Essentially normal operators
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a survey of essentially normal operators and related developments. There is an overview of Weyl–von Neumann theorems about expressing normal operators as diagonal plus compact operators. Then we consider the Brown–Douglas–Fillmore theorem classifying essentially normal operators. Finally we discuss almost commuting matrices, and how they were used to obtain two other proofs of the BDF theorem. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 47-02,47B15,46L80.

Which Linear-fractional Composition Operators Are Essentially Normal?
We characterize the essentially normal composition operators induced on the Hardy space H2 by linear fractional maps; they are either compact, normal, or (the nontrivial case) induced by parabolic non-automorphisms. These parabolic maps induce the first known examples of nontrivially essentially normal composition operators. In addition we characterize those linearfractionally induced compositi...
متن کاملFrom torsion theories to closure operators and factorization systems
Torsion theories are here extended to categories equipped with an ideal of 'null morphisms', or equivalently a full subcategory of 'null objects'. Instances of this extension include closure operators viewed as generalised torsion theories in a 'category of pairs', and factorization systems viewed as torsion theories in a category of morphisms. The first point has essentially been treated in [15].
متن کاملRepresentations of Hermitian Commutative ∗-algebras by Unbounded Operators
We give a spectral theorem for unital representions of Hermitian commutative unital ∗-algebras by possibly unbounded operators in a pre-Hilbert space. A more general result is known for the case in which the ∗-algebra is countably generated. 1. Statement of the Main Result Our main result is the following: Theorem 1. Let π be a unital representation of a Hermitian commutative unital ∗-algebra A...
متن کاملComposition operators and natural metrics in meromorphic function classes $Q_p$
In this paper, we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $Q_p$-classes. Also, these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics. Moreover, compact composition operators $C_phi$ and Lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $Q_p$-classes are characte...
متن کاملExtensions of K by C(x)
An operator A ∈ B(H) whose self-commutator A∗A − AA∗ is compact is called essentially normal. Two operators A ∈ B(H) and B ∈ B(K) are said to be approximately equivalent if they are unitarily equivalent modulo compact operators; more precisely, if there is a unitary operator U : H → K such that B − UAU∗ is compact. This relation is written A ∼ B, whereas the stronger relation of unitary equival...
