Extract

We recall that a bounded linear operator T in a Hilbert space or finite-dimensional unitary space is said to be normal if T commutes with its adjoint operator T*, i.e. TT* = T*T. Most of the proofs given in the literature for the spectral theorem for normal operators, even in the finite-dimensional case, appeal to the corresponding results for Hermitian or unitary operators.
