Riesz theory of compact operators

Let be a complex Banach space and a compact operator on . Then , the spectrum of , is countable and has no cluster points except, possibly, . Every is an eigenvalue, and a pole of the resolvent function . Let be the order of the pole . For each , is closed, and this range is constant for . The null space is finite dimensional and constant for . The spectral projection (the Riesz projector, see Riesz decomposition theorem) has non-zero finite-dimensional range, equal to , and its null space is . Finally, .

The respective integers and are called the index and the algebraic multiplicity of the eigenvalue .
