Criteria for positively quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts

For bounded linear operators on Hilbert space, positive quadratic hyponormality is a property strictly between subnormality and hyponormality and which is of use in exploring the gap between these more familiar properties. Recently several related positively quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts have been constructed. In this note we establish general criteria for the positive quadratic hyponormality of weighted shifts which easily yield the results for these examples and other such weighted shifts.

     

Hyponormality of Toeplitz Operators with Polynomial Symbols: An Extremal Case

If T_φ is a hyponormal Toeplitz operator with polynomial symbol φ = ḡ + f (f, g ∈ H^∞ (𝕋 )) such that g divides f, and if ψ := then where μ is the leading coefficient of ψ and 𝒵(ψ) denotes the set of zeros of ψ. In this paper we present a necessary and sufficient condition for T_φ to be hyponormal when φ enjoys an extremal case in the above inequality, that is, equality holds in the above inequality.     

Properties of mono-weakly hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts

In this paper, we study several properties for mono-weakly hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts. First, we consider propagation phenomena for mono-weakly hyponormal (resp. mono-polynomially hyponormal) 2-variable weighted shifts. Next, we contemplate the mono-weak hyponormality under the Schur product. Finally, we study whether the mono-weak hyponormality is invariant under powers.     

Weyl's theorem holds for algebraically hyponormal operators

In this note it is shown that if is an ``algebraically hyponormal" operator, i.e., is hyponormal for some nonconstant complex polynomial , then for every , Weyl's theorem holds for , where denotes the set of analytic functions on an open neighborhood of .

     

The essential selfcommutator of a subnormal operator

In this paper an easier proof is obtained of Alexandru Aleman's extension of an inequality of Axler and Shapiro for subnormal operators to the essential norm. The method is applied to show that a hyponormal operator whose essential spectrum has area zero must be essentially normal.

     

Jointly hyponormal pairs of commuting subnormal operators need not be jointly subnormal

We construct three different families of commuting pairs of subnormal operators, jointly hyponormal but not admitting commuting normal extensions. Each such family can be used to answer in the negative a 1988 conjecture of R. Curto, P. Muhly and J. Xia. We also obtain a sufficient condition under which joint hyponormality does imply joint subnormality.

     

ON REFLEXIVITY OF HYPONORMAL AND WEIGHTED SHIFT OPERATORS

By an elementary proof, we use a result of Conway and Dudziak to show that if A is a hyponormal operator with spectral radius r(A) such that its spectrum is the closed disc {z:|z| ≤ r(A)} then A is reflexive. Using this result, we give a simple proof of a result of Bercovici, Foias, and Pearcy on reflexivity of shift operators. Also, it is shown that every power of an invertible bilateral weighted shift is reflexive.     

Weakly n-hyponormal Weighted Shifts and Their Examples

The gap between hyponormal and subnormal Hilbert space operators can be studied using the intermediate classes of weakly n-hyponormal and (strongly) n-hyponormal operators. The main examples for these various classes, particularly to distinguish them, have been the weighted shifts. In this paper we first obtain a characterization for a weakly n-hyponormal weighted shift W_α with weight sequence α, from which we extend some known results for quadratically hyponormal (i.e., weakly 2-hyponormal) weighted shifts to weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts. In addition, we discuss some new examples for weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts; one illustrates the differences among the classes of 2-hyponormal, quadratically hyponormal, and positively quadratically hyponormal operators.     

Quadratically Hyponormal Recursively Generated Weighted Shifts Need Not Be Positively Quadratically Hyponormal

We study a class of weighted shifts W _α defined by a recursively generated sequence α ≡ α₀, … , α _m−2, (α _m−1, α _m , α _m+1)^∧ and characterize the difference between quadratic hyponormality and positive quadratic hyponormality. We show that a shift in this class is positively quadratically hyponormal if and only if it is quadratically hyponormal and satisfies a finite number of conditions. Using this characterization, we give a new proof of [12, Theorem 4.6], that is, for m = 2, W _α is quadratically hyponormal if and only if it is positively quadratically hyponormal. Also, we give some new conditions for quadratic hyponormality of recursively generated weighted shift W _α (m ≥ 2). Finally, we give an example to show that for m ≥ 3, a quadratically hyponormal recursively generated weighted shift W _α need not be positively quadratically hyponormal.     

Solution of the quadratically hyponormal completion problem

For , let be a collection of () positive weights. The Quadratically Hyponormal Completion Problem seeks necessary and sufficient conditions on to guarantee the existence of a quadratically hyponormal unilateral weighted shift with as the initial segment of weights. We prove that admits a quadratically hyponormal completion if and only if the self-adjoint matrix

is positive and invertible, where , , , , , and, for notational convenience, . As a particular case, this result shows that a collection of four positive numbers always admits a quadratically hyponormal completion. This provides a new qualitative criterion to distinguish quadratic hyponormality from 2-hyponormality.

     

Quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts and their examples

We discuss some characterizations for the quadratical hyponormal unilateral weighted shiftW with a weight sequence , which give a distinction example for quadratical hyponormality and positively quadratical hyponormality. In addition, we consider a recursively quadratically hyponormal weighted shift with a recursive weight : {ie480-1} which is a back step extension of subnormal completion ofu,v, andw with0, and prove that the recursively weighted shiftW is quadratically hyponormal if and only if it is positively quadratically hyponormal.Research partially supported by KOSEF 971-0102-006-2 and the Basic Science Research Institute Program, Ministry of Education, 1997, BSRI-97-1401.     

Schur product techniques for commuting multivariable weighted shifts

In this paper we study the hyponormality and subnormality of 2-variable weighted shifts using the Schur product techniques in matrices. As applications, we generalize the result in [R. Curto, J. Yoon, Jointly hyponormal pairs of subnormal operators need not be jointly subnormal, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358 (2006) 5135-5159, Theorem 5.2] and give a non-trivial, large class satisfying the Curto-Muhly-Xia conjecture [R. Curto, P. Muhly, J. Xia, Hyponormal pairs of commuting operators, Oper. Theory Adv. Appl. 35 (1988) 1-22] for 2-variable weighted shifts. Further, we give a complete characterization of hyponormality and subnormality in the class of flat, contractive, 2-variable weighted shifts T≡(T₁,T₂) with the condition that the norm of the 0th horizontal 1-variable weighted shift of T is a given constant.     

An asymmetric Putnam-Fuglede theorem for unbounded operators

The intertwining relations between cosubnormal and closed hyponormal (resp. cohyponormal and closed subnormal) operators are studied. In particular, an asymmetric Putnam-Fuglede theorem for unbounded operators is proved.

     

Convergence properties of minimal vectors for normal operators and weighted shifts

We study the behaviour of the sequence of minimal vectors corresponding to certain classes of operators on reflexive spaces, including multiplication operators and bilateral weighted shifts. The results proved are based on explicit formulae for the minimal vectors, and provide extensions of results due to Ansari and Enflo, and also Wiesner. In many cases the convergence of sequences associated with the minimal vectors leads to the construction of hyperinvariant subspaces for cyclic operators.

     

Triangular Toeplitz contractions and Cowen sets for analytic polynomials

Let be the collection of lower triangular Toeplitz matrices and let be the collection of lower triangular Toeplitz contractions. We show that is compact and strictly convex, in the spectral norm, with respect to ; that is, is compact, convex and , where and denote the topological boundary with respect to and the set of extreme points, respectively. As an application, we show that the reduced Cowen set for an analytic polynomial is strictly convex; more precisely, if is an analytic polynomial and if , then is strictly convex. This answers a question of C. Cowen for the case of analytic polynomials.

     

完全非正规Toeplitz算子

In this paper, we show that the hyponormal Toeplitz operator Tφ with trigonometric polynomial symbol φ is either normal or completely non-normal. Moreover, if Tφ is non-normal, then Tφ has a dense set of cyclic vectors. Some general conditions are also considered.     

Hyponormality of trigonometric Toeplitz operators

In this paper we establish a tractable and explicit criterion for the hyponormality of arbitrary trigonometric Toeplitz operators, i.e., Toeplitz operators with trigonometric polynomial symbols . Our criterion involves the zeros of an analytic polynomial induced by the Fourier coefficients of . Moreover the rank of the selfcommutator of is computed from the number of zeros of in the open unit disk and in counting multiplicity.

     

Generalized Cauchy–Hankel matrices and their applications to subnormal operators

It is well‐known that for a general operator T on Hilbert space, if T is subnormal, then is subnormal for all natural numbers . It is also well‐known that if T is hyponormal, then T ² need not be hyponormal. However, for a unilateral weighted shift , the hyponormality of (detected by the condition for all ) does imply the hyponormality of every power . Conversely, we easily see that for a weighted shift is not hyponormal, therefore not subnormal, but is subnormal for all . Hence, it is interesting to note when for some , the subnormality of implies the subnormality of T . In this article, we construct a non trivial large class of weighted shifts such that for some , the subnormality of guarantees the subnormality of . We also prove that there are weighted shifts with non‐constant tail such that hyponormality of a power or powers does not guarantee hyponormality of the original one. Our results have a partial connection to the following two long‐open problems in Operator Theory: (i) characterize the subnormal operators having a square root; (ii) classify all subnormal operators whose square roots are also subnormal. Our results partially depend on new formulas for the determinant of generalized Cauchy–Hankel matrices and on criteria for their positive semi‐definiteness.     

On an elementary operator with M‐hyponormal operator entries

A Hilbert space operator is M‐hyponormal if there exists a positive real number M such that for all . Let be M‐hyponormal and let denote either the generalized derivation or the elementary operator . We prove that if are M‐hyponormal, then satisfies the generalized Weyl's theorem and satisfies the generalized a‐Weyl's theorem for every f that is analytic on a neighborhood of .
