Throughout this paper will denote an infinite dimensional, separable complex Hilbert space, and will denote the unit sphere of (i.e. ). Also will represent the algebra of all bounded linear operators on , and will represent the ideal of all compact operators on . Furthermore will denote the set of all (orthogonal) projections on and will denote the sublattice of consisting of all finite rank projections. In most of the cases (especially when limits are involved) will be regarded as a directed set with the usual order relation inherited from .
