RIESZ PROJECTION AND WEYL’S THEOREM FOR HEREDITARILY ABSOLUTE-(π,π)-PARANORMAL OPERATORS D.SENTHILKUMAR AND PRASAD.T Abstract. A bounded linear operator π ∈ π΅(π»), π» a Hilbert space is hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal (π»π΄π ) , if when ever π ⊆ π» is a closed invariant subspace of π , the restriction π β£π of π to π is absolute-(p,r)paranormal. We study the necessary and suο¬cient condition for the self- adjoinness of Riesz Projection ππ associated with π ∈ π(π ), π is hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal and show that Weyl’s theorem holds for hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operators. 1. Introduction and Priliminaries Let π΅(π») denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on inο¬nite dimensional separable Hilbert space π». An operator π ∈ π΅(π») is said to be p-paranormal if β₯β£π β£π π β£π β£π π₯β₯ ≥ β₯β£π β£π π₯β₯2 for every unit vector π₯ and π > 0 , where the polar decomposition of π is deο¬ned by π = π β£π β£. The class of p-paranormal operators was introduced in [11], and have since been studied in [26] and [15]. An operator π ∈ π΅(π») is said to be absolute (p,r)-paranormal for π > 0 and π > 0 if β₯β£π β£π β£π ∗ β£π π₯β₯π ≥ β₯β£π ∗ β£π π₯β₯π+π for every unit vector π₯ and normaloid if π(π ) = β₯π β₯ , where π(π ) denotes the spectral radius of π . The class of absolute (p,r)-paranormal operators was deο¬ned and studied by Yamazaki and Yanagida [27]. It is well known that every absolute (p,p)-paranormal is p-paranormal and every absolute (k,1)paranormal is absolute-k-paranormal, see [27]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classiο¬cation. 47A10,47A11.

Published August 20, 2010. 100 RIESZ PROJECTION AND WEYL’S THEOREM..... 101 The quasinilpotent part π»0 (π ) and the analytic core πΎ(π ) of a Hilbert space operator π are deο¬ned by 1 π»0 (π ) = {π₯ ∈ H : limπ→∞ β₯π π π₯β₯ π = 0} and πΎ(π )={π₯ ∈ X : there exists a sequence {π₯π } ⊂ π and πΏ > 0 for which π₯=π₯0 , π (π₯π+1 )=π₯π and β₯π₯π β₯ ≤ πΏ π β₯π₯β₯ for all π=1, 2, ...} . It is well known that π»0 (π ) and πΎ(π ) are non - closed hyperinvariant subspaces of π such that π −π (0) ⊆ π»0 (π ) for all π=0, 1, 2, ... and π πΎ(π )=πΎ(π ) [17]. An operator π ∈ π΅(H) is said to be semi regular if π (H) is closed and π −1 (0) ⊂ ∩ π ∞ (H)= π∈π π π (H). An operator π admits a generalized Kato decomposition , GKD for short , if there exists a pair of π - invarient closed subspaces (π, π ) such that H=π ⊕ π , the restriction π β£π is quasinilpotent and π β£π is semi regular. For more information, see [1] and [18]. If the range π (π») of π ∈ π΅(π») is closed and πΌ(π )=dim(π −1 (0)) < ∞ (resp., π½(π )=dim(π»/π (π»)) < ∞) then π is upper semi Fredholm (resp., lower semi Fredholm) operator. Let Φ+ (π») (resp.,Φ− (π»)) denote the semigroup of upper semi Fredholm (resp., lower semi Fredholm) operator on π». An operator π ∈ π΅(π») is said to be semi Fredhom if π ∈ Φ+ (π») ∪ Φ− (π») and Fredholm if π ∈ Φ+ (π») ∩ Φ− (π»). If π is semi Fredholm then the index of π is deο¬ned by ind(π ) = πΌ(π ) − π½(π ). The ascent of π , asc(π ), is the least non negative integer π such that π −π (0) = π −(π+1) (0). If such π does not exist, then asc(π ) = ∞. The descent of π , des(π ), is the least non negative integer π such that π π (H)=π π+1 (H). If such π does not exist, then des(π ) = ∞ . We say that π is of ο¬nite ascent (resp., ο¬nite descent) if asc(π −π) < ∞ (resp., des(π −π) < ∞) for all complex numbers π. It is well known that if asc(π ) and des(π ) are both ο¬nite then they are equal [14, Proposition 38.6]. An operator π ∈ π΅(π») is Weyl if it is Fredholm of index zero and Browder if π is Fredholm and asc(π )= des (π )< ∞ . Let β denote the set of complex numbers and let π(π ) denote the spectrum of π . The Weyl spectrum ππ€ (π ) and Browder spectrum ππ (π ) of π are deο¬ned by ππ€ (π ) = {π ∈ β : π − π is not Weyl}, ππ (π ) = {π ∈ β : π − π is not Browder }⋅. 102 D.SENTHILKUMAR, PRASAD.T Let π00 (π ) denote the set of eigenvalues of π of ο¬nite geometric multiplicity and let π0 (π ) := π(π ) β ππ (π ) denote set of all Riesz points of π . According to Coburn [6], Weyl’s theorem holds for π if π(π ) β ππ€ (π ) = π00 (π ), and that Browder’s theorm holds for π if π(π ) β ππ€ (π ) = π0 (π ). Note that Weyl’s theorem =⇒ Browder’s theorem , see [13]. Hermann Weyl [25] examined the spectra of all compact perturbations π + πΎ of a single hermitian operator π and discovered that π ∈ π(π + πΎ) for every compact operator πΎ if and only if π is not an isolated eigenvalue of ο¬nite multiplicity in π(π ). This remarkable result is known as Weyl’s theorem. Many mathematicians extended Weyl’s theorem to several classes of operators including p-hyponormal [5], paranormal [4] , w-hyponormal and Class A, see [12] and [22]. Let πΎ(π») denote the ideal of all compact operators on π» and let ππ (π ) be the approximate point spectrum of π ∈ π΅(π»). The essential approximate point spectrum πππ (π ) is deο¬ned by πππ (π ) = ∩{ππ (π + πΎ) : πΎ ∈ πΎ(π»)}. In [19], RakoΛ πevi` π introduced the concept of a-Weyl’s theorem. An operator π ∈ π΅(π») holds a-Weyl’s theorem if πππ (π ) = ππ (π ) β ππ0 (π ), where ππ0 (π ) = {π ∈ β : π ∈ ππ πππ (π ) and 0 < πΌ(π − π) < ∞}. This approximate point spectrum version of Weyl’s theorem have been much investigated in [7] and [8]. An operator π ∈ π΅(H) has the single valued extension property (SVEP) at π0 ∈ β, if for every open disc π·π0 centered at π0 the only analytic function π : π·π0 → π» which satisο¬es (π − π)π (π)=0 for all π ∈ π·π0 is the function π ≡ 0. We say that π has SVEP if it has SVEP at every π ∈ β. Let π ∈ π΅(π») and let π be an isolated point of π(π ) . If there exist a closed disc π·π centered at π that satisο¬es π·π ∩ π(π ) = {π}, then the operator RIESZ PROJECTION AND WEYL’S THEOREM..... ππ = 1 2ππ ∫ ∂π·π 103 (π − π )−1 ππ associated with π is deο¬ned by familiar Cauchy integral[14] is called Riesz projection with respect to π , which has the properties that ππ2 = ππ , ππ π = π ππ , and π(π β£ππ π») = {π}. Self-adjointness of Riesz Projection ππ associated with π ∈ π(π ) for hyponormal operators has been proved by Stampο¬i [20] and this result was extended for whyponormal by Han, Lee and Wang [12], for class A and paranormal operators by Uchiyama ([23], [24]). Duggal [9] investigated the necessary and suο¬cient condition for the self-adjointness of Riesz Projection for operators of class πΆπ»π . In this paper, we show the necessary and suο¬cient condition for the self-adjointness of Riesz Projection associated with π ∈ ππ ππ(π ) and Weyl’s theorem holds for π ∈ π»π΄π . 2. Riesz projection and Weyl’s theorem The class of p-paranormal operators inherit some of the properties of paranormal operators , as in the case , if π is invertible and p-paranormal then π −1 is p-paranormal [15]. If π is invertible and absolute (p,r)-paranormal, then π −1 is absolute-(r,p)-paranormal [27]. A part of an operator is a restriction of it to an invariant subspace. If π is paranormal then we see that every part of it is paranormal. Now we deο¬ne class of hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operators (π»π΄π ) as follows . Deο¬nition 2.1. The class π»π΄π of hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operators between Hilbert Spaces consists of those operators π ∈ π΅(π») for which , when ever π ⊆ π» is a closed invariant subspace of π , the restriction π β£π of π to π is absolute-(p,r)-paranormal. The class π»π΄π is large; it contains , among others, the classes of hyponormal (π ∈ π΅(π») :π ∗ π ≥ π π ∗ ) , p-hyponormal (π ∈ π΅(π») :(π ∗ π )π ≥ (π π ∗ )π , 0 < π < 1 ) and class A (π ∈ π΅(π») :β£π 2 β£ ≥ β£π β£2 ) operators. Every class π»π΄π operator is normaloid. For hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operators, isolated points of spectrum are simple poles of resolvent set. 104 D.SENTHILKUMAR, PRASAD.T Theorem 2.2. If π ∈ π»π΄π , then every isolated point of π(π ) is simple pole of the resolvent of π . Proof. If π ∈ π»π΄π and π is an isolated point of π(π ) , then π»=π»0 (π − π) ⊕ πΎ(π − π) where π»0 (π − π) β= {0} and (π − π)πΎ(π − π)=πΎ(π − π) [17]. If π = 0 , consider the hereditarily absolute (p,r)-paranormal operator π β£π»0 (π ) . Since π β£π»0 (π ) is absolute (p,r)-paranormal, π β£π»0 (π ) is normaloid by [27, Theorem 8]. Therefore, π(π β£π»0 (π )) = {0} implies π β£π»0 (π ) = 0 . If π β= 0 , we may assume π = 1 . Since π β£π»0 (π −1) is hereditarily absolute (p,r) paranormal and sup β₯(π β£π»0 (π −1))π β₯ ≤ 1, where supremum is taken over all integers π, it follows that π β£π»0 (π −1) = πΌβ£π»0 (π − 1) by [16, Theorem 1.5.14] which implies that π»0 (π − 1) = (π − 1)−1 (0) and so π»0 (π − π) = (π − π)−1 (0). Hence (π − π)π»=0 ⊕ (π − π)πΎ(π − π)=0 ⊕ πΎ(π − π). Thus π» = (π − π)−1 (0) ⊕ (π − π)π». Hence π is a simple pole of the resolvent of π . β‘ An operator π ∈ π΅(π») is said to be reguloid if π is an isolated point of π(π ) implies (π − π)−1 (0) and (π − π)π» are complimented in π». Evidently, π is reguloid implies π is isoloid (ie., every isolated point of π(π ) is an eigenvalue of T). The following corollaries are immediate consequences of Theorem 2.2. Corollary 2.3. If π ∈ π»π΄π then π is reguloid. Corollary 2.4. If π ∈ π»π΄π then π0 (π )=π00 (π ). Theorem 2.5. If π ∈ π»π΄π and π ∈ isoπ(π ), then ππ is self-adjoint if and only if (π − π)−1 (0) ⊆ (π ∗ − π)−1 (0). Proof. If π ∈ π»π΄π and π ∈ ππ ππ(π ), then π»=π»0 (π − π) ⊕ πΎ(π − π) = (π − π)−1 (0) ⊕ (π − π)π» as a topological direct sum and π has matrix decomposition β π =β π1 π2 ββ β β 0 π3 where π(π1 )={π} and π(π3 )=π(π ) β {π}. (π − π)−1 (0) (π − π)π» β β RIESZ PROJECTION AND WEYL’S THEOREM..... 105 Suppose that (π − π)−1 (0) ⊆ (π ∗ − π)−1 (0). If π₯=π₯1 ⊕ π₯2 ∈ (π − π)−1 (0), then π₯1 ∈ (π1 − π)−1 (0) and π₯2 = 0. Since (π − π)−1 (0) ⊆ (π ∗ − π)−1 (0), (π ∗ − π)(π₯1 ⊕ 0) = 0 ⊕ π2∗ π₯1 = 0 and so π2 is the zero operator. Thus (π − π)−1 (0) reduces π . Consequently, ππ−1 (0)⊥ = ππ π». Thus, ππ is self-adjoint. Conversely, suppose the Riesz Projection ππ is self-adjoint. From [14, Theorem 49.1], ππ π» = π»0 (π −π) = (π −π)−1 (0) and ππ−1 (0) = πΎ(π −π) = (π −π)π». Since ππ π» ⊥ = ππ−1 (0), and since ππ π» ⊥ = (π − π)π» ⊥ = (π ∗ − π)−1 (0), the condition (π − π)−1 (0) ⊆ (π ∗ − π)−1 (0) is necessary. β‘ Let M and N be linear subspaces of a Banach space X. Then M is said to be orthogonal to N, π ⊥π , in the sense of G.Brikhoο¬, if β₯π₯β₯ ≤ β₯π₯ + π¦β₯ for every π₯ ∈ π and π¦ ∈ π . Note that in general this is not symmetric relation. when π is Hilbert Space it reduces to the usual (symmetric) orthogonality. If π ∈ π΅(π») we shall write π (π ) and π (π ) for the range and null space of π and π(π ) denote the numerical radius of π . Proposition 2.6. If π ∈ π»π΄π , then N(π − πΌ)⊥N(π − π½) for distinct complex numbers πΌ(β= 0) and π½. Proof. Suppose β£πΌβ£ ≥ β£π½β£ . Let π denote the subspace generated by π₯ and π¦ such that (π − πΌ)π₯ = 0 = (π − π½)π¦ and π1 = π β£π . Then π(π1 ) = {πΌ, π½} and π(π1 ) = π(π1 ) = β£πΌβ£ . Thus πΌ ∈ ∂π£(π΅(π ), π1 ) , where ∂π£(π΅(π ), π1 ) denotes the boundary of the numerical range of π1 ∈ π΅(π ). By [21, Proposition 1] it follows that β₯(π1 − πΌ)π€ + π₯β₯ ≥ β₯π₯β₯ for π₯ ∈ π (π − πΌ) and π€ ∈ π . Let ππΌ (π1 ) denotes the Riesz projection of π1 associated with πΌ , then π (π1 − πΌ) = π (πΌ − ππΌ (π1 )) = π (ππ½ (π1 )) = π (π1 − π½) implies β₯π₯β₯ ≤ β₯π₯ + π¦β₯ . If β£πΌβ£ < β£π½β£ then π1 is invertible with π(π1−1 ) = {πΌ−1 , π½ −1 } . Being hereditarily absolute-(p,r)-paranormal, π1−1 also normaloid. Thus π(π1−1 ) = β£πΌ−1 β£ and (π1−1 − πΌ−1 )π₯ = 0 = (π1−1 − π½ −1 )π¦ . This completes the proof. β‘ For an operator π ∈ π΅(π») ,the reduced minimum modulus is deο¬ned by 106 D.SENTHILKUMAR, PRASAD.T β₯π π₯β₯ −1 πΎ(π ) = πππ { πππ π‘(π₯,(π (0)}. )−1 (0)) : π₯ ∈ π» β π Obviously πΎ(π ∗ ) = πΎ(π ), and π (π») is closed if and only if πΎ(π ) > 0[10]. Theorem 2.7. If π ∈ π»π΄π , then π and π ∗ have SVEP at points π ∈ π(π )βππ€ (π ). Proof. Let π ∈ π(π ) β ππ€ (π ) then (π − π) is Fredhlom of index zero . Suppose that the point spectrum of π clusters at π, then there exists a sequence {ππ } of non zero eigenvalues of π converging to π. Choose ππ ∈ {ππ }. By Proposition 2.6 eigenspaces corresponding to non zero eigenvalues of π are mutually orthogonal, and if π = 0 then eigenspaces corresponding to the eigenvalue ππ is orthogonal to the eigenspaces corresponding to the eigenvalue 0. Then πππ π‘(π₯, (π − π)−1 (0)) ≥ 1 for every unit vector π₯ ∈ (π − ππ )−1 (0). We have πΏ(ππ , π) =sup{πππ π‘(π₯, (π − π)−1 (0)) : π₯ ∈ (π − ππ )−1 (0), β₯ π₯ β₯= 1} ≥ 1for all m. Thus β£ππ −πβ£ → 0 as π → ∞ πΎ(π − π)= πΏ(π π ,π) which contradicts the fact that (π − π)π» is closed. Hence the point spectrum of π does not clusters at π . Applying [3, Corollary 2.10], it follows that π and π ∗ has SVEP at π. β‘ Theorem 2.8. If π ∈ π»π΄π , then π and π ∗ holds Weyl’s theorem. Proof. By Theorem 2.7, π have SVEP at points π ∈ π(π ) β ππ€ (π ) . Recall from Corollary 2.4 that π0 (π ) = π00 (π ) . Applying [10, Theorem 2.3] , it follows that T satisο¬es Weyl’s Theorem. Now we show that π ∗ holds Weyl’s theorem. Since π satisο¬es Weyl’s theorem, π ∗ satisο¬es Browder’s theorem. Then π(π ∗ ) β ππ€ (π ∗ ) = π0 (π ∗ ). The inclusion π0 (π ∗ ) ⊆ π00 (π ∗ ) holds for all π ∈ π΅(π»). To prove the opposite inclusion, let π ∈ π00 (π ∗ ) then π ∈isoπ(π ) and so π» = (π − π)−1 (0) ⊕ (π − π)π». Thus π» ∗ = (π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ )π» ∗ ⊕ (π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ )−1 (0). RIESZ PROJECTION AND WEYL’S THEOREM..... 107 It follows that π is the simple pole of the resolvent of π ∗ and so π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ has closed range. Since π ∗ has SVEP and 0 ≤ πΌ(π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ ) < ∞, both asc(π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ ) and des(π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ ) are ο¬nite. Then π½(π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ ) < ∞ by [14, Proposition 38.6]. Hence π ∗ − ππΌ ∗ is Browder and so π ∈ π0 (π ∗ ). Thus π ∗ satisο¬es Weyl’s theorem. β‘ Theorem 2.9. Let π ∈ π»π΄π . Then both π and π ∗ holds a-Weyl’s theorem. Proof. By Theorem 2.8, Weyl’s theorem holds for π . Since π ∗ has SVEP, a-Weyl’s theorem holds for π by [2, Theorem 3.6]. From Theorem 2.8, π ∗ satisο¬es Weyl’s theorem and by Theorem 2.7, π has SVEP. Applying [2, Theorem 3.6], π ∗ satisο¬es a-Weyl’s theorem. β‘ Ackwnoledgement. The authors are grateful to referee for helpful remarks and suggestions. References [1] P.
