Polar decomposition of bounded operators
i. Overview
For a bounded operator `T` with absolute value `|T|`, `‖T x‖ = ‖|T| x‖`. The resulting isometry from the range of `|T|` onto the range of `T` extends to the closure of that range and gives a partial isometry `U` with `T = U |T|` and `U⋆ T = |T|`.
ii. Key results
- `Polar.polarFactor` : the partial isometry of the polar decomposition.
- `Polar.polarFactor_mul_absOperator` : `T = U |T|`.
- `Polar.star_polarFactor_mul_self` : `U⋆ T = |T|`.
- `Polar.polarFactor_opNorm_le` : the polar factor is a contraction.
