theorem of compact operators on a Hilbert space

Given a compact self-adjoint operator $K$ mapping $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d) \rightarrow L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ as $f \rightarrow \int K(x,y) f(y) d\mu(y)$, let us define its eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ and eigen-...

Set of invertible operators in B(H) is connected. Is it true? Is there a reference?

Suppose $H$ is a Hilbert space, $B(H)$ is the algebra of bounded linear operators on it, $K(H)$ is ideal of compact operators in $B(H)$, $Inv(B(H)/K(H))$ is the topological group of invertible ...

Properties of Sobolev spaces $W^{k,p}(\Omega, E)$ where $E$ is a Banach space

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$Let $E$ be a Banach space with norm $\|\cdot\|_E$ and let $\Omega\subset \R^n$ be an open set. For $k\geq 0, p\geq 1$ we define $W^{k,p}(\Omega, E)$, the Sobolev space of ...
