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.

On Aluthge Transforms of p-hyponormal Operators

In this note we give an example of an ∞-hyponormal operator T whose Aluthge transform is not (1+ɛ)-hyponormal for any ɛ > 0 and show that the sequence of interated Aluthge transforms of T need not converge in the weak operator topology, which solve two problems in [6].

Remarks on Complex Symmetric Operators

An operator \({T\in{\mathcal{L}}({\mathcal{H}})}\) is said to be complex symmetric if there exists a conjugation C on \({{\mathcal H}}\) such that \({T= CT^{\ast}C}\). In this paper, we study the spectral radius algebras for complex symmetric operators. In particular, we prove that if A is a complex symmetric operator, then the spectral radius algebra \({{\mathcal B}_{A}}\) associated with A has a nontrivial invariant subspace under some conditions. Finally, we give some relations between \({P_{\tilde{A}}}\) and \({P_{\widetilde{A^{\ast}}}}\) (defined below) when A is complex symmetric.     

Subnormality of Aluthge Transforms of Weighted Shifts

In this note we study the k-hyponormality and the subnormality of Aluthge transforms of weighted shifts. It is shown that Aluthge transforms of weighted shifts need not preserve the k-hyponormality. Moreover, we show that if W _α is a subnormal weighted shift with 2-atomic Berger measure then its Aluthge transform [(W)\tilde]_a{\widetilde{W}_\alpha} is subnormal if and only if at least one of two atoms is zero.     

Remarks on the Structure of Complex Symmetric Operators

A conjugation C is antilinear isometric involution on a complex Hilbert space , and is called complex symmetric if T* = CTC for some conjugation C. We use multiplicity theory to describe all conjugations commuting with a fixed positive operator. We expand upon a result of Garcia and Putinar to provide a factorization of complex symmetric operators which is based on the polar decomposition. This paper is based in part on the first author’s Master’s Project.

Variational-iterative Calculations for Symmetric Operators on Real and Complex Spaces

Approximate solutions to problems from quantum scattering theoryand the theory of gauge invariance are obtained. The methodused is a variational-iterative technique applied to operatorson a complex space, not necessarily with a discrete spectrum.     

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.     

A Note on Quasi-paranormal Operators

Let T be a bounded linear operator on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space. In this paper, we introduce the new class, denoted ${{\mathcal{QP}}}$ , of operators satisfying ${{\|T^{2}x\|^{2}\leq \|T^{3}x\|\|Tx\|}}$ for all ${{x \in \mathcal{H}}}$ . This class includes the classes of paranormal operators and quasi-class A operators. We prove basic structural properties of these operators. Using these results, we also prove that if E is the Riesz idempotent for a nonzero isolated point λ₀ of the spectrum of ${{T \in \mathcal{QP}}}$ , then E is self-adjoint if and only if ${{N(T-\lambda_{0}) \subseteq N(T^{*}-\overline{\lambda}_{0})}}$ .

A Note on *-paranormal Operators

In this note we show that if either T or T^* is totally *-paranormal then Weyls theorem holds for f(T) for every f , and also a-Weyls theorem holds for f(T) if T is totally *-paranormal. We prove that if either T or T^* is *-paranormal then the spectral mapping theorem holds for the Weyl spectrum and for the essential approximate point spectrum.     

A Note on Spaces of Absolutely Convergent Fourier Transforms

Let \({\mathcal {F}}f\) be an abolutely convergent Fourier transform on the real line. We extend the following result of K.

Normality of Products of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Hyponormal Operators and Their Aluthge Transforms

Let B(H) denote the algebra of operators on a complex separable Hilbert space H, and let A $\in$ B(H) have the polar decomposition A = U|A|. The Aluthge transform is defined to be the operator . We say that A $\in$ B(H) is p-hyponormal, . Let . Given p-hyponormal , such that AB is compact, this note considers the relationship between denotes an enumeration in decreasing order repeated according to multiplicity of the eigenvalues of the compact operator T (respectively, singular values of the compact operator T). It is proved that is bounded above by and below by for all j = 1, 2, . . . and that if also is normal, then there exists a unitary U¹ such that for all j = 1, 2, . . ..     

Polar Wavelet Transforms and Localization Operators

The notion of a polar wavelet transform is introduced. The underlying non-unimodular Lie group, the associated square-integrable representations and admissible wavelets are studied. The resolution of the identity formula for the polar wavelet transform is then formulated and proved. Localization operators corresponding to the polar wavelet transforms are then defined. It is proved that under suitable conditions on the symbols, the localization operators are, in descending order of complexity, paracommutators, paraproducts and Fourier multipliers.

A Note on a Class of Operators

The aim of this note is to study the spectral properties of the LUECKE's class R of operators T such that ‖(T – zI)^?1‖=1/d(z, W(T)) for all z?CLW(T), where CLW(T) is the closure of the numerical range W(T) of T and d(z, W(T)) is the distance from z to W(T). The main emphasis is on the investigation of those properties of operators of class R which are either similar to or distinct from those of operators satisfying the growth condition (G₁).     

A Note on Positivity of Elementary Operators

We show that operators on n x n matrices which are representablein the form (where a_i andb_i are n x n matrices) and are k-positive for must be completely positive. As a consequence, elementaryoperators on a C^*-algebra with minimal length l which are k-positivefor must be completely positive. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 47B47, 46L05, 47B65.
