Abstract

We prove several versions of reverse triangle inequality in Hilbert CC^*-modules. We show that if e1,...,eme_1, ..., e_m are vectors in a Hilbert module X{\mathfrak X} over a CC^*-algebra A{\mathfrak A} with unit 1 such that <ei,ej>=0(1ijm)<e_i,e_j>=0 (1\leq i\neq j \leq m) and ei=1(1im)\|e_i\|=1 (1\leq i\leq m), and also rk,ρkR(1km)r_k,\rho_k\in\Bbb{R} (1\leq k\leq m) and x1,...,xnXx_1, ..., x_n\in {\mathfrak X} satisfy 0rk2xjRe<rkek,xj>,0ρk2xjIm<ρkek,xj>,0\leq r_k^2 \|x_j\|\leq {Re}< r_ke_k,x_j> ,\quad0\leq \rho_k^2 \|x_j\| \leq {Im}< \rho_ke_k,x_j> , then [\sum_{k=1}^m(r_k^2+\rho_k^2)]^{{1/2}}\sum_{j=1}^n \|x_j\|\leq\|\sum_{j=1}^nx_j\|, and the equality holds if and only if \sum_{j=1}^n x_j=\sum_{j=1}^n\|x_j\|\sum_{k=1}^m(r_k+i\rho_k)e_k .
