Abstract

In a recent paper [9], R. E. Curto, S. H. Lee and J. Yoon asked the following question: Let TT be a subnormal operator, and assume that T2T^2 is quasinormal. Does it follow that TT is quasinormal?. In [36] we answered this question in the affirmative. In the present paper, we will extend this result in two directions. Namely, we prove that both class A nnth roots of bounded quasinormal operators and subnormal nnth roots of unbounded quasinormal operators are quasinormal. We also show that a non-normal quasinormal operator having a quasinormal nnth root has a non-quasinormal nnth root.
