Abstract: Let $U_2(calH)$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators in the Hilbert space $calH$ which are Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations of the identity 1. In this paper we study the geometry of the unitary orbit ${\displaystyle }${upu^*: uin U_2({cal H})},${\displaystyle }$ of an infinite projection $p$ in $calH$. This orbit coincides with the connected component of $p$ in the Hilbert-Schmidt restricted Grassmannian $G{r}_{res}(p)$ (also known in the literature as the Sato Grassmannian) corresponding to the polarization $calH=p(calH)oplusp(calH{)}^{p}erp$. It is known that the components of $G{r}_{res}(p)$ are differentiable manifolds. Here we give a simple proof of the fact that $G{r}_{res}^0(p)$ is a smooth submanifold of the affine Hilbert space $p+{calB}_2(calH)$, where ${calB}_2(calH)$ denotes the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators of $calH$. We prove that the geodesics of the natural connection, which are of the form $gamma(t)=e^{tz}p{e}^{-tz}$, for $z$ a $p$-codiagonal anti-hermitic element of ${calB}_2(calH)$, have minimal length provided that $|z|lepi/2$. Note that the condition is given in terms of the usual operator norm, a fact which implies that there exist minimal geodesics of arbitrary length. Also we show that any two points $p_1,p_{2}inG{r}_{res}^0(p)$ are joined by a minimal geodesic. If moreover $|p_1-p_2|<1$, the minimal geodesic is unique. Finally, we replace the 2-norm by the $k$-Schatten norm ($k>2$), and prove that the geodesics are also minimal for these norms, up to a critical value of $t$, which is estimated also in terms of the usual operator norm. In the process, minimality results in the $k$-norms are also obtained for the group $U_2(calH)$.
