We study the class of hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts with two consecutive equal weights in the weight sequence of one of the coordinate operators. We show that under natural assumptions on the coordinate operators, the presence of…
A complete characterization of near subnormality for bilateral weighted shifts is obtained. As an application of the main results, many new answers to the Hilbert space problem 160 are presented at the end of the paper.
For 2-variable weighted shifts W_{(\alpha,\beta)}(T_1, T_2) we study the invariance of (joint) k- hyponormality under the action (h,\ell) -> W_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{(h,\ell)}(T_1, T_2):=(T_1^k,T_2^{\ell}) (h,\ell >=1). We show that for every k…
We study the spectral pictures of (jointly) hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts with commuting subnormal components. By contrast with all known results in the theory of subnormal single and 2-variable weighted shifts, we show that the…
We characterize $k$-hyponormality and quadratic hyponormality of powers of weighted shifts using Schur product techniques.
Let H_0 (resp. H_\infty denote the class of commuting pairs of subnormal operators on Hilbert space (resp. subnormal pairs), and for an integer k>=1 let H_k denote the class of k-hyponormal pairs in H_0. We study the hyponormality and…
The complete characterizations of the spectra and their various parts of hyponormal unilateral and bilateral weighted shifts are presented respectively in this paper. The results obtained here generalize the corresponding work of the…
In this note, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for unilateral weighted shifts to be near subnormal . As an application of the main results, many answers to the Hilbert space problem 160 are presented at the end of the paper.
We study jointly quasinormal and spherically quasinormal pairs of commuting operators on Hilbert space, as well as their powers. We first prove that, up to a constant multiple, the only jointly quasinormal $2$-variable weighted shift is the…
The Lifting Problem for Commuting Subnormals (LPCS) asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of subnormal operators on Hilbert space to admit commuting normal extensions. \ We study LPCS within the class of commuting…
We give the first example of a quartically hyponormal unilateral weighted shift which is not 3-hyponormal.
The subnormality for the sum of commuting subnormal operators does not guarantee the existence of commuting normal extensions.
In this paper we explore finite rank perturbations of unilateral weighted shifts $W_\alpha$. First, we prove that the subnormality of $W_\alpha$ is never stable under nonzero finite rank pertrubations unless the perturbation occurs at the…
This paper is devoted to the study of propagation phenomena for $2$--hyponormal, quadratically hyponormal, and cubically hyponormal operator-valued weighted shifts. \ First, we show that every {\it quadratically} hyponormal matrix-valued…
We first find an explicit formula for the square root of positive $2 \times 2$ operator matrices with commuting entries, and then use it to define and study semi-hyponormality for commuting pairs of Hilbert space operators. \ For the…
We study a general class of weighted shifts whose weights $\alpha$ are given by $\alpha_n = \sqrt{\frac{p^n + N}{p^n + D}}$, where $p > 1$ and $N$ and $D$ are parameters so that $(N,D) \in (-1, 1)\times (-1, 1)$. Some few examples of these…
In the study of the geometrically regular weighted shifts (GRWS) -- see [5] -- signed power representing measures (which we call Berger-type charges) played an important role. Motivated by their utility in that context, we establish a…
We construct three different families of commuting pairs of subnormal operators, jointly hyponormal but not admitting commuting normal extensions. Each such family can be used to answer in the negative a 1988 conjecture of R. Curto, P.…
Hyponormal operators are known to be among the most difficult operators to analyze. In this work, we focus on two finite types of hyponormal operators. The first type becomes analytic shifts, while the second type admits analytic models. A…
The recently introduced $\{k\}$-packing function problem is considered in this paper. Special relation between a case when $k=1$, $k\ge 2$ and linear programming relaxation is introduced with sufficient conditions for optimality. For…
