Algebraic extensions of semi-hyponormal operators

In this paper, we show that algebraic extensions of semi-hyponormal operators (defined below) are subscalar. As corollaries we get the following:

Local Spectral Theory of Linear Operators RS and SR

In this paper, we study the relation between local spectral properties of the linear operators RS and SR. We show that RS and SR share the same local spectral properties SVEP, (β), (δ) and decomposability. We also show that RS is subscalar if and only if SR is subscalar. We recapture some known results on spectral properties of Aluthge transforms.     

Common properties of operatorsRS andSR andp-hyponormal operators

LetR andS be bounded linear operators on a Bananch space. We discuss the spectral and subdecomposable properties and properties concerning invariant subspaces common toRS andSR. We prove that, by these properties,p-hyponormal and log-hyponormal operators and their generalized Aluthge transformations are all subdecomposable operators;T andT(r, 1–r)(0<r<1) have same spectral structure and equal spectral parts ifT denotesp-hyponormal or dominant operator; for everyT L(H), 0<r<1,T has nontrivial (hyper-)invariant subspace ifT(r, 1–r) does.This research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Extremal Problems for Operators in Banach Spaces Arising in the Study of Linear Operator Pencils

Inspired by some problems on fractional linear transformations the authors introduce and study the class of operators satisfying the condition where stands for the spectral radius; and the class of Banach spaces in which all operators satisfy this condition, the authors call such spaces V-spaces. It is shown that many well-known reflexive spaces, in particular, such spaces as L_p(0,1) and C_p, are non-V-spaces if p 2; and that the spaces l_p are V-spaces if and only if 1 < p < . The authors pose and discuss some related open problems.     

Aluthge Transforms of Complex Symmetric Operators

If denotes the polar decomposition of a bounded linear operator T, then the Aluthge transform of T is defined to be the operator . In this note we study the relationship between the Aluthge transform and the class of complex symmetric operators (T iscomplex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution so that T = CT*C). In this note we prove that: (1) the Aluthge transform of a complex symmetric operator is complex symmetric, (2) if T is complex symmetric, then and are unitarily equivalent, (3) if T is complex symmetric, then if and only if T is normal, (4) if and only if T ² = 0, and (5) every operator which satisfies T ² = 0 is necessarily complex symmetric.

Some generalized theorems onp-hyponormal operators

A bounded linear operatorT is calledp-Hyponormal if (T ^*T)^p(TT ^*)^p, 0<p1. In Aluthge [1], we studied the properties of p-hyponormal operators using the operator . In this work we consider a more general operator , and generalize some properties of p-hyponormal operators obtained in [1].     

Rotations of Hypercyclic and Supercyclic Operators

Let T B(X) be a hypercyclic operator and a complex number of modulus 1. Then T is hypercyclic and has the same set of hypercyclic vectors as T. A version of this results gives for a wide class of supercyclic operators that x X is supercyclic for T if and only if the set {tTⁿ x : t > 0, n = 0, 1, ...} is dense in X. This gives answers to several questions studied in the literature.

Analysis of Non-normal Operators via Aluthge Transformation

Let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space . In this paper, we show that T has Bishops property () if and only if its Aluthge transformation has property (). As applications, we can obtain the following results. Every w-hyponormal operator has property (). Quasi-similar w-hyponormal operators have equal spectra and equal essential spectra. Moreover, in the last section, we consider Chs problem that whether the semi-hyponormality of T implies the spectral mapping theorem Re(T) = (Re T) or not.
