Diagonals of self-adjoint operators with finite spectrum

Abstract

Given a finite set XRX\subseteq\R we characterize the diagonals of self-adjoint operators with spectrum XX. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space analogous to Kadison's theorem for orthogonal projections and the second author's result for operators with three point spectrum.
