Jordan Plane and Numerical Range of Operators Involving Two Projections

Publication date 26 November 2018

Abstract: We use principal angles between two subspaces to define Jordan planes. Jordan planes provide an optimal way to decompose

m a t h b b C^{n}

in relation to given two subspaces. We apply Jordan planes to show that two pairs of of subspaces

(M, N)

and

(M^{p e r p}, N^{p e r p})

are unitarily equivalent if

M

and

N

are subspaces of

m a t h b b C^{n}

in generic position. We compute numerical ranges of sum and product of two orthogonal projections by using Jordan planes.
