Question

Show that every bounded linear operator T : H → H on a separable Hilbert space H of dimension at least 2 has a non-trivial closed T-invariant subspace: a closed linear subspace W of H, which is different from H and from {0}, such that T ( W ) ⊂ W. One needs the assumption that the dimension of H is at least 2 because otherwise any subspace would be either H or {0}.
