Abstract

A complete characterization of Hilbert space operators that generate weakly amenable algebras remains open, even in the case of compact operator. Farenick, Forrest and Marcoux proposed the question that if TT is a compact weakly amenable operator on a Hilbert space H\mathfrak{H}, then is TT similar to a normal operator? In this paper we demonstrate an example of compact triangular operator on infinite-dimension Hilbert space which is a weakly amenable and character amenable operator but is not similar to a normal operator.
