Certain properties of orthogonal projections (Q2666389): Difference between revisions

Let \(P\), \(Q\) be projections on a Hilbert space. The pair \((P,Q)\) is Fredholm if the operator \(PQ|_{R(Q)}:R(Q)\to R(P)\) is Fredholm (here \(R(P)\) denotes the range of \(P\)). For a fixed projection \(P\), the authors discuss properties of the set of projections \(Q\) such that (a) \(P-Q\) is compact, (b) \((P,Q)\) is Fredholm, and some similar sets.
