We prove that the distance from an $n\times n$ complex matrix $M$ to the set of nilpotents is at least $\frac{1}{2}\sec\frac{\pi}{n+2}$ if there is a nonzero projection $P$ such that $PMP=M$ and $M^*M\geq P$. In the particular case where…

In this note, we study the distance from an arbitrary nonzero projection $P$ to the set of nilpotents in a factor $\mathcal{M}$ equipped with a normal faithful tracial state $\tau$. We prove that the distance equals $(2\cos…

For every idempotent $Q$ on a Hilbert space $H$, the matched projection $m(Q)$ is a well-established concept. This paper explores several applications of the matched projections. The first application addresses the distances from…

Consider $n$ $d$-dimensional vectors with iid entries from a lattice distribution $X$. We show that the probability that all distances between them are equal is asymptotically \[ C_n\cdot\frac{1}{d^{(m-1)/2}} \quad \text{for} \quad d \to…

It is shown that the relative distance in Frobenius norm of a real symmetric order-$d$ tensor of rank two to its best rank-one approximation is upper bounded by $\sqrt{1-(1-1/d)^{d-1}}$. This is achieved by determining the minimal possible…

The aim of this paper is to give new characterizations of some fundamental issues about idempotents. In the general setting of adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules, a new term of quasi-projection pair is introduced. For each…

Let $M^n\ (n\geq3)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\sec_M\geq 1$, and let $M_i^{n_i}$ ($i=1,2$) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in $M$. We prove that if $n_1+n_2=n-2$ and if the distance $|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$,…

We establish Marstrand-type as well as Besicovich-Federer-type projection theorems for closest-point projections onto hyperplanes in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In particular, we prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is…

We obtain an order sharp estimate for the distance from a given bounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space to the set of normal operators in terms of $\|[A,A^*]\|$ and the distance to the set of invertible operators. A slightly modified…

We study the variety of n by n matrices with commutator of rank at most one. We describe its irreducible components; two of them correspond to the pairs of commuting matrices, and n-2 components of smaller dimension corresponding to the…

The complex projective space $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ can be interpreted as the space of all quantum pure states of size $n$. A distance on this space, interesting from the perspective of quantum physics, can be induced from a classical…

We show that the inequality $$ \|D^{k-1}(u-\pi u)\|_{\mathrm{L}^{n/(n-1)}(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq c\|\mathbb{B}(D) u\|_{\mathrm{L}^1(\mathbb{R}^n)} $$ holds for vector fields $u\in\mathrm{C}^\infty_c$ if and only if $\mathbb{B}$ is canceling.…

We prove inequalities relating the absolute value of the determinant of n+1 linearly independent unit vectors in an n+1 dimensional complex vector space and the projective distances from the vertices to the hyperplanes containing the…

Let u be a hermitian involution, and e an orthogonal projection, acting on the same Hilbert space. We establish the exact formula, in terms of the norm of eue, for the distance from e to the set of all orthogonal projections q from the…

We consider subsemimodules and convex subsets of semimodules over semirings with an idempotent addition. We introduce a nonlinear projection on subsemimodules: the projection of a point is the maximal approximation from below of the point…

For $q\in(0,1),$ let $B_q$ denote the limit $q$-Bernstein operator. In this paper, the distance between $B_q$ and $B_r$ for distinct $q$ and $r$ in the operator norm on $C[0,1]$ is estimated, and it is proved that $1\leqslant…

We determine the distance (up to a multiplicative constant) in the Zygmund class $\Lambda_{\ast}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to the subspace $\mathrm{J}(\mathbf{bmo})(\mathbb{R}^n).$ The latter space is the image under the Bessel potential $J :=…

We propose an efficient approach for the grouping of local orientations (points on vessels) via nilpotent approximations of sub-Riemannian distances in the 2D and 3D roto-translation groups $SE(2)$ and $SE(3)$. In our distance…

A near-identity nilpotent pseudogroup of order m >= 1 is a family f_1, ..., f_n: (-1,1) -> R of C^2 functions for which: |f_i - id|_{C^1} < epsilon for some small positive real number epsilon < 1/10^{m+1} and commutators of the functions…

Tom Leinster gave a bijective correspondence between the set of operators on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ and the set of pairs consisting of a nilpotent operator and a vector in $V$. Over a finite field this bijection implies that…
