REAL ANALYSIS
Preliminaries: The student is expected to be familiar with those topics normally covered in a one-year, senior-level course in analysis. These topics include: real and complex numbers and their properties, properties of the metric space Rn, continuity, differentiability, Riemann integration, Riemann-Stieljes integration, sequences and series of functions.
Set Theory: One-one functions, cardinal numbers, partial order, countability, Zorn's lemma.
Metric Spaces: Open and closed sets, convergent sequences, functions and continuity, semi-continuity, separable spaces, complete spaces, compact spaces, Baire category theorem.
Measure Spaces: Lebesgue outer measure, Borel sets, algebras, measurable sets and non-measurable sets, measure spaces.
Measurable Functions and Integration:Properties, approximation by simple functions, Egoroff's theorem, monotone convergence theorem, convergence in measure, Fatou's lemma, Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, signed measures, Lebesgue differentiation theorem, Hahn decomposition theorem, Radon-Nikodym theorem, Lebesgue decomposition theorem, Fubini's theorem, Tonelli's theorem, Stone-Weierstras theorem, Ascoli-Arzela theorem.
Lp-Spaces: Minkowski and Holder inequalities, Riesz representation theorem.
Banach Spaces: Hahn-Banach theorem, uniform boundedness principle, open mapping theorem, closed graph theorem.
Hilbert Spaces: Geometrical aspects, projection, Riesz-Fischer theorem.
