§ Bounded Inverse Theorem

created 2023-04-02
  • Theorem: Every bijective bounded linear operator has bounded inverse.
  • Equivaently: Every bijective continuous linear operator has continuous inverse.
  • Proof: quick corollary of open mapping. Let L:X→YL: X \to YL:X→Y be bijective bounded linear operator.
  • Assuming open mapping, we know that TTT maps opens UUUto open sets. Recall that bounded iff continuous. Thus, we can show that T≡L−1:Y→XT \equiv L^{-1} : Y \to XT≡L−1:Y→X is continuous to show that LLL is bounded.
  • We need to show that inverse images of open sets under TTT is open. Specifically that T−1(U⊆X)T^{-1}(U \subseteq X)T−1(U⊆X) is open for UUU open
  • Since V≡L(U)V \equiv L(U)V≡L(U) is open as UUU is open and LLL is an open map, this means that V≡T−1(U)V \equiv T^{-1}(U)V≡T−1(U) is open, as L=T−1L = T^{-1}L=T−1. Hence done.
