I think this question isn't that hard, but I am a bit confused.
Define the linear operator $T_k:H\mapsto H$ by \begin{align} T_ku=\sum^\infty_{n=1}\frac{1}{n^3}\langle u,e_n\rangle e_n+k\langle u,z\rangle z, \end{align} where $z=\sqrt{6/\pi^2}\sum^\infty_{n=1}e_n/n$. For negative $k$, show $T_k$ has at most one negative eigenvalue.
