The question is as follows:
Let $T:X \to X$ be a compact linear operator on a normed space. If the $dim X= \infty$ then show that $0 \in \sigma(T)$.
My attempt:
Suppose on the contrary that $0 \notin \sigma(T)$. Then it follows that $0 \in \rho(T)$, the resolvent set. This would imply that $(T-0I)^{-1}$ exists, that is $T$ is invertible.
How can i use the compactness of $T$ to get a contradiction ?
If there exists a continuous linear operator $T^{-1} : X\to X$ then $T$ will be a homeomorphism hence $B=T^{-1} (\overline{T(B)} )$ should be compact but this is impossible. $B$ - denotes the unit ball.
