If and are two families of unitary bases for , and is a fixed number, let and be subspaces of spanned by vectors in and respectively. We study the angle between and as goes to infinity. We show that when and arise in certain arithmetically defined families, the angles between and may either tend to or be bounded away from zero, depending on the behavior of an associated eigenvalue problem.
Let E be an infinite dimensional separable space and for e ∈ E and X a nonempty compact convex subset of E, let qX(e) be the metric antiprojection of e on X. Let n ≥ 2 be an arbitrary integer. It is shown that for a typical (in the sence of the Baire category) compact convex set X ⊂ E the metric antiprojection qX(e) has cardinality at least n for every e in a dense subset of E.
Orthogonality in inner products is a binary relation that can be expressed in many ways without explicit mention to the inner product of the space. Great part of such definitions have also sense in normed linear spaces. This simple observation is at the base of many concepts of orthogonality in these more general structures. Various authors introduced such concepts over the last fifty years, although the origins of some of the most interesting results that can be obtained for these generalized concepts...
