I was wondering about inner product spaces and adjoints. The more I think about this the more I seem to be confusing myself.



I am not sure if given T and S as operators and an inner product space if the following are true:



A) $langle Tx,Txrangle = langle x,T^*Txrangle$ or $langle x,TT^*xrangle$



B) $langle Tx,Txrangle = langle T^*Tx,xrangle$ or $langle TT^*x,xrangle$



Does anything still hold if we have a $y neq x$?



C) $langle Tx,Tyrangle = langle x,T^*Tyrangle$ or $langle x,TT^*yrangle$



D) $langle Tx,Tyrangle = langle T^*Tx,yrangle$ or $langle TT^*x,yrangle$



Does anything still hold if we have a $S neq T$?



E) $langle Tx,Sxrangle = langle x,T^*Sxrangle$ or $langle x,ST^*xrangle$



F) $langle Tx,Sxrangle = langle TS^*x,xrangle$ or $langle S^*Tx,xrangle$



G) $langle Tx,Syrangle = langle x,T^*Syrangle$ or $langle x,ST^*yrangle$



H) $langle Tx,Syrangle = langle TS^*x,yrangle$ or $langle S^*Tx,yrangle$



I am sorry if this is a basic question, I just can't seem to find it in my book.

    Use langle and rangle for the inner product typesetting.

The adjoint $A^*$ of a linear map $A:Uto V$ satisfies (is defined by) the following equation, for all $uin U, , vin V$
$$langle v, Aurangle=langle A^*v, urangle$$
Using symmetry of the inner product (and taking complex conjugates in the complex case), this also means
$$langle Au, vrangle=langle u, A^*vrangle$$
Applying these properly answers each of your questions. E.g. take $A=T, u=x, v=Tx$ for A), B)
