Normality of adjointable module maps

Abstract

Normality of bounded and unbounded adjointable operators are discussed. Suppose TT is an adjointable operator between Hilbert C*-modules which has polar decomposition, then TT is normal if and only if there exists a unitary operator U \mathcal{U} which commutes with TT and TT^* such that T=UT.T=\mathcal{U} \, T^*. Kaplansky's theorem for normality of the product of bounded operators is also reformulated in the framework of Hilbert C*-modules.
