The Essential Spectrum of the Essentially Isometric Operator
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Let $T$ be a contraction on a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space and let
$\sigma (T)\,(\text{resp}\text{.}\,{{\sigma }_{e}}(T))$ be its spectrum (resp. essential spectrum). We assume that
$T$ is an essentially isometric operator; that is,
${{I}_{H}}\,-\,T*T$ is compact. We show that if
$D\backslash \sigma (T)\,\ne \,\varnothing $, then for every
$f$ from the disc-algebra
$${{\sigma }_{e}}\left( f\left( T \right) \right)\,=\,f\left( {{\sigma }_{e}}\left( T \right) \right),$$
where $D$ is the open unit disc. In addition, if
$T$ lies in the class
${{C}_{0}}.\,\bigcup \,C{{.}_{0}}$, then
$${{\sigma }_{e}}\left( f\left( T \right) \right)\,=\,f\left( \sigma \left( T \right)\,\bigcap \,\Gamma \right),$$
where $\Gamma $ is the unit circle. Some related problems are also discussed.
