Théories spectrales, chapter III, § 6. Propriétés spectrales des endomorphismes des espaces de Banach

Let E and F be Hilbert spaces and let uu be a continuous linear mapping from E into F. The linear mapping uu is compact if and only if the endomorphism ∣u∣|u| of E is compact.

Let (j,∣u∣)(j,|u|) be the polar decomposition of uu (def. 4 of I, p. 140). Since

√ \surd

u=j∣u∣u=j|u| and ∣u∣=u∗u|u|=u^*u (prop. 10 of I, p. 139), the equivalence results from prop. 3 of III, p. 5 and assertion b) of the preceding proposition.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
