Theorem 12.9.8 (Closed Complementation Theorem).label Let $E$ be a complete metric TVS, $\bracsn{0}\ne F \subsetneq E$ be a closed subspace, then the following are equivalent:

  1. (1)

    $F$ admits a closed complementary subspace.

  2. (2)

    There exists $P \in L(E; E)$ such that $P^{2} = P$ and $P(E) = F$.

Proof. (2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Let $G = \ker(P)$, then the mapping

\[E \to F \times G \quad x \mapsto (Px, (1 - P)x)\]

is a toplinaer isomorphism.

(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $G$ be a closed complementary subspace of $E$, so that the mapping

\[T: F \times G \to E \quad (x, y) \mapsto x + y\]

is a continuous, bijective linear map. As $F, G \subset E$ are both closed, they are complete by Proposition 6.7.3, and $E \times F$ is a complete metric TVS by Proposition 6.7.2. By the Open Mapping Theorem, the $T$ is a toplinear isomorphism. As such, $P$ is given by the following composition

\[\xymatrix{ E \ar@{->}[r]^{T^{-1}} & F \times G \ar@{->}[r]^{\pi_1} & F }\]
