View on Github →feat(analysis/inner_product_space): define orthogonal_family
of subspaces (#9718)
Define orthogonal_family
on V : ι → submodule 𝕜 E
to mean that any two vectors from distinct subspaces are orthogonal. Prove that an orthogonal family of subspaces is complete_lattice.independent
.
Also prove that in finite dimension an orthogonal family V
satisifies direct_sum.submodule_is_internal
(i.e., it provides an internal direct sum decomposition of E
) if and only if their joint orthogonal complement is trivial, (supr V)ᗮ = ⊥
, and that in this case, the identification of E
with the direct sum of V
is an isometry.
