Vector space/K/Finite-dimensional/Normal endomorphism/Eigenvalues/Fact

From Wikiversity

Let V be a finite-dimensional 𝕂-vector space, endowed with an inner product ,. Let

φ:VV

denote a normal endomorphism. Then the following statements hold.

  1. λ𝕂 is an eigenvalue of φ if and only if λ is an eigenvalue of φ̂.
  2. A vector vV is an eigenvector of the eigenvalue λ if and only if v is an eigenvector of φ̂ of the eigenvalueλ.
