Essential positivity

Functional Analysis 2024-06-12 v2

Abstract

We define essentially positive operators on Hilbert space as a class of self-adjoint operators whose essential spectra is contained in the nonnegative real numbers and describe their basic properties. Using Toeplitz operators and the Berezin transform, we further illustrate the notion of essential positivity in the Hardy space and the Bergman space.
