Polar subspaces and automatic maximality
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is about certain linear subspaces of Banach SN spaces (that is to say Banach spaces which have a symmetric nonexpansive linear map into their dual spaces). We apply our results to monotone linear subspaces of the product of a Banach space and its dual. In this paper, we establish several new results and also give improved proofs of some known ones in both the general and the special contexts.

On certain maximality principles
We present streamlined proofs of certain maximality principles studied by Hamkins and Woodin. Moreover, we formulate an intermediate maximality principle, which is shown here to be equiconsistent with the existence of a weakly compact cardinal $kappa$ such that $V_{kappa}prec V$.
متن کاملA Note on Null Designs of Dual Polar Spaces
Null designs on the poset of dual polar spaces are considered. A poset of dual polar spaces is the set of isotropic subspaces of a finite vector space equipped with a nondegenerate bilinear form, ordered by inclusion. We show that the minimum number of isotropic subspaces to construct a nonzero null t-design is Qt i=0(1 + q ) for the types BN , DN , whereas for the case of type CN , more isotro...
متن کاملCharacterization of apartments in polar Grassmannians
Buildings of types Cn and Dn are defined by rank n polar spaces. The associated building Grassmannians are polar and half-spin Grassmannians. Apartments in dual polar spaces and half-spin Grassmannians were characterized in [4]. We characterize apartments in all polar Grassmannians consisting of non-maximal singular subspaces. This characterization is a partial case of more general results conc...
متن کاملA Characterization of Half-Dual Polar Graphs
By a graph 0, we shall mean a finite, simple and undirected graph. For x in V (0), the vertex set of 0, let 0i (x) be the set of vertices of 0 at a distance i from x . A distance-regular graph of diameter d is one for which the parameters ci = |0i−1(x) ∩ 01(y)|, ai = |0i (x) ∩ 01(y)| and bi = |0i+1(x) ∩ 01(y)| depend only on the distance i between x and y. It is clear that ai = b0 − bi − ci . T...
متن کاملStability of Polar Decompositions
Certain continuity properties of the factors in generalized polar decompositions of real and complex matrices are studied. A complete characterization is given of those generalized polar decompositions that persist under small perturbations in the matrix and in the scalar product. Connections are made with quadratic matrix equations, and with stability properties of certain invariant subspaces.
