Groß, Jürgen; Trenkler, Götz On the product of oblique projectors. (English) Zbl 0929.15016 Linear Multilinear Algebra 44, No. 3, 247-259 (1998). The paper shows that for two projectors (idempotents) \(P_1\) and \(P_2\), idempotency of the product \(P_1P_2\) is equivalent to the coincidence of the range of \(P_1P_2\) and a certain subspace, which only depends on the onto-and along-spaces of \(P_1\) and \(P_2\). Some further investigations are made, and necessary and sufficient conditions for the commutativity of two projectors are given.
