Spectral shorted operators

If $\mathcal H$ is a Hilbert space, $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathcal H$ is a closed subspace of $\mathcal H$, and $A$ is a positive bounded linear operator on $\mathcal H$, the spectral shorted operator $\rho(\mathcal S, A)$ is defined as the infimum of the sequence $\Sigma (\mathcal S, A^n)^{1/n}$, where $\Sigma (\mathcal S, B)$ denotes the shorted operator of $B$ to $\mathcal S$. We characterize the left spectral resolution of $\rho(\mathcal S, A)$ and show several properties of this operator, particularly in the case that $\dim \mathcal S = 1$. We use these results to generalize the concept of Kolmogorov complexity for the infinite dimesional case and for non invertible operators.
