Ifξr= +1 (respectively −1) for allrthen Eq. ( 227) holds with Π r= Π′
randǫ= +1
(respectively −1). Also, if d= 2 thenL′
ris a rank-1 projector irrespective of the
value ofξr, so Eq. ( 227) holds with Π r=L′
randǫ= +1. The problem therefore
reduces to showing that if d >2 it cannot happen that ξr= +1 for some values
ofrand−1 for others. We will do this by assuming the contrary and deducing a
contradiction.
Letmbe the number of values of rfor whichξr= +1. We are assuming that
mis in the range 1 ≤m≤d2−1. We may also assume, without loss of generality,30
that the labelling is such that ξr= +1 for the first mvalues ofr, and−1 for the
rest. So
