Orthogonalization of bases in some classes of nuclear spaces (Q1174002)

The orthogonalization of an arbitrary basis in a Hilbert space leads, as it is well known, to an orthogonal basis. Every unconditional basis in a Hilbert space defines in a natural way a scalar product, with respect to which it will be an orthogonal basis. Therefore any two unconditional bases in this space can be transformed into each other by a subsequent application of a mapping with a matrix triangular with respect to some scalar product. A fact similar to the one mentioned above is true for a space of entire functions on \(\mathbb{C}^ n\), and for a space of infinitely differentiable functions on an \(n\)-torus with the topology of uniform convergence together with all derivatives.The orthogonalization process for bases in metric functional spaces has been earlier investigated by many authors. If in one of the above indicated nuclear spaces a continuous scalar product has been defined and the corresponding Hilbert norm can be estimated from below by an arbitrary standard continuous norm, then the orthogonalization of any basis with respect to this scalar product will be again a basis of the space. Therefore, in the functional nuclear spaces mentioned before any two bases can be transformed into each other by means of a superposition of an isomorphism, defined by some triangular matrix of orthogonalization coefficients, with an isomorphism with an orthogonal matrix with respect to some scalar product. As an application we obtain a result on the quasiequivalence of two arbitrary bases in the indicated spaces, because, as it is well known, two bases connected by mappings with triangular and orthogonal matrices are quasiequivalent. In a Hilbert space the situation is different because there exist conditional Babenko bases. In the present paper two classes \((\overline {RD}_ i)\), \(i=1,2\), of nuclear spaces have been separated, for which we prove the above mentioned facts. These classes include the corresponding Dragilev classes \((d_ i)\), \(i=1,2\), of nuclear spaces with proper bases. Notice that by the way we obtain a proof of the quasiequivalence of all the bases in the spaces of the classes \((\overline {RD}_ i)\), \(i=1,2\), which does not use explicitly the property of being proper for any basis.
