Spectral Theorem Theorem 1. Let $T \in \mathcal{L}(V)$ where $V$ is a finite-dimensional inner product space over $F$ with the distinct eigenvalues $\lambda_1, \cdots, \lambda_k$. Assume that $T$ is normal if $F = \mathbb{C}$ and that $T$ is hermitian if $F = \mathbb{R}$. For each $i (1 \leq i \leq k)$, let $W_i$ be the eigenspace of $T$ corresponding to the eigenvalue $\lambda_i$, and that $T_i..
