Norm limit of sequence of orthogonal projections on Hilbert space “contractive”












1












$begingroup$


Let $(P_n)_{n in mathbb N} subseteq B(cal H)$ be a sequence of (orthogonal) projections on a (separable) Hilbert space such that $leftVert P_{n}xirightVert rightarrow CleftVert xirightVert $ for every $xi in cal H$, where $C leq 1$. It feels like $C$ should be $1$ since $leftVert P_{n}rightVert =1$ for every $n$, but I don't see how to prove this. Is my guess even right?

          If ${e_n}$ is an orthonormal basis for a Hilbert space and $P_n$ is the projection on the closed subspace spanned by ${e_n,e_{n+1},cdots }$ then $|P_nx| to 0$ for every $x$. So $C$ can be $0$.
