\(p\)-hyponormal operators and quasisimilarity (Q1885319)

The authors show that the normal parts of quasisimilar \(p\)-hyponormal operators are unitarily equivalent. As a corollary of this result, the authors obtain that if a \(p\)-hyponormal operator \(T\) is quasisimilar to a normal operator, then \(T\) is normal and they are unitarily equivalent. Next, the authors obtain some extensions of this corollary. In these extensions, the authors attempt to weaken the conditions of quasisimilarity and normality.
