Projections onto invariant subspaces #
The projection onto a subspace invariant under a *-closed set of operators commutes
with them (general form, for any subspace admitting an orthogonal projection).
The projection onto a subspace invariant under a *-closed set of operators commutes
with them.
Amplification x ↦ x ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ x on the block space L^ι #
The amplification x ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ x of an operator x on L to L^ι.
Equations
- Orthogonalization.Blocks.ampl ι x = Orthogonalization.FinDim.blockProj fun (x_1 : ι) => x
Instances For
x ↦ ampl ι x ξ, as a linear map.
Equations
- Orthogonalization.Blocks.amplAt ξ = { toFun := fun (x : L →L[ℂ] L) => (Orthogonalization.Blocks.ampl ι x) ξ, map_add' := ⋯, map_smul' := ⋯ }
Instances For
Blocks of an operator on L^ι #
The (k, l) block proj k ∘ X ∘ embed l of an operator X on L^ι.
Equations
Instances For
Coordinate k of X w is ∑ l, X_{kl} (w l).
If X commutes with the amplification of every y ∈ s, its blocks lie in the
centralizer of s.
Conversely, an operator commuting with all the blocks of X has its amplification
commuting with X.
The bicommutant theorem #
The bicommutant theorem, for an arbitrary finite basis b of L.
Bicommutant theorem (membership form): A'' ⊆ A for a unital *-subalgebra A
of B(L), L finite-dimensional.
Bicommutant theorem: A'' = A for a unital *-subalgebra A of B(L), L
finite-dimensional.
Schur's lemma #
A acts irreducibly on L: every A-invariant subspace is trivial.
Equations
Instances For
Every operator on a nontrivial finite-dimensional complex space has an eigenvalue.
The centralizer of a *-subalgebra is closed under star.
Schur's lemma: the commutant of an irreducible *-subalgebra is ℂ·1.
Irreducible *-subalgebras are everything #
An irreducible *-subalgebra of B(L) contains every operator.
An irreducible *-subalgebra of B(L) is all of B(L).
