In any infinite dimensional Hilbert space H, a sequence P_n...P_1 x diverges in norm for some x \in H and orthogonal projections P_n \in {Q_1,..., Q_5}.

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that there exist three orthogonal projections $X_1, X_2, X_3$ onto closed subspaces of $H$ such that for every $0\ne z_0\in H$ there exist $k_1, k_2,\dots \in \{1,2,3\}$ so that the…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal P}(H)$ be the associated projective space (the set of rank-one projections). Suppose that $\dim H\ge 3$. We prove the following Wigner-type theorem: if $H$ is finite-dimensional, then…

We provide new conditions under which the alternating projection sequence converges in norm for the convex feasibility problem where a linear subspace with finite codimension $N\geq 2$ and a lattice cone in a Hilbert space are considered.…

We present several operator and norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators. In particular, we prove that if $A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{n}\in {\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$, then…

Given an n-tuple {a_1, ..., a_n} of self-adjoint operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H and a positive integer k, there exists a projection p of rank k such that, for each for j = 1, ..., n, pa_jp is a scalar multiple of p.…

Consider three closed linear subspaces $C_1, C_2,$ and $C_3$ of a Hilbert space $H$ and the orthogonal projections $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ onto them. Halperin showed that a point in $C_1\cap C_2 \cap C_3$ can be found by iteratively projecting…

In this note, for any two orthogonal projection $P,Q$ on a Hilbert space, the characterization of spectrum of anticommutator $PQ+QP$ has been obtained. As a corollary, the norm formula $$\parallel PQ+QP\parallel=\parallel…

We prove that Hilbert space is distortable and, in fact, arbitrarily distortable. This means that for all lambda >1 there exists an equivalent norm |.| on l_2 such that for all infinite dimensional subspaces Y of l_2 there exist x,y in Y…

Given a finite collection $\mathbf{V}:=(V_1,\dots,V_N)$ of closed linear subspaces of a real Hilbert space $H$, let $P_i$ denote the orthogonal projection operator onto $V_i$ and $P_{i,\lambda}:= (1-\lambda)I + \lambda P_i$ denote its…

We introduce novel upper bounds on the Hilbert space dimensions required to realize quantum correlations in Bell scenarios. We start by considering bipartite cases wherein one of the two parties has two settings and two outcomes. Regardless…

In this paper we prove that, for any $n\ge 3$, there exist infinitely many $r\in \N$ and for each of them a smooth, connected curve $C_r$ in $\P^r$ such that $C_r$ lies on exactly $n$ irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme…

In this paper we consider the problem of determining the Hilbert function of schemes X of the proiective space P^n which are the generic union of s lines and one m-multiple point. We completely solve this problem for any s and m when n > 3.…

Let $L_1,L_2,\dots,L_K$ be a family of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space $H$, $L_1\cap \dots \cap L_K =\{0\}$; let $P_k$ be the orthogonal projection onto $L_k$. We consider two types of consecutive projections of an element $x_0\in H$:…

We characterize the sets of norm one vectors $\mathbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k$ in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that there exists a $k$-linear symmetric form attaining its norm at $(\textbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k)$. We prove that in…

The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…

It is proved that the projection constants of two- and three-dimensional spaces are bounded by $4/3$ and $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, respectively. These bounds are attained precisely by the spaces whose unit balls are the regular hexagon and…

We describe the natural geometry of Hilbert schemes of curves in ${\mathbb P}^3$ and, in some cases, in ${\mathbb P}^n$ , $n\geq 4$.

In a Hilbert space, we study the strong convergence of alternating projections between two inconsistent affine subspaces with varying relaxation on one side. New convergence results are obtained by seeing the alternating projections as a…

For the bi-orthogonal polynomials with the third degree polynomial potential functions, the 3 x 3 matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem is explicitly constructed. The developed approach admits an extension to the bi-orthogonal polynomials with…
