I have two questions:
1. Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space. Show that if U: V--->V is self-adjoint and T: V---->V is positive definite, then UT and TU are diagonalizable operators with only real eigenvalues.
2. Suppose T and U are normal operators on a finite dimensional complex inner product space V such that TU = UT
a) Show that UT* = T*U
b) show that there is an orthonormal basis for V consisting of vectors that are eigenvectors for both T and U
