Dec 27, 2009 at 23:23 comment added Bkkbrad As much as I love the bold 1 notation, I think I will go with the bold e, since that appears popular in the papers I am citing.

Dec 27, 2009 at 22:26 comment added Greg Kuperberg My feeling is that each of the other notations could mean any number of different things. By contrast, it's hard to avoid the intended meaning of $\vec{1}$ when, in context, there is a distinguished basis.
Dec 27, 2009 at 22:05 comment added Harry Gindi e and bolded e seem acceptable to me. They are good for the following reason: this notion only makes sense in light of a choice of basis and norm, and the notations using the letter e make it clear that this is only with respect to the basis $\{ e_i \}_{i\in I}$
