Counterexample to the Trotter product formula for projections

Functional Analysis 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We constructed a unitary semigroup (etA)t0(e^{tA})_{t \geq 0} on a Hilbert space and an orthogonal projection PP such that the limit limn[etnAP]n\lim_{n \to \infty} [ e^{\frac{t}{n}A}P ]^n does not exist strongly. A similar example with a positive contractive semigroup and positive contractive projection on LpL_p is also constructed.
