Hwk #1

10.5: 33, 34, 37.

10.6: 38 (a-e), 39.
Due 1/21.


Read chapter 10.
The plan is to cover 10.5-10.7
in the first week.

Jan 19





Hwk #2

quotient spaces
The plan for the week is to cover the Banach-Alaoglu theorem and then 10.7. We will discuss some material on locally convex vector spaces that is not in the book. As is often the case, wikipedia has a nice page on this subject.

Hwk #3

10.7: 48, 49 (a-h).

Feb 2
We'll meet from 1:30-2:45. Hwk #4

10.8: 51, 53.
11.1: 6, 8.
We will be going over 11.1-11.4 this week (though possibly not covering all of it). The topics are measures, sigma-algebras and convergence theorems that are very similar to the ones we have discussed previously for Lebesgue measure. So much of our study will be a review of these concepts with small changes to accomodate the more general setting of an arbitrary measure space.

We'll meet from 1:30-2:45.

I'll be out of town. So there's no class today.

11.2: 12, 13.
11.3: 22.
The plan is to cover 11.2-11.4.



We will start studying the decomposition theorems in 11.5-11.6. These are: the Hahn decomposition theorem, the Jordan decomposition theorem and the Radon-Nykodym theorem.
6 Feb 16
President's Day. No class.

 

We'll meet from 1:30-2:45 Hwk #6

11.5: 30, 31
11.6: 34.
This week, the plan is to finish the decomposition theorems of 11.5-11.6 and begin studying L^p spaces. The material of L^p spaces will involve some review but the proof of the main theorem, the Riesz representation theorem, will be different.



We'll finish up the Radon-Nikodym theorem and start into L^p spaces.

Feb 23

Hwk #7

11.6: 35.
11.7: 42, 45.
12.1: 2.
We'll finish up L^p spaces and begin 12.1, 12.2
After 12.2, the plan is to discuss some applications of Caratheodory's extension theorem. Here are some notes.
