TL;DR
This work constructs a Banach Lie groupoid structure on the set of partial isometries over the restricted Grassmannian Gr_{res}, denoted U_{res} ⇢ Gr_{res}, by coupling the known groupoid on H with a differential framework on Gr_{res} built from local cross-sections. It proves that U_{res} is a transitive, pure Banach Lie groupoid modeled on $L^2$-type spaces and a Banach Lie algebra $U_+$, with smooth maps for source, target, multiplication, inversion, and identity. The construction clarifies that Gr_{res} is not a submanifold of the full Grassmannian, hence U_{res} is not a Banach Lie subgroupoid of U(H); it also discusses generalizations to Gr_{res}^p and the immersed but non-split case when p=0. The results enrich infinite-dimensional differential geometry and may inform integrable systems linked to the Sato Grassmannian and Banach Poisson–Lie structures.
Abstract
The set of partial isometries in a W*-algebra possesses a structure of Banach Lie groupoid. In this paper the differential structure on the set of partial isometries over the restricted Grassmannian is constructed, which makes it into a Banach Lie groupoid.
