Bishop's property () and essential spectra of quasisimilar operators

We analyze the notion of Bishop's property () to obtain some new concepts. We describe some conditions in terms of these concepts for an operator to have its essential spectrum (spectrum) contained in the essential spectrum (spectrum) of every operator quasisimilar to it. A subfamily of such operators is proved to be dense in .

     

Spectral structure and subdecomposability of -hyponormal operators

We prove that for every -hyponormal operator there corresponds a hyponormal operator such that and have ``equal spectral structure". We also prove that every -hyponormal operator is subdecomposable. Then some relevant quasisimilarity results are obtained, including that two quasisimilar -hyponormal operators have equal essential spectra.
