Hilbert–Schmidt operators

Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,HSAlgebra,HSEstimate}.lean` and the Cauchy–Schwarz estimates of `TraceClass/TraceProduct.lean`, restated against this repo's `H →L[ℂ] H` (the source's `B(H)`) with no bundled subtype involved — the source's own top-level `TraceClass.lean` already used the identical predicate-based `IsTraceClass`/`traceNorm`/`trace` this repo's `Basic.lean` does, so no translation of the underlying convention was needed, only the notation change and reuse of `Basic.lean`'s own (now-public) `hasSum_norm_sq_inner_basis` in place of the source's private per-file copy of the same lemma.

A bounded operator `S` is **Hilbert–Schmidt** when `∑ᵢ ‖S eᵢ‖²` converges for some (equivalently, by the basis-independence theorem below, every) Hilbert basis `{eᵢ}`. This is the reusable analytic layer between plain boundedness and trace-classness: `S⋆S` is trace class whenever `S` is Hilbert–Schmidt, a bounded contraction on either side preserves the predicate, and a product of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators has an absolutely summable diagonal in every basis (the Cauchy–Schwarz step consumed by the polar-decomposition argument in `GeneralProduct.lean`).

definition

SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator

A bounded linear operator S:H→HS: H \to H on a complex Hilbert space HH is defined to be Hilbert–Schmidt if there exists a Hilbert basis {ei}i∈I\{e_i\}_{i \in I} of HH such that the sum of the squared norms of the images of the basis vectors, ∑i∈I∥S(ei)∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|S(e_i)\|^2, converges.

theorem

∑j∥S∗fj∥2=∑i∥Sei∥2\sum_j \|S^* f_j\|^2 = \sum_i \|S e_i\|^2 for Hilbert bases ei,fje_i, f_j

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a continuous linear operator. Let (ei)i∈w(e_i)_{i \in w} and (fj)j∈w′(f_j)_{j \in w'} be two Hilbert bases of HH. If the series ∑i∈w∥Sei∥2\sum_{i \in w} \|S e_i\|^2 is summable, then the series ∑j∈w′∥S∗fj∥2\sum_{j \in w'} \|S^* f_j\|^2 converges to the same value: ∑j∈w′∥S∗fj∥2=∑i∈w∥Sei∥2,\sum_{j \in w'} \|S^* f_j\|^2 = \sum_{i \in w} \|S e_i\|^2, where S∗S^* denotes the adjoint of SS.

theorem

Summability of ∥Sei∥2\|S e_i\|^2 implies summability of ∥S∗ei∥2\|S^* e_i\|^2

Let HH be a Hilbert space over C\mathbb{C} and S:H→HS: H \to H be a continuous linear operator. If {ei}i∈I\{e_i\}_{i \in I} is a Hilbert basis for HH such that the series ∑i∈I∥Sei∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|S e_i\|^2 is summable, then the series ∑i∈I∥S∗ei∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|S^* e_i\|^2 is also summable, where S∗S^* denotes the adjoint of SS.

theorem

∑j∥Scj∥2=∑i∥Sbi∥2\sum_j \|S c_j\|^2 = \sum_i \|S b_i\|^2 for any Hilbert bases bb and cc

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a continuous linear operator. Suppose {bi}i∈w\{b_i\}_{i \in w} and {cj}j∈w′\{c_j\}_{j \in w'} are two Hilbert bases for HH. If the sum of the squared norms of the images of the first basis under SS converges (i.e., ∑i∈w∥Sbi∥2<∞\sum_{i \in w} \|S b_i\|^2 < \infty), then the sum of the squared norms of the images of the second basis also converges and is equal to the first: ∑j∈w′∥Scj∥2=∑i∈w∥Sbi∥2\sum_{j \in w'} \|S c_j\|^2 = \sum_{i \in w} \|S b_i\|^2

theorem

Summability of ∥Sbi∥2\|S b_i\|^2 for Hilbert–Schmidt operators in any Hilbert basis

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a continuous linear operator. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then for every Hilbert basis {bi}i∈w\{b_i\}_{i \in w} of HH, the series ∑i∈w∥Sbi∥2\sum_{i \in w} \|S b_i\|^2 is summable.

theorem

The Zero Operator is Hilbert–Schmidt

The zero operator 0:H→H0: H \to H on a complex Hilbert space HH is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

Scalar multiples of Hilbert–Schmidt operators are Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a bounded linear operator. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then for any complex scalar c∈Cc \in \mathbb{C}, the scalar multiple cSc S is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

The sum of Hilbert–Schmidt operators is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space. For any two bounded linear operators R,S:H→HR, S: H \to H, if RR and SS are Hilbert–Schmidt operators, then their sum R+SR + S is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

The difference of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let R,S:H→HR, S: H \to H be bounded linear operators. If RR and SS are Hilbert–Schmidt operators (meaning there exists a Hilbert basis {ei}i∈I\{e_i\}_{i \in I} of HH such that the sum of the squared norms ∑i∈I∥R(ei)∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|R(e_i)\|^2 and ∑i∈I∥S(ei)∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|S(e_i)\|^2 converge), then their difference R−SR - S is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

SS is Hilbert–Schmidt implies S∗S^* is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let S:H→HS: H \to H be a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space HH. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then its adjoint S∗S^* is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

Left multiplication by a contraction preserves the Hilbert–Schmidt property

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space. For any bounded linear operators U,S:H→HU, S: H \to H, if ∥U∥≤1\|U\| \leq 1 and SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then the product USU S is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator. (Recall that an operator SS is Hilbert–Schmidt if for some Hilbert basis {ei}i∈I\{e_i\}_{i \in I}, the sum ∑i∈I∥Sei∥2\sum_{i \in I} \|S e_i\|^2 converges.)

theorem

SS is Hilbert–Schmidt and ∥U∥≤1  ⟹  SU\|U\| \leq 1 \implies S U is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space, and let S,U:H→HS, U: H \to H be bounded linear operators. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator and the operator norm of UU satisfies ∥U∥≤1\|U\| \leq 1, then the composition SUS U is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

If SS is Hilbert–Schmidt, then USUS is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space. For any bounded linear operators U,S:H→HU, S: H \to H, if SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then the composition USU S is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

If SS is Hilbert–Schmidt, then SUS U is Hilbert–Schmidt

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let S,U:H→HS, U: H \to H be bounded linear operators. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then their composition SUS U is also a Hilbert–Schmidt operator.

theorem

SS is Hilbert–Schmidt   ⟹  S∗S\implies S^* S is trace-class

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a bounded linear operator. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then the operator S∗SS^* S is a trace-class operator.

theorem

If SS is Hilbert–Schmidt, then SS∗SS^* is trace class

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and S:H→HS: H \to H be a bounded linear operator. If SS is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator, then the operator SS∗SS^* (the product of SS and its adjoint S∗S^*) is a trace-class operator.

theorem

ℓ2\ell^2 Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for infinite sums

Let ww be an index set and let f,g:w→Rf, g: w \to \mathbb{R} be real-valued functions. If ff and gg are non-negative (i.e., f(i)≥0f(i) \ge 0 and g(i)≥0g(i) \ge 0 for all i∈wi \in w) and their squares are summable (∑i∈wf(i)2<∞\sum_{i \in w} f(i)^2 < \infty and ∑i∈wg(i)2<∞\sum_{i \in w} g(i)^2 < \infty), then the sum of their product satisfies the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality: ∑i∈wf(i)g(i)≤∑i∈wf(i)2∑i∈wg(i)2\sum_{i \in w} f(i) g(i) \le \sqrt{\sum_{i \in w} f(i)^2} \sqrt{\sum_{i \in w} g(i)^2}

theorem

The product of non-negative square-summable functions is summable

Let ww be a set and f,g:w→Rf, g: w \to \mathbb{R} be functions. If f(i)≥0f(i) \geq 0 and g(i)≥0g(i) \geq 0 for all i∈wi \in w, and the series ∑i∈wf(i)2\sum_{i \in w} f(i)^2 and ∑i∈wg(i)2\sum_{i \in w} g(i)^2 both converge, then the series ∑i∈wf(i)g(i)\sum_{i \in w} f(i)g(i) also converges.

theorem

∑i∥⟨x,bi⟩∥∥⟨bi,y⟩∥≤∥x∥∥y∥\sum_i \|\langle x, b_i \rangle\| \|\langle b_i, y \rangle\| \leq \|x\| \|y\| for a Hilbert basis

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let {bi}i∈w\{b_i\}_{i \in w} be a Hilbert basis for HH. For any vectors x,y∈Hx, y \in H, the sum of the products of the magnitudes of their coefficients with respect to the basis {bi}\{b_i\} is bounded by the product of their norms: ∑i∈w∥⟨x,bi⟩∥⋅∥⟨bi,y⟩∥≤∥x∥∥y∥,\sum_{i \in w} \|\langle x, b_i \rangle\| \cdot \|\langle b_i, y \rangle\| \leq \|x\| \|y\|, where ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle denotes the complex inner product and ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| denotes the norm.

theorem

The diagonal of the product of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators is summable

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let R,S:H→HR, S: H \to H be two Hilbert–Schmidt operators. For any Hilbert basis {bi}i∈w\{b_i\}_{i \in w} of HH, the diagonal coefficients of the product operator RSRS, given by ⟨bi,(RS)bi⟩\langle b_i, (RS)b_i \rangle, are absolutely summable. That is, the sum ∑i∈w⟨bi,(RS)bi⟩\sum_{i \in w} \langle b_i, (RS)b_i \rangle converges.

theorem

Basis-swap identity for the trace of Hilbert-Schmidt products: ∑i⟨bi,RSbi⟩=∑j⟨cj,SRcj⟩\sum_i \langle b_i, RS b_i \rangle = \sum_j \langle c_j, SR c_j \rangle

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space. Let RR and SS be Hilbert-Schmidt operators on HH. Given any two Hilbert bases {bi}i∈I\{b_i\}_{i \in I} and {cj}j∈J\{c_j\}_{j \in J} of HH, the sum of the diagonal entries of the operator RSRS with respect to the basis {bi}\{b_i\} is equal to the sum of the diagonal entries of the operator SRSR with respect to the basis {cj}\{c_j\}: ∑i∈I⟨bi,(RS)bi⟩=∑j∈J⟨cj,(SR)cj⟩\sum_{i \in I} \langle b_i, (RS)b_i \rangle = \sum_{j \in J} \langle c_j, (SR)c_j \rangle where ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle denotes the complex inner product.

theorem

Right-multiplication by a contraction WW implies ∑i∥(XW)ei∥2≤∑i∥Xei∥2\sum_i \|(X W) e_i\|^2 \le \sum_i \|X e_i\|^2

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space and let X,W:H→HX, W: H \to H be bounded linear operators. Suppose that WW is a contraction, i.e., ∥W∥≤1\|W\| \leq 1, and that XX is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator. For any Hilbert basis {ei}i∈I\{e_i\}_{i \in I} of HH, the sum of the squared norms of the images of the basis vectors under the product operator XWX W is bounded by the corresponding sum for XX: ∑i∈I∥(XW)ei∥2≤∑i∈I∥Xei∥2.\sum_{i \in I} \|(X W) e_i\|^2 \le \sum_{i \in I} \|X e_i\|^2.

theorem

∑i∥(SA)ci∥2≤∥A∥2∑j∥Sbj∥2\sum_i \|(SA) c_i\|^2 \leq \|A\|^2 \sum_j \|S b_j\|^2 for Self-Adjoint Hilbert–Schmidt SS

Let HH be a complex Hilbert space. Let S,A:H→HS, A : H \to H be bounded linear operators such that SS is self-adjoint and Hilbert–Schmidt. For any two Hilbert bases {bj}j∈w\{b_j\}_{j \in w} and {ci}i∈w′\{c_i\}_{i \in w'} of HH, the following inequality holds: ∑i∈w′∥(SA)ci∥2≤∥A∥2∑j∈w∥Sbj∥2\sum_{i \in w'} \|(S A) c_i\|^2 \leq \|A\|^2 \sum_{j \in w} \|S b_j\|^2 where ∥A∥\|A\| denotes the operator norm of AA.
