Abstract

For each adjointable idempotent QQ on a Hilbert CC^*-module HH, a specific projection m(Q)m(Q) called the matched projection of QQ was introduced recently due to the characterization of the minimum value among all the distances from projections to QQ. Inspired by the relationship between m(Q)m(Q) and QQ, another term called the quasi-projection pair (P,Q)(P,Q) was also introduced recently, where PP is a projection on HH satisfying Q=(2PI)Q(2PI)Q^*=(2P-I)Q(2P-I), in which QQ^* is the adjoint operator of the idempotent QQ and II is the identity operator on HH. This paper aims to make systematical characterizations of the semi-harmonious and harmonious quasi-projection pairs on Hilbert CC^*-modules, and meanwhile to provide examples illustrating the non-triviality of the associated characterizations.
