A Geometric Characterization of Nonnegative Bands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
A band is a semigroup of idempotent operators. A nonnegative band $\mathcal{S}$ in $B({{L}^{2}}(X))$ having at least one element of finite rank and with rank $(S)\,>\,1$ for all $S$ in $\mathcal{S}$ is known to have a special kind of common invariant subspace which is termed a standard subspace (defined below).
Such bands are called decomposable. Decomposability has helped to understand the structure of nonnegative bands with constant finite rank. In this paper, a geometric characterization of maximal, rank-one, indecomposable nonnegative bands is obtained which facilitates the understanding of their geometric structure.
