14.That the pole of the resolvent is simple at a simple zero of the Fredholm determinant follows immediately from the Fredholm construction. That there is no degeneracy if the determinant has a simple zero follows from the theorem of the Appendix.

15.The ascent of an operator A is the smallest integer s such that the nullspaces of and are equal. Since is compact, the ascent of is finite; see, for example, A. E. Taylor, Introduction to Functional Analysis (Wiley, New York, 1958), p. 279. For a demonstration that the ascent of equals the order of the pole of the resolvent at see, for example, Ref. 3, p. 208.

17.The resolvent may be decomposed according to the decomposition of into a direct sum of the eigenspaces of the angular part of the Laplacean. Thus , where are projections whose kernels are .

18.This theorem is well known for finite‐dimensional matrices; for Hilbert‐Schmidt operators it does not seem to appear in the literature.

19.“Tr” denotes the trace of the operator. A projection (not necessarily orthogonal) of finite‐dimensional range is in the trace class and its trace equals the dimensionality of its range.
20.
20.The proof of (A12) from (A11) follows from the fact that if K is in the trace class, then Equation (A12) therefore holds for K in the trace class, with both sides defined as absolutely convergent power series in γ. Since neither side contains TrK and (A12) is an identity of the two power series whose convergence is assured if K is a Hilbert‐Schmidt operator, it must hold also if TrK does not exist.
21.
21.The intersection of the range of with the nullspace of L equals the image under of the complement of the nullspace of relative to the nullspace of Since the range of is a non‐increasing function of m, the nullspace of must be strictly increasing until the nullspaces of and of are equal. From then on they must remain equal as m increases.
