Théories spectrales, chapter IV, § 1. Opérateurs compacts sur un espace hilbertien

If the endomorphism uNu_N of L2(X)L^2(X) is positive, then N(x,x)⩾0N(x, x)\geqslant 0 for every xx in the support of μ\mu.

Since uNu_N is positive, the families (fi)(f_i) and (gi)(g_i) may be chosen in such a way that fi=gif_i=g_i for all i∈Ii\in I (remark 3 of IV, p. 151). For all x∈X~x\in \widetilde{X}, we then have

N(x,x)=∑i∈Iαi∣fi(x)∣2⩾0 N(x, x) =\sum_{i\in I}\alpha_i|f_i(x)|^2\geqslant 0

Since N is continuous, and μ(X−X~)=0\mu(X-\widetilde{X}) = 0, the function N is positive on the support of μ\mu.

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.
