I'm interested in estimates on dimension of spectral projection subspaces of some limit operator. I recently asked a related question in the thread Dimension of spectral projection subspaces under strong convergence of operators. I was shown that the answer is no given just strong convergence, but I was wondering whether additional structure might imply what I want.

Let $H_n$ be a sequence of bounded self-adjoint operators on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^2)$. For each $q\in \mathbb{N}$, I can consider $D_q:=\{ -q,...,q \}^2$ and the projection of $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ to functions supported on $D_q$, which I denote by $P_q$. I assume that there exists a sequence of natural $q_n\to \infty$, and there exist matrices $M_n $ such that $ P_{q_n} H_n P_{q_n}=M_n$$ P_{q_{N}} H_n P_{q_{N}}=M_N$ for $n\geq N$(This condition is a later edit). If I assume that there exists some $m$ such that,

$$ \dim \Big(\text{Im}\big(\chi_{(a-\epsilon,a+\epsilon)}(M_n) \big) \Big) \geq m \quad \text{for all} \quad n, $$

does it follow that $\dim \Big(\text{Im}\big(\chi_{[a-\epsilon,a+\epsilon]}(H_\infty) \big) \Big)\geq m $, where $H_\infty$ is the strong operator limit of $H_n$?

I hope that if this is not the case, someone will once again have a clever simple argument why this is not true. My question is motivated by a sequence of operators $H_n= \Delta +V_n$, for diagonal operators $V_n$ that agree around bigger and bigger boxes around the origin and $\Delta$ being the discrete Laplacian. These $V_n$ converge strongly to a limit operator $V_\infty$, which gives us $H_\infty=\Delta+V_\infty$. These sort of operators do not allow counter examples as in my previous question in the other thread.
