Pairs of projections on a Hilbert space:properties and generalized invertibility
Abstract: This thesis is concerned with the problem of characterizing sums, differences, and products of two projections on a separable Hilbert space. Other objective is characterizing the Moore-Penrose and the Drazin inverse for pairs of operators. We use reasoning similar to one presented in the famous P. Halmos’ two projection theorem: using matrix representation of two orthogonal projection depending on the relations between their ranges and null-spaces gives us simpler form of their matrices and allows us to involve matrix theory in solving problems. We extend research to idempotents, generalized and hypergeneralized projections and their combinations.
