Abstract

Let u be a Hermitian involution, and e an orthogonal projection, acting on the same Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}\). We establish the exact formula, in terms of \(||{eue}||\), for the distance from e to the set of all orthogonal projections q from the algebra generated by e, u, and such that quq = 0.
