In a recent paper [9], R. E. Curto, S. H. Lee and J. Yoon asked the following question: Let $T$ be a subnormal operator, and assume that $T^2$ is quasinormal. Does it follow that $T$ is quasinormal?. In [36] we answered this question in the…

The paper extends three results regarding the nth root problem by embedding classes of Hilbert-space operators into the class of posinormal operators. For instance, it is shown that (i) for coposinormal operators, if T is paranormal and T^n…

In this paper, we are mainly concerned with studying arbitrary unbounded square roots of linear operators as well as some of their basic properties. The paper contains many examples and counterexamples. As an illustration, we give explicit…

For $n$-normal operators $A$ [2, 4, 5], equivalently $n$-th roots $A$ of normal Hilbert space operators, both $A$ and $A^*$ satisfy the Bishop--Eschmeier--Putinar property $(\beta)_{\epsilon}$, $A$ is decomposable and the quasi-nilpotent…

In this paper, we extend Ando's theorem on paranormal operators, which states that if $ T \in \mathfrak{B}(\mathcal{H}) $ is a paranormal operator and there exists $ n \in \mathbb{N} $ such that $ T^n $ is normal, then $ T $ is normal. We…

In this article, we prove the following spectral theorem for right linear normal operators (need not to be bounded) in quaternionic Hilbert spaces: Let $T$ be an unbounded right quaternionic linear normal operator in a quaternionic Hilbert…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a bounded operator defined between complex Hilbert spaces to be absolutely norm attaining. We discuss structure of such operators in the case of self-adjoint and normal operators separately.…

Let ${\mathbb B}(\mathscr H)$ denote the set of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space ${\mathscr H}$. In this paper, we present some norm inequalities for sums of operators which are a generalization of some recent…

We investigate the $n$th root problem for bounded operators on a Hilbert space within the class of conditionally positive definite (CPD) operators determined by the L\'evy--Khintchine formula. The class contains subnormal operators,…

The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the question of invertibility of the sum of operators. The setting is bounded and unbounded linear operators. Some interesting examples and consequences are given. As an illustrative…

A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…

We obtain various upper bounds for the numerical radius $w(T)$ of a bounded linear operator $T$ defined on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, by developing the upper bounds for the $\alpha$-norm of $T$, which is defined as…

We prove that for a right linear bounded normal operator on a quaternionic Hilbert space (quaternionic bounded normal operator) the norm and the numerical radius are equal. As a consequence of this result we give a new proof of the known…

A new approach to normal operators in real Hilbert spaces is discussed, and a spectral representation is obtained, derived directly from the complex case. The results are then applied to quaternionic normal operators, regarded as a special…

We prove that the algebraic sum of unbounded normal operators satisfies the square root problem of Kato under appropriate hypotheses. As application, we consider perturbed Schrodinger operators.

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…

Let $T\in\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ and $T=U|T|$ be its polar decomposition. We proved that (i) if $T$ is log-hyponormal or $p$-hyponormal and $U^n=U^\ast$ for some $n$, then $T$ is normal; (ii) if the spectrum of $U$ is contained in some…

An operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space is called $(\alpha ,\beta)$-normal ($0\leq \alpha \leq 1\leq \beta $) if \begin{equation*} \alpha ^{2}T^{\ast }T\leq TT^{\ast}\leq \beta ^{2}T^{\ast}T. \end{equation*} In this paper we establish…

We present new upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator defined on a complex Hilbert space, which improve on the existing bounds. Among many other inequalities proved in this article, we show that for a…
