A note on quasi-paranormal operators (Q1943588)

Let \(T\) be a bounded linear operator on an infinite-dimensional complex separable Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\). In this paper, the authors consider the new class \({\mathcal Q}{\mathcal P}\) of operators satisfying \(\| T^2x\|^2\leq\| T^3x\|\,\| Tx\|\) for all \(x\in{\mathcal H}\) and study basic properties of such operators. In particular, they prove that, if \(T\in{\mathcal Q}{\mathcal P}\) and \(E\) is the Riesz idempotent for a nonzero isolated point \(\lambda_0\in\sigma(T)\), then \(E\) is self-adjoint if and only if \(N(T-\lambda_0)\subset N(T^*-\overline{\lambda_0})\). Reviewer's remark. In Proposition 2.13, saying that, if \(T\) is algebraically quasi-paranormal, then \(T\) has Bishop's property \((\beta)\), the authors use the result from [\textit{K. Tanahashi} and \textit{A. Uchiyama}, Oper. Matrices 3, No. 4, 517--524 (2009; Zbl 1198.47039); \url{doi:10.7153/oam-03-29}] claiming that every paranormal operator has Bishop's property \((\beta)\). As shown in [Oper. Matrices 7, No. 3, 737--738 (2013; Zbl 1291.47019), \url{doi:10.7153/oam-07-42}], this statement is in fact false.
