Abstract
Let D be a masa in B(H) where H is a separable Hilbert
space. We find real
numbers η0<η1<η2<...<η6 so that for every
bounded, normal D-bimodule map Φ on B(H),
either ∥Φ∥>η6 or
∥Φ∥=ηk
for some k ∈
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}. When D is totally atomic, these maps are the
idempotent Schur multipliers and we characterise those with
norm ηk for 0 ≦ k ≦ 6. We also show that the Schur
idempotents which keep only the diagonal and superdiagonal of
an n × n matrix, or of an n × (n+1) matrix, both have
norm (2/(n+1))cot(π/(2(n+1))), and we consider the
average norm of a random idempotent Schur multiplier as a function
of dimension. Many of our arguments are framed in the combinatorial
language of bipartite
graphs.
