Idempotent operators.

807 Views Asked by At

Apologies first. I am a physicist and my notations and rigour is probably lousy.

If $P$ is an idempotent operator, $P^2 = P$, $P\neq \mathbb1$ and we have $\forall |\psi\rangle$ the relation,

$P.L |\psi\rangle = L|\psi\rangle$, what conclusions can we draw about $L$, which is a linear operator.

1) $L = P$

Are there anything else? If not how does one prove this? Sorry if this is too trivial.

If $P^2=P$, then the following are equivalent.

$PLx=Lx$ for every $x$.

The range of $L$ is contained in the range of $P$.

If you were talking about a specific vector $x$, then the following are equivalent:

$PLx=Lx$

$Lx$ is in the range of $P$.

Does that answer your question?
