On n-subspaces of Hilbert space

Abstract. The description of the system of  n-subspaces of a linear space  has become a classical problem of linear algebra. In particular, many works are devoted to the study of indecomposable fours of subspaces up to equivalence, representations of posets and other. We consider irreducible systems of  n-subspaces of a Hilbert space  up to unitary equivalence. With every subspace  Hi  one can connect an orthoprojector  Pi  on it and study irreducible n-tuples of orthoprojectors up to unitary equivalence. There is a well known list of all irreducible pairs of orthoprojectors (Halmos, 1965). But the description of irreducible three-tuples of orthoprojectors becomes a *-wild problem. So we add some conditions on subspaces of  H  to describe them.
