Course materials

Lecture notes: 

Access to the lecture notes requires a password (to prevent numerous different and uncomplete versions of the lecture notes from getting indexed by search engines). To get the password you can (i) attend the first lecture or (ii) watch the (publicly available) recording of first lecture or (iii) write an email to Jochen Glück (glueck "at" uni-wuppertal.de).
The lecture notes are updated and completed on the fly. The final version will be uploaded here at the end of the course and will be accessible without password.

Weekly problem sheets:

Contents

Many Banach spaces that occur in applications and concrete examples carry a partial order. For instance, elements of function spaces can be compared componentwise, functions in L^p-spaces can be compared almost everywhere, and self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces can be partially ordered by their spectral properties.

The theory of ordered Banach spaces is a general framework to analyze such order structures. The course starts with a basic introduction to the theory and later toches on recent research topics.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of functional analysis (for instance from an introductory course to functional analysis) is required.

Information for students from Wuppertal:
Knowledge from the course Funktionalanalysis 1 is not required. It suffices if you have attended Grundlagen der Funktionalanalysis.
