Théories spectrales, chapter IV, § 5. Opérateurs partiels normaux et théorème spectral

Let uu be a closed operator with dense domain from E into a complex Hilbert space F. The pair (j,∣u∣)(j,|u|) determined by Prop. 12 is called the polar decomposition of uu.

Suppose that u∈L(E;F)u\in \mathscr{L}(E; F). Its polar decomposition in the sense of this definition coincides with that of Definition 4 of I, p. 140.

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.
