Analytic bundle structure on the idempotent manifold
Abstract
Let be a (real or complex) Banach space, and be the set of all (non-zero and non-identity) idempotents; i.e., bounded linear operators on whose squares equal themselves. We show that the Banach submanifold of is a locally trivial analytic affine-Banach bundle over the Grassmann manifold , via the map that sends to , such that the affine-Banach space structure on each fiber is the one induced from (in particular, every fiber is an affine-Banach subspace of ). Using this, we show that if is a real Hilbert space, then the assignment induces a bi-analytic bijection from the total space of the tangent bundle, , of onto (here, is the orthogonal complement of , is the orthogonal projection onto , and is the adjoint of ). Notice that this bi-analytic bijection is an affine map on each tangent plane.

Any comment is welcome, especially information on whether the representation results of the tangent bundle of the Grassmannian in Theorem 2 is known in the finite dimensional case
