Content of the lectures and classes

Lecture 1 - 15.2.2022

Lecture 2 and Classes 1 - 21.2.2017
Continuation of Section V.1 - from Proposition 4(e) till Proposition 6.
Operator (x,y)↦(y,-x) on R2 is unitary and has zero numerical radius; the numerical range of the operator given by the same formula on C2 is the segment connecting i and -i; the numerical range of the operator (x,y)↦(0,x) on C2 is the closed disc centered at 0 with radius 1/2. It follows that the constants in Proposition 4(a) are optimal.
