Spectrum, resolvent, numerical range, functional calculus, operator semigroups. Special classes of operators: compact, Fredholm, dissipative, differential, integral, pseudodifferential, etc.

Strongly convergent series of bounded self-adjoint operators

Hopelessly false. Consider the one-dimensional case (so the $T_j$ are just numbers). Any function $f$ for which $\sum_j T_j$ convergent implies $\sum_j f(T_j)$ convergent is linear in a neighbourhoo …

About the trace class operators and their motivation

You might look at Barry Simon's book "Trace Ideals and Their Applications", especially for applications in mathematical physics.

Multiplicity of eigenvalues of a compact operator and explicit decay rate of the eigenvalues

I doubt that you'll find a very general condition that requires multiplicity $1$, other than those that are essentially restatements of that fact. There will be conditions related to particular forms …

Is there an analog of determinant for linear operators in infinite dimensions as that of fin...

We can define the Fredholm determinant on operators on Hilbert space which differ from the identity by a trace-class operator. This satisfies $$\det(\exp(T)) = \exp(\text{Tr}(T))$$ for trace-class o …

Spectrum of compact operator between different Banach spaces

By "$I$ is well-defined", I presume you mean you have a continuous injection $\iota$ of $X$ into $Y$. If $X$ and $Y$ are not isomorphic it will not be a bijection, because there is no continuous line …

Densely-defined unbounded operators with large support

Perhaps not what you're looking for, but you may be interested in the following result. Let $\cal H$ be a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and $H$ any self-adjoint unbounded linear opera …

Why do we distinguish the continuous spectrum and the residual spectrum?

The most important thing about residual spectrum, I think, is that some classes of operators, e.g. normal operators on Hilbert space, don't have any.

A is a nonnegative matrix; the only principal submatrix having spectral radius above 1 is A ...

Let's assume the matrix $A$ has all its row sums equal to $\lambda$, the largest eigenvalue. We can rescale the rows and columns of any other nonnegative irreducible matrix by a similarity transformat …

Are "most" operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space "diagonalizable"?

Consider the right shift $R([x_1, x_2, \ldots]) = [0, x_1, x_2, \ldots]$ on $\ell^2$. I claim the open ball of radius $1/2$ about $R$ contains no diagonalizable operators. Let $e_1 = [1,0,\ldots]$. …

Simultaneous diagonalization of self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space

Apply the SNAG (Stone-Naimark-Godement-Ambrose) theorem to the unitary group generated by these operators.

When are two operators simultaneously diagonalisable?

Even one positive definite operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space need not have any eigenvectors at all: it might have continuous spectrum. The more general statement is the Spectral Theor …

Domain of Schrödinger operators

What you take as the domain is to some extent a matter of choice. You do want to be able to define $Su$, for $u$ in the domain, as a member of $L^2(\mathbb R)$. The real questions, I think, are whet …

If $A$ is a closed operator, is $A^k$ closed?

Here's a counterexample (subject perhaps to what you consider "natural"). Take a separable Hilbert space with orthonormal basis $\{u_n : n = 1, 2, \ldots\}$ and the operator $A$ defined by $$ A u_n = …

Pointwise convergence of polynomials to a function on a compact set K that is 1 on some disc...

Yes, using Runge's theorem. I'll assume wlog your $D$ is the unit disk $\{z: |z| \le 1\}$. Given positive integer $n$, take $$ K_n = \{z: (|z| \le 1 \ \text{or}\ 1 + 1/n \le |z| \le n)\ \text{and} …

analytic continuation argument

That closed form is $c^{1/2} (2n-1)$ when $c$ is a positive real. These eigenvalues must be analytic as functions of $c$ as long as they don't collide or go off to $\infty$, and they don't as long a …
