Note that B can be extended as a bilinear operator from H × H to V
′
and that there exists a constant C
0 such that given u, v ∈ H and w ∈ V we have |〈Bu, v , w〉| + | Bu, w , v
| + | Bw, u , v| ≤ C |u| |v| kwk. 2.7
An easy computation proves that for u, v ∈ H and w ∈ V resp. v, w ∈ H and u ∈ V ,
〈Bu, v , w〉 = − Bu, w , v resp. Bu, v , w = − Bu, w , v .
2.8 Furthermore, B : V
× V → V and B : H × H → H; indeed, for u, v ∈ V resp. u, v ∈ H we have kBu, vk

Finally, since B is bilinear, Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality yields for any α ∈ [0,
1 2

In the GOY shell model, B is defined by 2.5; for any u ∈ V , Au ∈ V
′
we have 〈Bu, u, Au〉 = Re

. Since
µ 6= 1, a1 +
µ

= 0 if and only if
〈Bu, u , Au〉 = 0, ∀u ∈ V. 2.13
On the other hand, in the Sabra shell model, B is defined by 2.6 and one has for u ∈ V ,
〈Bu, u , Au〉 = k

Thus Bu, u, Au = 0 for every u ∈ V if and only if a + bµ

and again µ 6= 1 shows that
2.13 holds true.
