Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…

We prove that a (bounded linear) operator acting on an infinite-dimensional, separable, complex Hilbert space can be written as a product of two quasi-nilpotent operators if and only if it is not a semi-Fredholm operator. This solves the…

Let $T$ be a quadratic operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$. We show that $T$ can be written as a product of two positive contractions if and only if $T$ is of the form $$aI \oplus bI \oplus\begin{pmatrix} aI & P \cr 0 & bI \cr…
