Abstract: We study the set $calC$ consisting of pairs of orthogonal projections $P,Q$ acting in a Hilbert space $calH$ such that $PQ$ is a compact operator. These pairs have a rich geometric structure which we describe here. They are parted in three subclasses: ${calC}_0$ which consists of pairs where $P$ or $Q$ have finite rank, ${calC}_1$ of pairs such that $Q$ lies in the restricted Grassmannian (also called Sato Grassmannian) of the polarization $calH=N(P)oplusR(P)$, and ${calC}_{i}nfty$. Belonging to this last subclass one has the pairs ${\displaystyle }$ P_If=chi_If , Q_Jf= left(chi_J hat{f} ight)check{ } , fin L^2(mathbb{R}^n), ${\displaystyle }$ where $I,Jsubsetmathbb{R}^n$ are sets of finite Lebesgue measure, $ch{i}_I,ch{i}_J$ denote the corresponding characteristic functions and $hat,check$ denote the Fourier-Plancherel transform $L^2(mathbb{R}^2)o{L}^2(mathbb{R}^2)$ and its inverse. We characterize the connected components of these classes: the components of ${calC}_0$ are parametrized by the rank, the components of ${calC}_1$ are parametrized by the Fredholm index of the pairs, and ${calC}_{i}nfty$ is connected. We show that these subsets are (non complemented) differentiable submanifolds of $calB(calH)imescalB(calH)$.
