Normal operators in real and quaternionic Hilbert spaces

Functional Analysis 2025-07-28 v3

Abstract

A new approach to normal operators in real Hilbert spaces is discussed, and a spectral representation is obtained, derived directly from the complex case. The results are then applied to quaternionic normal operators, regarded as a special class of real normal operators. This point of view allows us to consider their spectrum and associated measures to be defined on subsets of the complex plane, in a classical manner.
