On the structure of polynomially normal operators
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
We present some results concerning the structure of polynomially normal operators. It is shown, among other things, that if Tn is normal for some n > 1, then T is quasi–similar to a direct sum of a normal operator and a compact operator and if p(T) is normal with T essentially normal, then T can be written as the sum of a normal operator and a compact operator. Utilizing the direct integral theory of operators we finally show that if p(T) is normal and T*T commutes with T + T*, then T must be normal.
