| Abstract: | An n-normal operator may be defined as an (n times n) operator matrix with entries that are mutually commuting normal operators and an operator (T in mathcal {B(H)}) is quasi-nM-hyponormal (for (n in mathbb {N})) if it is unitarily equivalent to an (n times n) upper triangular operator matrix ((T_{ij})) acting on (mathcal {K}^{(n)}), where (mathcal {K}) is a separable complex Hilbert space and the diagonal entries (T_{jj}) ((j = 1,2,ldots , n)) are M-hyponormal operators in (mathcal {B(K)}). This is an extended notion of n-normal operators. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for an (n times n) triangular operator matrix to have Bishop’s property ((beta )). This leads us to study the hyperinvariant subspace problem for an (n times n) triangular operator matrix. |
