Sergio Albeverio, Alexander K. Motovilov

Let A be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H. Assume that {\sigma} is an isolated component of the spectrum of A, i.e. dist({\sigma},{\Sigma})=d>0 where {\Sigma}=spec(A)\{\sigma}. Suppose that V is a bounded self-adjoint operator on H such that ||V||R^+, that is essentially stronger than the previously known estimates for ||P-Q||. In particular, the bound obtained ensures that ||P-Q||<1 and, thus, that the spectral subspaces Ran(P) and Ran(Q) are in the acute-angle case whenever ||V||View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.0149
