Polar decomposition under perturbations of the scalar product.
A positive operator A and a closed subspace of a Hilbert space ℋ are called compatible if there exists a projector Q onto such that AQ = Q*A. Compatibility is shown to depend on the existence of certain decompositions of ℋ and the ranges of A and . It also depends on a certain angle between A() and the orthogonal of .
