Some non-spectral DT-operators in finite von Neumann algebras

Operator Algebras 2021-05-28 v2

Abstract

Given a DT-operator ZZ whose Brown measure is radially symmetric and has a certain concentration property, it is shown that ZZ is not spectral in the sense of Dunford. This is accomplished by showing that the angles between certain complementary Haagerup-Schultz projections of ZZ are zero. New estimates on norms and traces of powers of algebra-valued circular operators over commutative C^*-algebras are also proved.
