Abstract

Let H\mathcal{H} be a Krein space with fundamental symmetry JJ. Along this paper, the geometric structure of the set of JJ-normal projections Q\mathcal{Q} is studied. The group of JJ-unitary operators UJ\mathcal{U}_J naturally acts on Q\mathcal{Q}. Each orbit of this action turns out to be an analytic homogeneous space of UJ\mathcal{U}_J, and a connected component of Q\mathcal{Q}. The relationship between Q\mathcal{Q} and the set E\mathcal{E} of JJ-selfadjoint projections is analized: both sets are analytic submanifolds of L(H)L(\mathcal{H}) and there is a natural real analytic submersion from Q\mathcal{Q} onto E\mathcal{E}, namely QQQ#Q\mapsto QQ^\#. The range of a JJ-normal projection is always a pseudo-regular subspace. Then, for a fixed pseudo-regular subspace S\mathcal{S}, it is proved that the set of JJ-normal projections onto S\mathcal{S} is a covering space of the subset of JJ-normal projections onto S\mathcal{S} with fixed regular part.
