Toral and spherical Aluthge transforms of $2$-variable weighted shifts

Functional Analysis 2017-10-31 v1

Abstract

We introduce two natural notions of Aluthge transforms (toral and spherical) for 2-variable weighted shifts and study their basic properties. Next, we study the class of spherically quasinormal 22-variable weighted shifts, which are the fixed points for the spherical Aluthge transform. Finally, we briefly discuss the relation between spherically quasinormal and spherically isometric 2-variable weighted shifts.
