Hyponormal Operators with Infinite Essential Spectrum

Almost α-Hyponormal Operators with Weyl Spectrum of Area Zero

Polynomially hyponormal operators

A survey of the theory of k-hyponormal operators starts with the construction of a polynomially hyponormal operator which is not subnormal. This is achieved via a natural dictionary between positive functionals on specific convex cones of polynomials and linear bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space, with a distinguished cyclic vector. The class of unilateral weighted shifts provides an op...

ON p-HYPONORMAL OPERATORS

In this paper we show that p-hyponormal operators with 0 / ∈ σ(|T | 1 2 r ) are subscalar. As a corollary, we get that such operators with rich spectra have non-trivial invariant subspaces.

Hyponormal Composition Operators

In [1] D. Harrington and R. Whitley examined several questions of seminormality for composition operators. In that article they raise the question of finding a measure theoretic characterization of hyponormality for composition operators. In this article we establish criteria for hyponormality for weighted composition operators. By restricting attention to the case of weight function equal to 1...

Hyponormal Operators with Rank-two Self-commutators

In this paper it is shown that if T ∈ L(H) satisfies (i) T is a pure hyponormal operator; (ii) [T ∗, T ] is of rank-two; and (iii) ker [T ∗, T ] is invariant for T , then T is either a subnormal operator or the Putinar’s matricial model of rank two. More precisely, if T |ker [T∗,T ] has the rank-one self-commutator then T is subnormal and if instead T |ker [T∗,T ] has the ranktwo self-commutato...
