Some remarks on the Helton class of an operator

Abstract

In this paper we study some properties of the Helton class of an operator. In particular, we show that the Helton class preserves the quasinilpotent property and Dunford's boundedness condition (B). As corollaries, we get that the Helton class of some quadratically hyponormal operators or decomposable subnormal operators satisfies Dunford's boundedness condition (B). © 2009 The Korean Mathematical Society.
