Subscalarity of (p,k)-quasihyponormal operators

Abstract

In this paper, we show that every (p,k)-quasihyponormal operator has a scalar extension and give some spectral properties of the scalar extensions of (p,k)-quasihyponormal operators. As a corollary, we get that such an operator with rich spectrum has a nontrivial invariant subspace. Finally, we prove that the sum of a p-hyponormal operator and an algebraic operator which are commuting is subscalar. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
