When Nilpotence Implies Normality of Bounded Linear Operators

Abstract

In this paper, we give conditions forcing nilpotent matrices (and bounded linear operators in general) to be null or equivalently to be normal. Therefore, a non-zero operator having e.g. a positive real part is never nilpotent. The case of quasinilpotence is also considered.
