متن کاملSpherical Conformal Geometry with Geometric Algebra
The study of spheres dates back to the first century in the book Sphaerica of Menelaus. Spherical trigonometry was thoroughly developed in modern form by Euler in his 1782 paper [?]. Spherical geometry in n-dimensions was first studied by Schläfli in his 1852 treatise, which was published posthumously in 1901 [?]. The most important transformation in spherical geometry, Möbius transformation, w...
متن کاملEqualities for orthogonal projectors and their operations
A complex square matrix A is called an orthogonal projector if A2 = A = A∗, where A∗ denotes the conjugate transpose of A. In this paper, we give a comprehensive investigation to matrix expressions consisting of orthogonal projectors and their properties through ranks of matrices. We first collect some well-known rank formulas for orthogonal projectors and their operations, and then establish v...
متن کاملFurther properties of a pair of orthogonal projectors
Representing two orthogonal projectors on a finite dimensional vector spaces (i.e., Hermitian idempotent matrices) as partitioned matrices turns out to be very powerful tool in considering properties of such a pair. The usefulness of this representation is discussed and several new characterizations of a pair of orthogonal projectors are provided, with particular attention paid to the spectral ...
متن کاملOn the distance and the angle of subspaces
Abstract For two given subspaces of C we investigate their distance and angle on the basis of a joint decomposition of the corresponding orthogonal projectors. Further attention is paid to the notions inclinedness, orthogonal incidence and minimal angle. Some formulas for the spectral norm of orthogonal projectors or functions thereof are derived. Also the proofs of results known from Hilbert s...
