14300 - Spectral Theory of Self-adjoint Operators in Hilbert Spaces Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14300
Module Title:Spectral Theory of Self-adjoint Operators in Hilbert Spaces
  Spektraltheorie selbstadjungierter Operatoren im Hilbertraum
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Hauer, Daniel
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 8
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students have mastered the mathematical fundamentals of linear spectral theory. They are able to determine independently when linear operators have a discrete or continuous spectrum. The students know in detail special classes (e.g. the class of Schrödinger operators) of linear operators, which play an important role in other areas of mathematics and physics. In addition, they have expanded their knowledge of analysis.
