The lectures are delivered in Italian. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES To provide some fundamental contents in Functional Analysis and Operator Theory that are considered important for the students who want to follow a PhD, or anyway aim to get a well grounded knowledge in the basic branches of Mathematics. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES This course provides some fundamental contents in Functional Analysis and Operator Theory. Students are expected to understand the concepts and the proofs that have been shown in the classes. In particular, they are expected to be able to provide proofs consisting in simple variants of the proofs that have been shown in the classes, to construct examples and to solve exercises about the topics developed in the course. PREREQUISITES Prerequisites: the contents of the course "IAS 1". TEACHING METHODS Teaching style: lectures (72 hours), given in the mode that will be decided by the University of Genova. Each week, one hour will be devoted to exercises. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Quotient normed spaces; reflexivity; duality of L_p spaces and of spaces of continuous functions; weak topologies; compactness in spaces of continuous functions: the Ascoli-Arzelà theorem; elements of operator theory: spectrum, adjoint operator, compact operators, the spectral theorem for compact selfadjoint operators, unbounded operators, closed operators; elements of spectral theory in Banach algebras; Gelfand theory for commutative Banach algebras; introduction to C*-algebras; the Gelfand representation theorem for commutative C*-algebras.

Exam Board LAURA BURLANDO (President) ANDREA BRUNO CARBONARO ADA ARUFFO (President Substitute) LESSONS LESSONS START The class will start according to the academic calendar. Class schedule ELEMENTS OF ADVANCED ANALYSIS 2 EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Written and oral tests. The written test lasts two hours and consists of two exercises concerning the contents of the syllabus. During the written test, students are allowed to consult the notes they have taken in the classes, as well as textbooks. The oral test can be taken whichever grade the student has got in the written test, and must be taken in the same round of the written test. ASSESSMENT METHODS There will be both a written test and an oral one. Each of them is intended to verify understanding by the student of the concepts and of the proofs developed in the classes, as well as ability in producing proofs consisting of simple variants of the proofs that have been shown in the classes, in constructing examples and in solving exercises concerning the syllabus.
