On the Existence of Configurations of Subspaces in a Hilbert Space with Fixed Angles

Abstract

For a class of $*$-algebras, where $*$-algebra $A_{\Gamma,\tau}$ is generated by projections associated with vertices of graph $\Gamma$ and depends on a parameter $\tau$ $(0 < \tau \leq 1)$, we study the sets $\Sigma_\Gamma$ of values of $\tau$ such that the algebras $A_{\Gamma,\tau}$ have nontrivial $*$-representations, by using the theory of spectra of graphs. In other words, we study such values of $\tau$ that the corresponding configurations of subspaces in a Hilbert space exist.
