Abstract

Let rN{}r \in \mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\} be a fixed number and let Pj(1jr)P_j\,\, (1 \leq j\leq r ) be the projection onto the closed subspace Mj\mathcal{M}_j of H\mathscr{H}. We are interested in studying the sequence Pi1,Pi2,{P1,,Pr}P_{i_1}, P_{i_2}, \ldots \in\{P_1, \ldots, P_r\}. A significant problem is to demonstrate conditions under which the sequence {PinPi2Pi1x}n=1\{P_{i_n}\cdots P_{i_2}P_{i_1}x\}_{n=1}^\infty converges strongly or weakly to PxPx for any xHx\in\mathscr{H}, where PP is the projection onto the intersection M=M1Mr\mathcal{M}=\mathcal{M}_1\cap \ldots \cap \mathcal{M}_r. Several mathematicians have presented their insights on this matter since von Neumann established his result in the case of r=2r=2. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to a question posed by M. Sakai. We present a result concerning random products of countably infinitely many projections (the case r=r=\infty) incorporating the notion of pseudo-periodic function.
