  1. Unitary operator

    In functional analysis, a unitary operator is a surjective bounded operator on a Hilbert space that preserves the inner product. Unitary operators are usually taken as operating on a Hilbert space, but the same notion serves to define the concept of isomorphism between Hilbert spaces. A unitary element is a generalization of a unitary operator. In a unital algebra, an element U of the algebra is called a unitary element if U*U = UU* = I, where I is the identity element.

  1. Unitary operator

    In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, a unitary operator is defined as follows: Definition 1. A bounded linear operator U : H → H on a Hilbert space H is called a unitary operator if it satisfies U*U = UU* = I, where U* is the adjoint of U, and I : H → H is the identity operator. The weaker condition U*U = I defines an isometry. The other condition, UU* = I, defines a coisometry. Thus a unitary operator is a bounded linear operator which is both an isometry and a coisometry. An equivalent definition is the following: Definition 2. A bounded linear operator U : H → H on a Hilbert space H is called a unitary operator if: U is surjective, and U preserves the inner product of the Hilbert space, H. In other words, for all vectors x and y in H we have: The following, seemingly weaker, definition is also equivalent: Definition 3. A bounded linear operator U : H → H on a Hilbert space H is called a unitary operator if: the range of U is dense in H, and U preserves the inner product of the Hilbert space, H. In other words, for all vectors x and y in H we have: To see that Definitions 1 & 3 are equivalent, notice that U preserving the inner product implies U is an isometry.
