Abstract
In this and the following chapter, we will discuss the spectrum of a closed operator A. We know that we can form a disjoint decomposition of. The discrete spectrum of A, σd(A), consists of isolated eigenvalues of finite algebraic multiplicity, and σess(A), the essential spectrum of A, is the remaining part of the spectrum. We will study σd(A) in this chapter through the projection operators that can be obtained from the resolvent of A for each distinct eigenvalue in σd(A). We develop the basic theory of these projections, called Riesz projections. These operators provide a powerful tool for the study of the discrete spectrum of closed operators.
