How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Invertibility and the inverse of the transpose

Statement

Let K=R or C. Assume DC. A bounded linear T:XY between Banach spaces is bijective if and only if T is bijective. In that case (T)1=(T1). Furthermore, T is a surjective linear isometry if and only if T is a surjective linear isometry.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The spaces, maps, scalar field, and hypotheses in the statement above. All duals consist of linear functionals over the ambient field; evaluation has no conjugation.

[F1]

From Surjectivity is equivalent to a lower bound for the transpose, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. Assume DC. For a bounded linear T:XY between Banach spaces, T is ontoC>0 gY: gCTg.

[F2]

From Bounded below is equivalent to surjectivity of the transpose, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. Assume DC. If T:XY is bounded linear between Banach spaces, then (c>0 xX:Txcx)T:YX is onto.

[F3]

From Transposition reverses composition, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. For bounded linear T:XY, S:YZ between normed spaces, (ST)=TS,IX=IX. For bounded T,U:XY and a,bK, (aT+bU)=aT+bU.

[F4]

From The transpose is bounded with the same norm, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. For a bounded linear T:XY between normed spaces, T:YX is bounded linear and T=T.

[F5]

From Bounded inverse theorem, with its stated hypotheses: Assume DC. A bounded bijective linear map T:XY between Banach spaces has a bounded linear inverse T1:YX.

[F6]

From If (Y) is Banach then (\mathcal B(X,Y)) is Banach, with its stated hypotheses: Let X and Y be normed spaces over the same scalar field. If Y is Banach, then B(X,Y) is Banach for the operator norm.

Proof

1.1

If T is bijective, its inverse is bounded, so T is bounded below. The two dual criteria give surjectivity and bounded-belowness of T, hence its bijectivity.

1.2

If T is bijective, the dual spaces are Banach by the completeness of bounded-operator spaces with scalar target, so bounded inverse applies. Hence T is bounded below, so T is onto; surjectivity of T also makes T bounded below, hence injective.

2.1

For bijective T, put U=T1, which is bounded. Transpose TU=IY and UT=IX to get UT=IY and TU=IX. Thus (T)1=U.

3.1

A bounded bijection A is an isometry exactly when A1 and A11: the two bounds give AxxAx, and the converse follows by taking suprema. Transpose norm equality and step 2.1 transfer these two bounds between T and T. Using inequalities covers the unique bijection between zero spaces, whose operator norms are zero.
