Numer. Anal. 7 (1970), 1--46] is proved under a general spectral separation condition. This extends the generic sin2\theta\ estimates recently shown by Albeverio and Motovilov in [Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 7 (2013), 1389--1416]. The result is applied to the subspace perturbation problem to obtain a bound on the arcsine of the norm of the difference of the spectral projections associated with isolated components of the spectrum of the unperturbed and perturbed operators, respectively. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.2036v1
