Fractional powers of hyponormal operators of Putnam type

We are concerned with fractional powers of the so-called hyponormal operators of Putnam type. Under some suitable assumptions it is shown that if A, B are closed hyponormal linear operators of Putnam type acting on a complex Hilbert space H, then D((A+B)α) = D(Aα)∩D(Bα) = D((A+B)∗α) for each α ∈ (0,1). As an application, a large class of the Schrödinger’s operator with a complex potential Q ∈ Lloc(R) +L∞(Rd) is considered.
