Théories spectrales, chapter IV, § 4. Opérateurs partiels

The partial operator from F into E with domain D∗D^* defined by y↦u∗(y)y\mapsto u^*(y) is called the adjoint of uu. It is denoted by u∗u^*.

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.
