Hmmm ... you mean just *any* linear transformation is 
allowed between two Hilbert spaces? Isn't the category 
of f.d. Hilbert spaces a subcategory of the category of 
Banach spaces (with linear maps of bound ≤ 1)?

If so, I'm not so sure my Hilbert spaces are the same as yours :-) .

Cheers, and Happy New Year, -- Fred
