In this paper, we give conditions forcing nilpotent operators (everywhere bounded or closed) to be null. More precisely, it is mainly shown any closed or everywhere defined bounded nilpotent operator with a positive (self-adjoint) real part…

Choose a random linear operator on a vector space of finite cardinality N: then the probability that it is nilpotent is 1/N. This is a linear analogue of the fact that for a random self-map of a set of cardinality N, the probability that…

We give a condition ensuring that the operators in a nilpotent Lie algebra of linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space have a common eigenvector.

In this paper, we shall give a necessary and sufficient condition for nilpotency of elementary multiplication operators and some sufficient conditions for elementary operators to be nilpotent on B(E), where E is Banach space.

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…

We prove that a nonzero idempotent is zero-diagonal if and only if it is not a Hilbert-Schmidt perturbation of a projection, along with other useful equivalences. Zero-diagonal operators are those whose diagonal entries are identically zero…

The primary purpose of this paper is to show the existence of normal square and nth roots of some classes of bounded operators on Hilbert spaces. Two interesting simple results hold. Namely, under simple conditions we show that if any…

Fix a field F. A zero-nonzero pattern A is said to be potentially nilpotent over F if there exists a matrix with entries in F with zero-nonzero pattern A that allows nilpotence. In this paper we initiate an investigation into which…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two -non necessarily bounded- normal operators. We give new conditions making their product normal. We also generalize a result by Deutsch et al on normal products of matrices.

Some new characterizations of nonnegative Hamiltonian operator matrices are given. Several necessary and sufficient conditions for an unbounded nonnegative Hamiltonian operators to be invertible are obtained; so that the main results in the…

A nonzero pattern is a matrix with entries in {0,*}. A pattern is potentially nilpotent if there is some nilpotent real matrix with nonzero entries in precisely the entries indicated by the pattern. We develop ways to construct some…

This paper explores idempotent and nilpotent operators in bicomplex spaces, focusing on their properties and behavior. We define idempotent and nilpotent matrices in this framework and derive related results. Several theorems are presented…

We present two novel results about Hilbert space operators which are nilpotent of order two. First, we prove that such operators are indestructible complex symmetric operators, in the sense that tensoring them with any operator yields a…

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.…

An equivalent condition for an element of a Lie algebra acting nilpotently in all its representations is obtained. Namely, it should belong to the derived algebra and go via factoring over the radical to a nilpotent element of the…

We present maximality results in the setting of non necessarily bounded operators. In particular, we discuss and establish results showing when the "inclusion" between operators becomes a full equality.

For an arbitrary operator ideal I, every nilpotent element of I is a single commutator of operators from I^t, for an exponent t that depends on the degree of nilpotency.

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…

The present paper is mainly concerned with equations involving exponentials of bounded normal operators. Conditions implying commutativity of those normal operators are given. This is carried out without the known $2\pi i$-congruence-free…

A bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is posinormal if there exists a positive operator $P$ such that $AA^{*} = A^{*}PA$. We show that if $A$ is posinormal with closed range, then $A^n$ is posinormal and has closed…
