A note on $lambda$-Aluthge transforms of operators

author

Abstract:

Let $A=U|A|$ be the polar decomposition of an operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $mathscr{H}$ and $lambdain(0,1)$. The $lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $tilde{A}_lambda:=|A|^lambda U|A|^{1-lambda}$. In this paper we show that emph{i}) when $mathscr{N}(|A|)=0$, $A$ is self-adjoint if and only if so is $tilde{A}_lambda$ for some $lambdaneq{1over2}$. Also $A$ is self adjoint if and only if $A=tilde{A}_lambda^ast$, emph{ii}) if $A$ is normaloid and either $sigma(A)$ has only finitely many distinct nonzero value or $U$ is unitary, then from $A=ctilde{A}_lambda$ for some complex number $c$, we can conclude that $A$ is quasinormal, emph{iii}) if $A^2$ is self-adjoint and any one of the $Re(A)$ or $-Re(A)$ is positive definite then $A$ is self-adjoint, emph{iv}) and finally we show that $$opnorm{|A|^{2lambda}+|A^ast|^{2-2lambda}oplus0}leqopnorm{|A|^{2-2lambda}oplus|A|^{2lambda}}+ opnorm{tilde{A}_lambdaoplus(tilde{A}_lambda)^ast}$$ where $opnorm{cdot}$ stand for some unitarily invariant norm. From that we conclude that $$||A|^{2lambda}+|A^ast|^{2-2lambda}|leqmax(|A|^{2lambda},|A|^{2-2lambda})+|tilde{A}_lambda|.$$

Iterated Aluthge Transforms: a Brief Survey

Given an r × r complex matrix T , if T = U |T | is the polar decomposition of T , then the Aluthge transform is defined by ∆ (T ) = |T |U |T |. Let ∆n(T ) denote the n-times iterated Aluthge transform of T , i.e. ∆0(T ) = T and ∆n(T ) = ∆(∆n−1(T )), n ∈ N. In this paper we make a brief survey on the known properties and applications of the Aluthge trasnsorm, particularly the recent proof of the...

The iterated Aluthge transforms of a matrix converge

Given an r × r complex matrix T , if T = U |T | is the polar decomposition of T , then, the Aluthge transform is defined by ∆ (T ) = |T |U |T |. Let ∆n(T ) denote the n-times iterated Aluthge transform of T , i.e. ∆0(T ) = T and ∆n(T ) = ∆(∆n−1(T )), n ∈ N. We prove that the sequence {∆n(T )}n∈N converges for every r × r matrix T . This result was conjecturated by Jung, Ko and Pearcy in 2003. W...

Aluthge transforms of 2-variable weighted shifts

We introduce two natural notions of multivariable Aluthge transforms (toral and spherical), and study their basic properties. In the case of 2-variable weighted shifts, we first prove that the toral Aluthge transform does not preserve (joint) hyponormality, in sharp contrast with the 1-variable case. Second, we identify a large class of 2-variable weighted shifts for which hyponormality is pres...

A note on connectivity and lambda-modified Wiener index

In theoretical chemistry, -modified Wiener index is a graph invariant topological index to analyze the chemical properties of molecular structure. In this note, we determine the minimum -modified Wiener index of graph with fixed connectivity or edge-connectivity. Our results also present the sufficient and necessary condition for reaching the lower bound.
