Systems of subspaces in Hilbert space that obey certain conditions, on their pairwise angles (Q2849205)

For a Hilbert space \(H\) and a family of its subspaces \(H_i\,\,(i=1,\dots,n)\), the study of the system of subspaces \(S=(H,H_1,\dots,H_n)\), whose associated orthogonal projections satisfy certain relations is important in mathematical physics. The authors describe subspace systems by a construction of a system of subspaces in a Hilbert space on the basis of its Gram operator. They indeed study systems of subspaces \(H_1,\dots ,H_n\) of a complex Hilbert space \(H\) that satisfy the following conditions: for every index \(i>1\), the angle \(\theta _{1,i}\in (0,\pi /2)\) between \(H_1\) and \(H_i\) is fixed, the projections onto \(H_{2k}\) and \(H_{2k+1}\) commute for \(1\leq k\leq m\) (\(m\) is a fixed nonnegative number satisfying \(m\leq (n-1)/2\)) and all other pairs \(H_i\), \(H_j\) are orthogonal; see the survey by \textit{Yu. S. Samojlenko} and \textit{A. V. Strelets} [Ukr. Mat. Zh. 61, No. 12, 1668--1703 (2009); translation in Ukr. Math. J. 61, No. 12, 1956--1994 (2009; Zbl 1224.46044)].
