Facts about compact operators

  • Let A : X → Y be a compact linear operator.

Then A is bounded, i.e. A ∈ L(X, Y).

  • Let A ∈ L(X, Y) be compact and B ∈ L(Z, X).

Then AB is compact.

  • Let A ∈ L(X, Y) and B ∈ L(Z, X) be compact.

Then AB is compact.

  • Let A ∈ L(X, Y) be compact.

Then A∗ is compact. X, Y, Z Hilbert spaces.
