Shale's Subgroups GL(H)₀, GL(H)₁, GL(H)₂
'Tame', trace-class, and Hilbert–Schmidt perturbations of the identity
For a Hilbert space , Shale defines subgroups of by , where:
- : elementary (finite-rank/finite-dimensional support).
- : trace-class.
- : Hilbert–Schmidt.
Remarks
Key property: is dense in , dense in (in the corresponding norms).
