On the self-inverse operators (Q2379909): Difference between revisions

An invertible operator \(T\) acting on a Hilbert space is called self-inverse if \(A=A^{-1}\). For such operators, the author shows that by knowing any one of the four quantities \(\|T\|\), the norm of \([T^*, T]=T^*T-TT^*\), the norm of \(\{T^*,T\}=T^*T+TT^*\), and the numerical radius of \(T\), one can determine the remaining ones. He also computes the spectrum of \([T^*,T]\) and that of \(\{T^*,T\}\) in the case where \(T\) is self-inverse and the spectrum of \(T\) is an interval. Some applications to automorphic composition operators are given as well.
