Spectral properties of doubly commuting hyponormal operators
Two characterizations of the reductivity of a cyclic normal operator in Hilbert space are proved: the equality of the sets of cyclic and *-cyclic vectors, and the equality L²(μ) = P²(μ) for every measure μ equivalent to the scalar-valued spectral measure of the operator. A cyclic subnormal operator is reductive if and only if the first condition is satisfied. Several consequences are also presented.
Xia proves in [9] that a pure subnormal operator S is completely determined by its self-commutator C = S*S - SS*, restricted to the closure M of its range and the operator Λ = (S*|M)*. In [9], [10], [11] he constructs a model for S that involves this two operators and the so-called mosaic, which is a projection-valued function, analytic outside the spectrum of the minimal normal extension of S. He finds all pure subnormals S with rank C = 2. We will give a complete description of pairs of matrices...
This paper concerns pure subnormal operators with finite rank self-commutator, which we call subnormal operators of finite type. We analyze Xia's theory of these operators [21]-[23] and give its alternative exposition. Our exposition is based on the explicit use of a certain algebraic curve in C2, which we call the discriminant curve of a subnormal operator, and the approach of dual analytic similarity models of [26]. We give a complete structure result for subnormal operators of finite type, which...
For an unbounded operator S the question whether its subnormality can be built up from that of every , the restriction of S to a cyclic space generated by f in the domain of S, is analyzed. Though the question at large has been left open some partial results are presented and a possible way to prove it is suggested as well.
