Nuances Regarding Naturality

The issue here is that the inverses to $V\rightarrow V^{**}$ and $V^*\otimes V\rightarrow \mathrm{Hom}(V,V)$ don't exist in the infinite dimensional case. So in order to show that they exist one has t …

Projecting a symmetric matrix onto the space of linear operators with a particular eigenvalue

Any (real) symmetric matrix may be diagonalised by an orthogonal matrix. So let your matrix be $A$ and let $O$ be an orthogonal matrix such that $D=OAO^{-1}$ is diagonal. Note that the transformation …
