A \(\sin 2\varTheta\) theorem for graded indefinite Hermitian matrices (Q1864977): Difference between revisions

The study concerns the double angle theorems that bound the change in an invariant subspace of an indefinite Hermitian matrix in the graded form \(H=D^*AD\) subject to a perturbation \(H\to\widetilde H=D^* (A+\Delta A)D\). These theorems extend a \(\sin 2\theta\) theorem for positive definite Hermitian matrices [Linear Algebra Appl. 311, 45-60 (2000; Zbl 0963.15017)] to indefinite graded Hermitian matrices. The bounds here are more complicated since they depend also on norms of some \(J\)-unitary matrices. Bounds on these \(J\)-unitary matrices are computed.
